No she did not try to push me into signing it, she only stated that I would recieve a cash back amount due to discounted commision if I sign with her. She said she can present my offer either way. However, I have a seller qualification form that has a list of questions, and a few of them would requrie input from the actual seller, which I have no way of contacting as their info is not listed on the publc MLS.

I am buying, I am a new investor. Already put offers on 10 or so FSBO's and wanted to start working the MLS.

I was just going through the MLS and pulling out properties with indicators of motivation. This agent happened to be the listing agent for both of them.

Sorry for the confusion, I have corrected the first line of my post.

I called an agent on two properties listed in the MLS. I emailed them my list of questions (seller qualification form) and come to find out that this agent only "listed" the property for a flat fee, and offered to represent me and get me the info that I need, CMA, etc.

I told them that I would sign a non exclusive agreement for the two properties in question. They replied that they have never heard of a non exclusive agreement, but they would write up an exclusive and only list the two properties on it. They also said that if they bring a buyer, even without signing, they by defaut will represent the seller.

So they get paid either way and gave me the choice, but added in that if I sign with them, they give a cash rebate.

My question is, will this exclusive agreement prevent me from using other realtors on other properties while I am in the process of evaluating and placing offers on the original two homes?

I didn't want to ask the agent and sound like an idiot and reduce my credibility with them.

Hi Ryan,

I was hoping that I could shoot you an email regarding a few things, but did not see it available. Mine should be available on my profile. If you get this I would appreciate a shout.
