Even one time I had setup an appointment online to contact his team if I had a question.

That addendum also has provisions that allow the seller to do additional marketing on their own including their own yard sign, so I'm not sure what the fuss was about there - though I can tell you if you put a FSBO sign in your front yard agents driving by will blow your phone up trying to get a listing appointment with you and that's a whole other conversation.

Secondly, I've spoken with several MLS's and it's as simply as listing agents will need to post their coop buyer's agent commission in private remarks inside the MLS (won't be illegal and not available to the general public), in any associated disclosures attached to the listing itself or in a message received by agent when making an appointment like in Showingtime
