Having said that if you have an agent that really will put you first and will work for you then it is only right they get the commission.When I did it the agents, especially the successful ones, would primarily show their own listings first, and sometimes exclusively if they had lots of listings as virtually all successful agents do, then their office listings next (higher agent/broker split), and would lastly show MLS listings.I wouldn't take much comfort interpreting laws that protect you when you are conducting business.
