I am not certain what you mean by "richer real estate marketing plans".

Here in Westchester County they say that the MLS is a cooperation between brokers and for the most part compensation is paid to buyer's brokers, not a problem, completely different mindset. Years ago when buyers brokerage came and the listing was not on MLS, but "Exclusive" by law we could just call the sellers up (believe I still have the letter from the Department of State about this. Also when they say exclusive - they are referring to the Exclusive Right or Exclusive Agency listings that sellers sign and deliberately confusing the pubic.

Appalling, really, but it's still happening here. I'm tired of explaining the games! :) They would likely accept an offer with the buyer paying commission, but the mls indicates no buyer agency commission- how ridiculous is this for sellers?

Buyers in the Long Island area should have the option (Options Realty, of course) of a buyers agent and should expect to be able to see every home available. Will these agents who offer Exclusive properties accept an offer from you with your buyer paying your commission or do they just not show them?
