” Mere postings allow REALTORS® to limit their involvement on a MLS® listing to a short and definable time frame. Essentially what a mere posting amounts to is a For Sale by Owner (FSBO) that appears in the MLS® System.
After the home is posted on MLS, the homeowner takes complete control of the selling process. Any cooperating buyer’s agents would call the home owner directly, rather than the listing agent, if they wanted to show the property to their buyer.

The amount of cooperation you receive from those REALTORS® will depend, in part, on the amount of buyer’s agent commission you offer.
