Certainly the seller's agent holds an open house to sell the house, but the purpose of the buyers agent is to represent the buyer, not the seller.

I'd say it's a bit tacky for the sellers agent to openly tell his client about a better deal while still at the open house, but if I were a buyer I wouldn't have a problem with it. For sure the buyer would want to know the comparable prices of other houses if only to negotiate a better price on your neighbors house.

But I don't understand why a VLS agent would take a client to an MLS listing? I'm sure there was a good reason but, as you said, there was nothing in it for the VLS agent.
