Default MLS vs VLS agent

We have purchased both of our properties from VLS agents. When we purchased our current home we worked with both. The MLS agent had limited properties to work with compared to the VLS agent. We had some specific had to haves that made locating a property much more difficult for the MLS agent. We have had great experiences with the VLS agents. All of the new construction gives them a broader market to work from. It has been our experience that our VLS agent was absolutely working on our behalf. They will tell you openly when buying a preowned home they are essentially working for the seller. (this was described as don’t tell me you will pay a higher amount when making an offer, if the seller asks I am obligated to share that info)...This being said the agent was open about this fact. But we still felt they took great care of us. We have purchased preowned and new. If you desire a new home VLS is the only option.
