If you are looking at an MLS house (shown on Zillow), you can call the listing agent yourself or use an MLS agent that is working for you. If you go it alone, the listing agent will ultimately be your agent and can then tell anything you tell them to the sellers. Your MLS agent will get approx 1/2 of the commission on the sale of the house depending on the contract. If a VLS house, you need a VLS agent to make the appts and guide you as well. They too will get approx 1/2 the commission. We did just that when purchasing a preowned VLS home but also looked at MLS homes.
