so what, right?
So coachk's family home was sold upon her mom's passing to a carpenter / flipper. He renovated the house, not finished, but put it up for sale prematurely. Coachk's niece saw the advertisement on realtor .com and singed up for a viewing.
now the interesting part:
Realtor.com assigned her a buyers agent and she showed up, pushing mortgages from local companies. .
So now I am wondering, are the technology bros who filed the MLS fixed commission lawsuit trying to alter the system from selling agents to buying agents? Which would be home owners advertising on the tech site, no agent needed, just pictures and a price, and the on line platforms assigning buyers agents to finish the deal??
Reads like a whole lot of spaghetti for the technologists to get some sort of commission out of the real estate market using their platforms instead of the MLS platforms. . . trying to legitimize the new platforms through the courts to break the MLS monopoly
any other perspectives??

Nothing new. When you sign up for a viewing you know you're being assigned an agent - after filling in your info you must click on a large button "EMAIL AGENT" button.
