I don't love the fact that they don't share their commission with a buyer's agent, so you either have to trust them not to screw you, or you have to pay your own agent out of your own pocket. Having said that, I have never heard anyone complain about the net result of using a VLS agent.
MLS splits commissions between the buyer’s agent and sellers agent unless you just used the sellers agent for the transaction.
