I've been an Alabama Real Estate Broker for 40 years and this is true in most places I'm aware of. The seller of that property was certainly done a dis-service by the action of not being made aware of a possible offer to look at.
The broker/agent is obligated to present ALL offers. Good way to lose a license.
If you're buying, use a buyer's broker. They're obligated to look after YOUR interest, not the seller's.

2BNTV: your assumptions are correct.
