As a member of a local Realtors® association, Broker Mel is generally obligated to place all her listings on the MLS. On one recent occasion, she did not. Evaluate the following scenarios and select the one that provides a justifiable reason for Mel's actions. Mel's client lives in a high-traffic area where a yard sign will bring in all the buyer prospects they could hope for, so an MLS listing is unnecessary. Mel's seller-client is a professional athlete who wants to keep his transaction very private and has asked that his property not be put on the MLS. Mel's client has an immaculate home that will sell easily and fast without being published on the MLS. Mel's client is on a very tight budget and is not willing to pay much in the way of commission on the sale of their home.
