A purchase agreement between a buyer and a seller does not negate a member’s obligations to follow the MLS’ Rules and Regulations, which is an independent contract existing between the member listing broker and the MLS.
If a listing is in Coming Soon status and the seller accepts a curb offer in which the buyer asks to see the property, you must ‘End Coming Soon’ before showing the property or you are in violation of MLS Policy 1.05.04 – Showing a Listing During a No Showings Allowed Period.
