The MLSes in the US are all under the Realtor group. The selling agent has to agree to pay the buyer agent's fee in order to list. This is one of the main points of the trial. Sellers cannot list a house in the most popular (only?) listing system without committing to the buyer's-agent fee.

At least there are seller and buyer agents. In Croatia it's one agent that is between buyer and the seller. What could go wrong, right? It's a scam.
