Agency
When an Alaska buyer's agent shows the buyer a property that is not in the MLS (a 'pocket listing'), the agent should:
AAvoid showing off-MLS properties since it violates MLS rules
BShow the property but ensure the buyer understands they are seeing a limited market view✓ Correct
COnly show the property if the listing broker also represents the seller directly
DRefuse to show pocket listings as a matter of professional standards
Explanation
Showing pocket listings is not inherently improper, but the buyer's agent should make sure the buyer understands they are working with limited market exposure. The buyer may want to also see MLS properties to ensure they are making an informed decision with full market knowledge.
