You must have a weird, archaic system up there in New York. All brokers in my area cooperate with each other to sell ALL listings. The days of "pocket" (secret, exclusive) listings were gone from my area many years ago. Every now and then, there will be a seller who WANTS his listing kept pretty quiet and shown on a limited basis, but this is a very tiny minority of paranoid, perhaps high-profile, people who have their reasons for doing this. Agents don't like to operate this way, but the client is always right and has the right to decide. It's certainly not the right way to always get the most money for your house. By the way, if that's the way New York wants to operate, no NAR rule in the world is going to change your system.
