To claim commission I suppose.

  They have a non-exclusive deal with the owner?

    There are properties that get listed by an agency and it's totally free game for who sells it. I've had a realtor tell me that I should "use her exclusively" because she would get me better deals. Don't do that, it's incredibly stupid.

    In some countries realtors can claim that because you contacted them first about the property, that they get the comission on the property regardless if you continued to use their services or not. I guess this is to avoid situation where realtor connects the buyer with the seller only for them to decide to cut the realtor out and sell without the comission. This gives a big incentive to realtor to hide the location so you cannot contact the seller yourself, and they usually ask you to sign documents where you agree to this practice before they take you to see the property.
