I had a listing agent that refused to pass my offer onto the buyer because it wasn't on the local Realtor organization's standard purchase agreement form, despite state (Oregon) law requiring that they do so.
Use of the standard form (https://orforms.org/forms/ https://orforms.org/forms/) requires purchasing a license to the form, and licenses are only sold to licensed real estate agents and lawyers. I ended up buying the license to the form and a license for software required to fill out the form. (The website selling licenses didn't actually validate that you entered a valid state license id.)
It cost me a couple hundred bucks, but the seller accepted my offer. I doubt that the seller's agent gave the seller back the 2.5-3% that didn't have to be paid to a buyer's agent.
