I am working with a real-estate agent to find a house to buy. We recently found a house on our own thru Zillow and called the listing agent for a showing. We did this without our current agent. At the showing, I told the listing agent that I was working with my own agent and wanted to include her in any further actions. He told me since I called him on my own my current agent is out of the picture. I disagree and need a ruling on what is the proper protocol regarding this.
Try the real estate forum. Or you can send a Personal message lvmensh. He's a realtor from Vegas and pretty knowledgeable, should be able to answer your question or at least direct you to the source.
You call your current agent and have them show you the property. The listing agent is trying to go for procuring cause, but talk to your agent and let your agent handle that issue. Every state has some case law on procuring cause disputes, but one of the criteria is an unbroken chain of events that lead to the sale of a home.
Don't be bullied and use your own agent. Tell them what is going on and let them handle it.

I agree. The listing agent sounds like a real #$%@ anyway. Let your agent deal with it and be glad you don't have to deal the &#%$ yourself.
The second agent doesn't want to share their commission and is being an *** to discourage you from speaking with your current agent. Definitely not ethical to say something like that to you.
Did you sign a buyer's agent agreement or anything? I think the seller's agent is correct and he shouldn't split the commission.
This is bad advice.
In Oregon, this is a no-brainer and this listing agent is entitled to none of the buyer agent compensation. We have case law on it. I think most states do and showing a home is not procuring cause.
I am loving this, Agent against agent. Shows how fractured that whole business is.
