Note 2: The listing broker may, from time to time, adjust the compensation offered to other Multiple Listing Service Participants for their services with respect to any listing by advance
It is necessary to specify the compensation on each listing because the cooperating broker has the right to know what his compensation should be before he attempts to sell.*. This does not prevent the listing broker from offering any MLS participant compensation in addition to the compensation specified on a listing published by the MLS, provided that the listing broker informs the other broker in writing prior to making an offer to purchase, and provided that the change in the specified compensation is not the result of any agreement between all or other participants in the Service.

The listing broker reserves the right to determine the amount of compensation offered to other participants (acting as sub-agents, purchasing agents or in other agency or non-agency capacities defined by law) which may be the same or different. Any substitute offer of compensation must be expressed either as a percentage of the gross sales price or as a flat dollar amount.
Multiple Listing Services, at their discretion, may adopt rules and procedures enabling listing brokers to communicate to potential cooperating brokers that gross commissions established

In such cases, the fact that the gross commission is subject to court approval and any reduction in compensation payable to participating brokers, or the method by which any reduction in compensation will be calculated, must be clearly communicated to potential participating brokers before they submit an offer, which ultimately leads to a successful transaction.
Multiple listing services must give participants the ability to disclose to other participants any potential for a short sale. As used in these rules, short sales are defined as a transaction where
