If I read you right, Michael, this would indicate that folks who use on-line buyer's agency agreements, require folks to "sign in" in order to be able to access an MLS system ? and thereby acquire a lead. From what I have researched on the sign-in-required sites, it almost seems like the public often will move along to another site where they can maintain their anonymity until such time as they feel comfortable with an agent/site; sort of a preliminary get-to-know-you philosophy before committing to one particular site/agency and yet still being able to do their own research of a particular market.
Keeping the lines of communication open is, in large part, the secret weapon of having a successful web site. Sadly not all Realtors are good "communicators" - with or without the Net, and those folks must find it very difficult to "make a web site work", regardless of the web site's exposure in any given market arena.
