Finding real estate agent -- how does it compare to US?

5 years ago

In the U.S. I can go to realtor.com or a myriad of websites, find property, and engage the seller's agent directly or use my own real estate agent. As the buyer I pay no commission.

How does this work in Italy?
Do all agents have access to a MLS type of service (can I access this for Rome?)

Who pays the commission and how is that split between buyer and sellers agent?

Do I just find a real estate agent that I like in Rome and engage that person to find me a property?

I spoke to some local agents and they seem to be showing me their own listings (or maybe they are just putting their logo and contact info on the listings). It is a little confusing for someone new to real estate in Italy
