It's not that the agent doesn't want the "buyer" to go and negotiate with the vendor directly, the agent wants to know what the buyer is looking for so they can find a property that best fits their needs (if they are a good agent that is - if they are a bad one they'll push the buyer into something that they don't really want) - which they can't do until they have had some form of contact with them.

I've tried not to ramble on here as there a lot of subtleties, but I could write more if any one is interested in real estate theory (for want of a better name)

I thought that agent will ask the seller to sign an excluse contract to
protect their interest. Is that right?

people are likely to just drive by instead and the agent misses out on
the point of contact.

EXACTLY what house-hunters want!! But it terrifies agents. I think it
simply wastes everyone's time having to talk to agent when you can
discount on a drive-by.
