Should I agree to a private exclusive if a Sullivan's Island brokerage offers me one?

A private exclusive keeps a Sullivan's Island listing off the open MLS and limits it to a brokerage's own buyer pool, which can suit a seller who wants discretion but usually narrows competition and the price it produces. Comparing that private pool against full MLS exposure before agreeing is worth doing on any island where inventory already moves fast. Brian Beatty can show sellers what broader marketing would likely bring before they sign away that reach.
