I've definitely seen listings where that is indicated so if someone says that in their listing, then they should follow it. If they don't say it explicitly, why should they have to drop everyone else just to contact someone else?

If someone says I'll take it at your price, WHY would you continue to negotiate with someone ELSE hoping that they eventually get to the place you are already at? This is not making any sense to me. The only issue is should Cody have given Jonathan more time before looking elsewhere, and I say yes. This isn't complicated -- the answer to that question is either yes or no, depending on your POV. Or, if you think contract law is the only relevant consideration, then fine, Cody was free to do whatever he wanted.
