Not saying you're wrong in anything you've stated, but if there are many independent MLS's and it's easy and cheap to set them up, that undermines the whole antitrust argument against the NAR, doesn't it?
If alternate MLS's are easy and cheap to set up and run, and they can provide a much more attractive value proposition than NAR-aligned MLS's, wouldn't the NAR MLS's have been pushed out of existence long ago?
- yencabulator 3y agoJust running a listing service doesn't mean the local realtors give you listings, that's why the Zillows etc needed to get access to the MLSes that they do use. Getting access equal to other brokers in the area, even if they weren't part of the good ol' boys network, was exactly why there needed to be an accusation of anti-competitive practices. Actually running an MLS is simple.
