I’ve also noticed these sites now let real estate agents hide the price estimate on a listing. This is really anti consumer and I wonder what the point of these websites are if they just devolve into the same behavior as real estate before they existed.
- MattGaiser 10mo agoI imagine the problem is the same with all other free to the user platforms. The user won't pay, so their needs are subordinate to the actual customers.

- SilverElfin 10mo agoBut the agents are paid by the actual buyers and sellers. It’s just that they’re organized as a group. This is why the monopolistic control of listing services and realtor organizations is a problem.
