Of course, Tradelite, you are always right. Why, then, has the NAR fought to keep the network proprietary? Why does a person need to be a realtor to access it (don't say for legal reasons because realtors can't act as lawyers, even though they over-step at time doing so)? If that is not the "crux" of anything, why not allow anyone to place properties for sale on it? Give me the ability to list properties on the MLS, access the properties on the MLS, and a lawyer, and I think I would do just fine without a realtor. Heck, people do just fine without one anyway, even without access to the network. What could be a better business than to have almost complete control to "list" inventory on the market? That is what I call an economic barrier to entry and, most surely, the crux of the business advantage that realtors/brokers enjoy.
