Just did a Realtor.com search for New York City....found 1,001 home-sale listings by many different brokerage firms and prices ranging from very low to $13.5 million. If the brokers in New York are making their properties available for everyone to see on the internet, they must also have a local MLS system whose member-brokers cooperate with each other to show and sell homes--same as in most other areas of the U.S. Doesn't this enable a buyer to browse for available listings on the internet, then contact one brokerage firm and ask to see listings of not just that broker but other brokers, too? If so, I'm not sure what you mean about "controlling the listings." It's a matter of law that property offered for sale on behalf of an owner has to be sold by a licensed broker. Are you saying you don't like this law and don't want to work with licensed brokers to shop for homes? Please define what you mean by "controlling" and what you think needs to be done to change this?
