Cat got your tongue? I'll help you out with a link to a Windermere website. - windermerewhidbey.com Windermere claims the following market shares: 34%___Windermere 18%___John L. Scott 13%___Coldwell-Banker In your "neck of the woods" the largest three brokerage firms control 65% of the market. Very similar to Los Angeles. Your comment "I do not see the anti-trust issue prevalent in my neck of the woods" seems not terribly convincing in light of the facts as alleged by Windermere.
