Not only that, but if your neighbor has a 800k house to sell, guess what house your agent is hiding from their clients so it can get a better commission.

I built a website for a realtor, and she specifically wanted that functionality.

It really pisses me off that in this day and age they think they can be "gatekeepers" of the information.

And they provide an extremely shitty service, they don't even take the care to take good photos of the property.

They've long lobbied for more regulation in my country and are extremely angry that most people are not using their services (I wonder why... :) ).

They did manage to make their services mandatory for state-owned mortgages :( .
