It doesn't matter if a brokerage website is exclusive. Healthy competition between, say, 3 main ones means people looking for apartments will check those 3.
Kind of like people looking for used textbooks will check eBay, Alibris, and Chegg.
Of course there will be concentration, that doesn't mean it's going to be a monopoly. It's just going to be the usual 2 main competing companies with a 3rd slightly-different company -- your Coke, Pepsi and RC, or your AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. It's the usual market pattern.
