Wall Street Journal, and it says, and the date, so this way you could look it up if you wanna re-read the article.
And it says, "Companies take more offerings offline, sparking backlash from rivals who say the practice is impeding market transparency.
As cease and desist lawsuits have threatened the real estate industry's tearing itself apart over a question that homebuyers haven't had to ask in decades." When you search for a home, everyone, when you search for a home online, are you actually seeing every property that's for sale? For the better part of that answer, for decades, it usually has been the word yes.
Uh, but now that's starting to change because companies, uh, and which all of a lot of companies now, uh, I could name a whole bunch, is trying to tell people, which is a choice, and you've always had this choice.
In other words, you could take a listing that you put out to all the public, or you could take the listing that's private, where you just don't give it out to all the brokers.
And a lot of times when people were sick or, you know, they had maybe a sick person in their house or somebody was older or they just want a lot of traffic for some reason, we would take private listings.
But again, I wouldn't say that was much because the more exposure you have, the more chances you have to get the highest price.
The more potential buyers that look at your listing online, the greater the chance of selling it sooner than down the road.
Now, the whole private-- There's always a reason for some one-offs, a divorce, you don't want your kids to know, you're a celebrity, but that's not what we're talking about.
Consumer, listing your house, but having it in a private listing system first, so that hardly anyone can know that it's for sale.
What good is that for the seller, having limited access of buyers? There isn't any.
