The brokerage industry spent decades building a transparent MLS system based on the belief that more exposure leads to higher sales prices. This is a principle we uphold at Nourmand & Associates, where our clients always come first. While international markets strive to adopt this consumer-friendly model, some large corporations are moving in the opposite direction. Their deliberate strategy is to delay listing properties publicly to maximize profits by representing both sides of the transaction before the market has full access. Why revert to an antiquated, fragmented system that puts Wall Street ahead of consumers?
