Many rising internet real estate database companies went bankrupt because NAR's constant attempt to undermine them. NAR has spent millions of dollars on lobbying congress to make other real estate database illegal. That's why consumers don't have any other choice but to use their propriety MLS system. Why are we letting this happen?

Other real estate databases are not illegal. However, as members of NAR, nearly all MLS's have chosen to make their agents' listings available through one central site, called Realtor.com.
Other websites are free to gather listings as they choose, as is evidenced by Yahoo! Real Estate.
And, for the dimwit who responded prior to me, I have been a real estate broker for ten years, and I hold a master's degree in business. Well over half of our agents (we have several hundred) hold college or other advanced degrees.

First of all why don't you go and get your facts straight. You are actually bordering on the edge of slander.
Yes the MLS does belong to NAR, very much the same as Excel belongs to Microsoft. Nar had an idea and spent their own money to develop a database system and as it turn out it is one that a lot of people want access to.
Idiots like you want to have free access to this without paying any fees to use it. You don't want to reap the profits---you want to rape the profits.
If you are so smart why don't you put up your money and develop a competing database. Until then shut up and pay up. Until then why don't you park your mouth in the fiction part of the library.pp

You can go to Realtor.com and get all the mls listings. I do not understand what you are complaining about. If you do not like the system, become a Realtor to access it.
And to parade, what does the education of Realtors have to do with his question? Your a moron
