This model encourages knowledge sharing rather than hoarding trade secrets, contrasting with the typical independent contractor setting where scarcity prevails."
"Wells expressed skepticism about the benefits of keeping listings entirely off the open market, stating, 'I do not think you can convince me [that] a world that having listings be solely private is of benefit to sellers.' He believes maximum exposure yields the best results for sellers."
