MLS is a service company, and Realtors are a trademark group.
Perhaps they have what some might call monopoly on the market.
Technically, you can list your property without MLS or without using a trademarked 'Realtor'. There are other agents that aren't 'Realtor'.
It's like complaining that Google isn't listing your ads for free.
Just like Google owns search, so you have to pay them to get listed.
