An April 2025 study By BRIGHT RESEARCH of over six months of data on over 100,000 home sales in their service area found NO benefits to sellers whose brokers used office exclusive listings.

The report states that "Office exclusives take longer to sell and offer no price advantages over immediately promoting a home through the MLS. Meanwhile, the marketplace data strongly suggests that an increase of office exclusive listings has the potential to harm prospective buyers and sellers by limiting access to information and creating a fragmented inventory system."
