Why would a Realtor NOT list a house or commercial property on a real estate board?

Either because the owner wants it or a real estate broker or salesperson needs or wants it in order to explore business opportunities which ultimately benefits the public because more choices of real estate become available as possibilities for them, more solutions for owners and buyers can be explored depending on the situations.
There are many reasons why a Realtor either can NOT get a signed listing or has a signed listing but it is NOT to go on a real estate board service at this time. Perhaps later in some cases.
In many cases, an owner says, “bring me in a buyer and I will pay you a commission but I do not want to give you a listing at this time.”
- There is a way to work this real estate opportunity with verbal permission from the owner, on ICIWorld but without an address, in order to find a qualified buyer, and then once a buyer is interested, put an agreement in place to show it, and then get an offer and sell it.

This following article provides feedback from other Realtors as well for reasons why some properties are for sale but not on a real estate board at this time.
ICIWorld has 30,000+ properties and buyers, 75% not on real estate boards. However, brokers also advertise their listings. In one sense it is similar to how you advertise in a newspaper but without a cost, once you are a member.
ICIWorld is a society of real estate brokers and salespeople, networking exclusive commercial and residential real estate Haves and Wants, advertising listings, on a searchable Internet database 24/7, available to search from mobile devices as https://iciworld.mobi (set it as a shortcut) and/or install the ICIWorld App for iPhones and Androids, and on computers at www.iciworld.com, to people from 138 countries of the world, operating since 1994 as ICIWorld.com
We believe the highest and best price and terms for real estate for sale can be achieved by advertising a property on all the competent industry-wide services available today where possible. That includes real estate board services and ICIWorld and other industry services.
There are however reasons why Realtors do not or can not place information on a real estate board.
