I think that reason is access to MLS. When was the last time you bought a house by looking at craigslist? If individuals were allowed to list on MLS with standard criteria, then the need for r/e would be slim.

An agent is a convenience pretty much - get them to do the leg work of booking appts, showing appts, n for that someone has to pay.
