This is the thing. Remote work as an option helps everyone. Lower costs for the employer, happier employees, the people who do want to work in an office have a better time because it's less crowded, the people who need to care for kids or parents have an easier time...it's entirely a win for everyone.
Except real estate companies, and therein lies the problem.

It doesn't benefit them, though; they just prefer it.
There are tons of people who prefer it but don't actually get any benefit out of it.
How is work being more pleasant not a benefit?
I've never met an overbearing middle manager who was pleasant. Every single one, without fail, has been a complete grouch and terrible to be around.
Okay, I thought you were talking about the employees, not the manager.
