mls: Why? Does It Make Any Sense? - 10/12/07 11:52 PM
One of our local MLS rules states the following:
"Information in the Public Remarks shall only relate to the marketing, description and the condition of the property. DO NOT enter contact information, showing or selling instructions, names, phone or fax numbers, email addresses, website addresses, virtual tours, lockbox or other security codes."
I certainly understand why you want to keep lock box and other security information our of the public view. There is also a specific place for for the listing contact information, so it is good idea to keep it separate. But website addresses? What is wrong about that especially if it … (16 comments)

mls: NCREX and Quattro are here. Is it to little to late? - 09/13/07 03:13 AM
At the end of last year in my post “MLS in Turmoil” I wrote about rush to consolidation in the San Francisco Bay Area caused by enthusiastic reply of clients to services from Trulia and Zillow. Just this week one of the two efforts I mentioned then – NCREX – came to fruition.
I said at that time that:
“Within a few months, we will most likely be able to receive all real estate data in Northern California from 2 sources, NCREX and Quattro. Quattro is a new MLS data-sharing initiative among San Francisco Association of Realtors (SFAR), Bay Area Real … (0 comments)

mls: Can Zillow annihilate Realtors? - 07/12/07 06:03 AM
I have just read the post by Greg Swann, BloodhoundRealty.com Zillow.com to launch Realtor rating system Greg is a superb writer, so it doesn’t matter how bad news he might be writing about, you will enjoy Greg’s rhetoric more than your will fear its possible meaning. Yes, I don’t see Zillow to be conscious benefactor of Realtors, however I don’t believe that it is in Zillow’s, Trulia’s or Redfin’s power to damage Realtors in a long run. Only we can achieve this! But joking on the side – as I pointed out in my recent post
Who Started the Real Estate … (16 comments)

mls: One-stop shop in real estate - 07/01/07 01:46 AM
A client asked if there is a single MLS to search listings at, as she is trying to find a “one stop shop” in real estate.
Here is my reply:
There is no real "one-stop shop" in residential real estate. Realtor.com comes close but, even they don't have all data as some local MLS' opted not to display their data via Realtor. For your information, there are 900 MLS out there and until recently they didn’t see any advantage in sharing data. Your other option is to look to large brokers search engines, such as Coldwell Banker, Re-Max or Prudential. They … (6 comments)

mls: California: MLS in Turmoil - 12/18/06 12:52 AM
Arrival of new companies such as Zillow, Trulia and many others innovators put pressure on MLS to adapt. Known for stifling innovation through its bureaucracy MLS realize that if they don't change clients might choose alternative ways to list, sell and buy properties. Please check my posts MLS In Turmoil Public Access to SFAR MLS Goes Away MLS Turmoil Continues - Northwest MLS get rids of Realtor.com to read about reasons behind the turmoil and possible consequences.
