mls: Buying and Selling at the Right Price - Principle of Supply and Demand - 10/22/10 07:22 AM
WORKING WITH AN ALERT HARD WORKING REALTOR IS THE KEY TO BEATING THE CROWD!
A great article by Valerie that points to the value of working WITH a hard working REALTOR. 
I know from experience that I've sold homes because I was alert and saw new listings within minutes of it "hitting the MLS". 
"THE EARLY BIRD??"  You bet.

mls: MEMO TO: Jonathan Washburn. RE: Redfin and the MLS - 02/29/08 12:31 AM
Jonathan Darlin'.  You're listening to noise.  Folks who contribute comments to Redfin.com are not likely to be great admirers of traditional real estate agents or brokers.  Giving any credence to contributors to Redfin groups is like asking the NYTimes to investigate the Bush Presidency and expecting a positive editorial . 
What they want is for traditional agents and brokers to subsidize our competition by giving them and the public free and unfettered access to the MLS.  You know, that fabulous collection of data that gives the country information about homes for sale.  Redfin wants free access.  The public want free access.  The DOJ … (149 comments)

mls: EXAMINING THE DOJ vs. NAR, A CONTRARY VIEW - 07/15/07 07:41 AM
In an article this morning addressing the DOJ suit against the NAR, a thoughtful Active Rain member proposes that the NAR through the membership, should change the focus from that of protecting Realtors to protecting "the interest of customers we are supposed to serve."  In his post, he proposes:
        "Some of you will say that the most important role of NAR is to protect Realtor needs and         that they act as our union. The problem with protecting realtors is that by     doing that NAR         crossed at certain point a very important line. It did it when it started protecting our own interest         more … (33 comments)
