NAR broke news today on settling the case with the DOJ on IDX concerns and how listings from multiple listing services are displayed on brokers' virtual office Web sites. Now we can get down to business without having to worry about that. Oh! you weren't worried? This validates NAR's long-standing Internet data exchange (IDX) policy and strengthens the membership rules governing multiple listing services. We are at a cross-road where to much information is being thrown around the Internet without certain guidelines to protect the Broker and sellers. In addition to this settlement, I can see where the bleeding of $$$$ will stop, until the next bright committee comes along with their idea on how NAR should govern itself. It appears we have done fine for 100 years now. Maybe their going to move on over to the mortgage end of things, what do you think?
