It is a re-enactment of the failed real tor.com try. He would control the in and out of data, the add-ons, the costs to agents, etc. As an active real estate broker (capegroup.com) I created a place where agents can get themselves found - for free called reindex.com.

We don't need them to control a national MLS too and have to pay them to get an IDX feed from them! NAR has enough controls over it’s members!

"When I think of the NAR I see a dinosaur trying to justify it’s place in the ecosystem. Realtors, why do you need them?" This quote says it all. If the NAR were really on the cutting edge, where they should have been all along, it would be a viable and valuable contributor. Tom,

That may be a countervailing force in NAR's monopoly grab. Realogy has 30% of all the listings across the five brands. That may be a countervailing force in NAR’s monopoly grab.

The difference is that a standard all can use and folks can create new and dynamic benefits for all who use it. If there is a monopoly then empire building and restrictions will be the dominant mentality. Bryn

Right now I get all the sold and withdrawn information from my local MLS, but I can’t support another Website for other parts of my state (Hawaii) because each MLS is so different. If NAR had one MLS with all the sold information and I could get it in one standardized format it would be wonderful!
