Our Listings and Zillow

This morning you received correspondence from CBOR regarding our listings being displayed on Zillow.  The CBOR/MLS are working very hard on an agreement to make sure our listings are protected by way of our board feed.  While it is true the Listhub agreement will expire on April 7th and our listings may stop being delivered to Zillow via the MLS, our RE/MAX agreement will continue to send our listings to Zillow.

 

Please remember – any conversation of making collective our group decisions regarding our data distribution with other companies/competitors could be deemed an anti-trust violation and may subject you or this company to investigation or reprimand. 

 

I support and am very appreciative of all of the work the CBOR/MLS committee are doing to negotiate a good agreement with Zillow.  I believe that they are working towards an arrangement that could be one of the best agreements in the country.  However in the meantime, I also believe that our customers will expect our listings to remain on the top real estate site.  Our arrangement with RE/MAX affords us a competitive advantage that other offices may not have.

 

As always our goal will be to have the best market presence to service our customers so that you can create and service real estate needs for life. 

You will see lots of conversation regarding this topic on the news and in social media streams next week.  If you have any questions or would like more information, please let me know. 

 

Have a great holiday weekend!
