R.I.P. M.L.S.

Share

mlsHow about making a national deal with Google to have a nationwide MLS with real estate agents who pay extra getting better positioning.  FSBO can place……mmmmm, I think this is the Google plan to begin with.

The listing of property will become a segmented, a la carte proposition over the next few years because of the Googles of the world that will just flatten our back woods MLSs.  Their futures may be worthless.

Google has the infastructure to do it themselves without the use of a 10 year old server with Active-X so that it can only be on Internet Explorer.

They will set the rules, the fees, the upgrades because they own the consumers.

Don’t waste your time complaining to your local MLS.  They will be dead soon.  Maybe you can recruit them to be agents…..second thought, nah!
