This is the problem where your value proposition is price. There is always someone who thinks they are worth less than you are. It will be a battle until finally somone says — “I am worth Nothing! Just let me make a fee off the loan.”
Our industry is changing — so this will all be very interesting to watch.

I live in the Detroit area and there is a company by the name of Reozom that is doing pretty much the same thing as BuySide is. We listed our house through them and have gotten a few calls already. They don’t charge a fee to place your property on the MLS and Realtor.com either. They do make you order title insurance through LandAmerica Title if you want your property to appear on the MLS and Realtor.com. At least here in Michigan it wasn’t an issue for us because title insurance rates are regulated by the state any how. As Dena Davis said maybe there just trying to make a fee off the loan, but is this case the title insurance. One other reason we didn’t mind ordering title insurance through them is because every title insurance company we called, including LandAmerica wanted an upfront fee. When we ordered through Reozom they waived the fee.

You got to love the ability to sort the database on redfin. The buyside site is so limited in what listings it displays. Example only 19 listings in Tampa, FL on October 24, 2008. The typical search result on buyside is
“Your search returned no results. Please broaden your search criteria.”
