Since we have the KWLS, we have more control over our listings than most. That being said, when other franchises pull our listings, it does come from our local MLS, not the KWLS. Trulia, Zillow, etc pull from the KWLS so the agent gets all their leads which is great.
Bottom line for me centers around 2 things.
1) I just want the home to sell, and as long as other websites are giving me and/or my office credit for the listing I appreciate that they're advertising it.
2) Nobody looks at franchise sites anymore. Other than ReMax.com, no franchise site that I'm aware of is even in the same ball park as the 3rd party sites (Trulia, Realtor, etc).

I want my listing everywhere in the world. What a great opportunity to sell homes. Just think of the mathematical odds of selling a home goes up too?
