I'm all for better tools, from what I gather from talking to other Realtors across the country my MLS is rather limited in the tools it provides, but won't this devalue one of the biggest things we local Realtors have to offer, which is access? Was NAR truly thinking in my best interests when they developed this?

The crowd was in shock and overall sounded angry. NAR never did answer any questions with a yes or no but side-stepped most of them.

When asked about selling the mls data to third party companies, other than the crunched data value to Fannie, Freddie, and wall street, they only said it was not in their plan at this time. I like the idea of this but not the way they have handled it and afraid that it will kill our MLS and hurt us as agents and brokers when it comes time to writing offers, BPO's, even listing a home at current market value.<br><br>I guess we will have to wait and see if it survives the next couple of months.
