If you don’t follow Bob Bemis and his website Procurring-Cause, you should. Take a few minutes and read Bob’s latest post and comment. Bob is a leader and this discussion needs to happen now, not sometime in the future.
I wrote about some of this last fall in my contribution to Swanepoel’s Trends 2014.
From Bob’s post today,
- The infrastructure of MLS/AORs has not changed in 30 years and it needs to. The technology is so 80’s.
- There are too many MLSs; they overlap and they cost brokers too much to join.Overlapping Market Disorder is alive and thriving and must be exterminated.
- There are too many CEOs running these too many MLSs and we need to “transition them” to something else. One national MLS would be ideal, but a dozen or so strong regionals would be a very good interim step.
- The national public website of the Realtor organizations should be controlled by NAR.
Please read Bob Bemis’ post and comment.
