Welcome!
Very interesting thread. How many times have you shopped for a new car without talking to some friends or listening to experts? A home purchase is an emotional, large, and today very, very complicated transaction. Experts need to stay involved. In my view, the new VOW regulations have simplified access to the information and to some degree given the consumer a secure feeling knowing their registration information is not being sold in Russia or China. Today, Listingbook (a VOW for over 8 years now)supports over 250,000 registered consumer accounts and the relationships they create with their real estate professional are long lasting. A registered VOW user is a serious buyer or seller. Like it or not- VOW is here to stay and everyone needs to understand that the consumer is in charge- so you might as well let them have the access in a way that is beneficial to both parties getting a deal done faster and better.
