Welcome!
We have been online for 10 years and for 10 years it has produced buyers! In the last couple of years we have seen a few VERY savvy sellers contact us . Print seems to attract sellers while the Internet has become the tool of choice for buyers. I keep waiting for sellers to put it together and go where the buyers are. I hope it doesn't take another 10 years! Joe Boylan http://www.SpringsHomes.com
I think MLS’s opened the door to this sort of conflict by allowing limited service licensees to use their systems to post what are for all intents and purposes “For Sale By Owner” Offerings. These are situations where the Buyer Agent already deals with the seller for showings and feedback. I think it’s weak to step up at this point and attempt to draw the line at presenting offers.This is what they mean when they say “Slippery Slope”. Buyer Agents presenting offers to a seller is the organic extension of the limited service market place. The real issue here is “For Sale By Owner” offerings requiring a licensee to get into the MLS.

I'm usually a big fan of private enterprise providing solutions. In this case I'm not so sure. As I understand it, privatization created this mess. Joe Boylan http://www.SpringsHomes.com
