Good video, but would have been a little better without the hand and arm movements. That being said, I agree with what you are saying and personally think that the only site that is accurate is the MLS....however, it will be hard for you to convey your statement to the general public who holds everything "on the web" as the best thing since sliced bread. Consumers will think (wrongly or rightly) that you are simply withdrawing your listings to get a bigger share of the pie. They don't have a clue about "cooperation" between diffrent agents and companies. THey just want to see their home everywhere. Your competitors will use your disappearance from the syndications against you. Hollywood has an expression....even bad publicity is good publicity. You might regret pulling out of what currently is in style. But, I give you credit for trying...and if you can get everyone to do it then maybe the game will change.
Great article and very true. Recently I came across a site, www.saddlebackleather.com and ended up buying a bag simply because I enjoyed the site. They put "fun" into buying their products...from videos that show an alligator trying to destroy (unsuccessfully, I might add) one of the bags to just a very well designed site. Why not put some fun into the real estate experience? Wish I knew more about building sites and WordPress 'cause I know I am a fun person. Maybe my goal this year is to explore that very option.
My understanding is that we are allowed to talk to appraisers...they are just not allowed to talk to lender.
