It would be very redundant for me to keep responding with the same comments I have responded to from earlier posts on your site regarding this topic, so I’ll provide a link that will debunk and hopefully clear up a few myths and rumors for everyone out there.

Take a look at these articles, they share a more detailed response to many of the items and concerns addressed in your post. Here you’ll find:

*The Importance of Strategic Distribution
*How Zillow Works With Listing Agents
*Should Your Listings be on the Most-Searched Sites?
*Howard Hanna Teams Up in Marketing Partnership
*Bob Bemis Joins Zillow as VP of Partner Relations

Real estate brokers and their agents are forced to join their local board, or they are not allowed to utilize the local MLS service, even though they are licensed by their state. Thus agents are forced to pay high membership dues to the national trade association or they cannot work. Then that same trade association builds sites like realtor.com and charges agents another high fee to advertise on the site. And agents often spend lots of personal funds to advertise client properties via photos and video, plus their time and efforts in getting the listing. There is no question that listing aggregators have been getting a free ride at the expense of agents and brokers. While national exposure would be a benefit for brokers and agents, the way it is being done now is simply taking advantage of the hard work and legal exposure that the brokers and agents have to deal with.
