I truthfully believe that agents who guard their listings hurt themselves. The market is moving toward a free information and MLS access for the general public. It is the Realtor who loses out, and even as a Realtor myself I am not shedding a tear. I really think we will not recognize this industry in less than 5 years.

[...] What ARES really brings to the table is that it has already done the grueling legwork of bridging all the various IDX feeds from different MLS systems into a unified data stream. Realtor.com Loses Northwest MLSFrom the Seattle PI, the Northwest Multiple Listing Service dumps Realtor.com The Northwest Multiple Listing Service will stop sending its home listings to the nation’s most popular real estate Web site in April.

I may be wrong but I don’t think the NAR gets paid by Move, Inc.(formerly Homestore) the publicly traded company that runs Realtor.com. It may have been a good move on the part of the NAR to let Move, Inc. run Realtor.com in the days when it costs millions to run a website but I think the NAR should now take a serious look at running its own website and reaping the revenue benefits. Move, Inc. is valued at almost 900-million dollars.. I wonder if it would be worth anything without the content provided by Realtors.

If I am not mistaken, you as an agent can manually put your listings into realtor.com. The Northwest MLS has chosen not to automatically send the listings to realtor.com. And obviously the agents with a say so in the Northwest have no problem with doing that if they choose to.
