Useful for most...probably not. But if it's useful for somebody out there than why not have it as an option. Can't see it being too much of a big deal for them to implement.

For one thing real estate companies do not buy or sell real estate. Real estate is sold by independent contractors with real estate licenses. Home buyers should look for the best home with the best price. How does it serve the consumer to be able to look up homes by real estate company?

Buyers do want be sure that they are getting a good deal on their future house, and they want to know what else might be out there. So, selection is more important than the brand.

But watch out everyone, here they come! And I'm sure they're gonna go big. I do agree with Tom that users do not want to see sub-sets of houses when researching their market. They're gonna wanna see everything. Lucky for us here in the Hawaii real estate market, Google was not able to secure the MLS info for the islands of Maui and Oahu. I hope it stays that way because that give us a leg up on them. Google is still in development with the real estate side of things. But watch out everyone, here they come!

Brokerages are pretty protective of "their" listings and they want recognition and traffic in exchange for sharing them. Brokers are the key to getting tons of listings - it is much harder to gather listings agent by agent.

They want to see all of them, which is why I believe that those sites which offer all of the listings (see Realtor.com) continue to hold their own despite a lack of many of the more innovative tools offered by Zillow and others. Also, unlike buying something like groceries, where you may go to a certain store despite slightly higher cost based on the service, cleanliness, etc. this is a home purchase. In my humble opinion, getting the right product at the best price is way too important to be overshadowed by brokerage preference.

Who to say that the traffic should go to the brokerages website over the agents website. That will be an interesting factor in the future. Some brokerages seem to be trying to drive traffic to their site, instead of their agents site, which seems a little off to me. We'll have to wait to see where this ends up. This will definitely be a big issue in the future. Back Tie Todd is exactly right. Who to say that the traffic should go to the brokerages website over the agents website.
