REBNY is, in fact, a competing board to the Manhattan Board of Realtors, which are Realtors (members of NAR) and use the MLS. The REBNY Listing System (RLS) is a competing listing system to the MLS and currently has no public portal, like the MLS uses Realtor.com. Interestingly enough, approximtely only 10% of the listings in Manhattan are on Realtor.com, the largest portal of real estate in the world (do a serach yourself and see) This Trulia deal doesn't appear to change that. It is most likely intended to create ANOTHER competing public portal for REBNY members listings only. The same is true for Hamptons real estate. The large firms in the Hamptons and Manhattan have resisted MLS and NAR membership over the years because they believe their real estate is so specialized, that the traditional associations and listing systems don't serve them. And, oh by the way, that also means that they don't have to make their listings available to anyone outside of their markets to show - you know, those nasty "bridge and tunnel" brokers for Manhattan and those horrid "up-island" brokers with "the hair, the gum, and the nails" for the fabulous Hamptons (pronounced "Humptons"). It's actually signifigantly more complicated that it appears and most certainly unfathomable to outsiders. What's the opposite of Transparency? Pathological Control?

Once they're done with NYC, what's stopping them from doing it in other markets as well? Same problems, same inventory type. The only barriers will be the MLS boards. Good job Trulia!
