Economic Advantage: Seller listings, as cost of sale, are less expensive to obtain than buyer listings and sales.

Lead Generation Advantage: Properly marketing seller listings not only begets a 2 for 1 (1 seller = 1 buyer) but also begets more seller listings.

You should be commended, I think maybe some of the best points are that if you\'re taking a listing as representing the "Seller" your only job is to sell that list ASAP! It\'s not about control or about you, it\'s about your seller and getting the best offer accepted and SOLD!<br><br>I\'ve heard of many times, agents waiting for their office to present an offer from another agent in that office and for whatever reason accepting the lower offer to get the "double sided" transaction. Is that right? I mean, to argue about where your property gets syndicated to (in most cases for FREE) to sell your "Sellers" property is like complaining about getting an ad in the newspaper for free and being upset that the newspaper sold that issue for $1.50 at the newspaper stand. <br><br>To me as well, it is mind blowing that even one ounce of time was spent trying to justify this. Go tell your Seller you refuse to syndicate to maximize exposure and let us know how that works out!</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12487279" class="dsq-comment-message">The internet represents a marketing channel for listings.  You can either allow the proliferation of the listing across hundreds of sites (the major ones and the individual Realtor ones), or you can try to take some level of control over the listings and personally decide which it goes to and which it doesn\'t.  You can either have hundreds or thousands of eyeballs looking at the property across the local area and country or a few dozen (unless your own site generates steadier traffic).  <br><br>The efforts of Realtors that fight this process, against more web-oriented professionals, ignore a few aspects here.  First, the web is inevitable.  Second, this is about competition and again, marketing (the 4 Ps - price, product, PLACE, and PROMOTION).  Third, it\'s about finding your particular niche.  I know plenty of Realtors who are successful who have a Superlative website just as a placeholder with no other web activity.  You have to find your own way.  And fourth, reinforcing Jay\'s earlier point - being on the web and generating business takes a lot of work and energy.  It\'s a strategic business decision and not any different than a Realtor saying, "I want to work at developing relationships with xyz group of people as I believe I can create a niche for myself there."<br><br>Lastly, this is also about fiduciary.  It is in the client\'s fiduciary interest for the listing Realtor to broadcast/promote the listing to attract the buyer.  If the Realtor is more concerned for control of the listing at the expense of visibility to the property for the sake of that control and supposed lead generation, then the Realtor is putting themselves first and the client second.  It is in the client\'s best interest that more people be made aware of the listing to attract a prospective buyer.  <br><br>David Lorti</div>\

My contribution to this controversy is to not read any of the comments and protect myself from getting infuriated over those who disagree with you. In my world, an listing agent is hired to represent their seller. That means, sell their home. Not use it to show the world what they look like or how many dogs they own or love. Their job is to sell it, sell it fast and sell it for a good price. That means getting it seen everywhere. <br><br>Scrapping? What crap. What Google does is a gift that every single MLS should consider blessed by because it\'s an answer to their agent members prayers of free advertising. <br><br>MLS\'s better get it\'s priorities straight. Damn snappy too because one day, sellers are going to wake up and realize that if signing over the copyright of their home and their listing to an MLS who renders their agent bound up in a straight jacket of rules about how that home can be advertised, a revolt of some sort is bound to happen. And I am pretty sure that revolt is already afoot. <br><br>Well done Jay!<br><br>&lt;abbr&gt;<em></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;<em>Marc Davison&#180;s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/1000wattblog/~3/GGv7DO72tpU/the-susquehanna-real-estate-company.html" rel="nofollow">The Susquehanna Real Estate Company</a></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;</div>\

You need to take action. Writing comments is cool, don\'t get me wrong but your MLSs\' folks aren\'t going to change as a result of a 50 comments. <br><br>Do something real. Stage a List Out. For one week, every agent in America refrain from placing any listing they get into their MLS. Pocket it. Put it on Craigslist. Ignite it on Zillow. Blog it. And let the Google wind blow across your bow and sail that listing to their open seas. <br><br>Don\'t worry about your sellers. That\'s a situation you can handle. Their listing will still be promoted. Just not on the local MLS where their home is controlled in a way that hurts them. Explain that to them. Stand up for your client and yourselves and do something real to make a better industry.  <br><br>If this is too extreme, cool. Reign it in a bit.

Check this out:<br><br>“By focusing on seller listings, they put the two biggest advantages in the business to work for them:<br><br>1. Economic Advantage: Seller listings, as cost of sale, are less expensive to obtain than buyer listings and sales. At a cost of sale of around $100,000 vs $600,000 for the same volume of buyer sales, the Millionaire Real Estate Agent realizes a $5000,000 cost savings.”<br><br>2. Lead Generation Advantage: Properly marketing seller listings not only begets a 2 for 1 (1 seller = 1 buyer) but also begets more seller listings. Until a way is invented to effectively market buyers so sellers will contact us, marketing the seller has a huge leverage advantage for the real estate agent.<br><br>Millionaire Real Estate Agents are seller listing lead generators first, marketers of those seller listings second, and buyer listing lead generators third. Any other order and the odds of achieving millionaire sales numbers drop dramatically.”<br><br>Source: Gary Keller, founder of Keller Williams, “The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, Rellek Publishing Partners, LLC. 2003.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12487317" class="dsq-comment-message">My personal view is that every broker (with approval of their sellers) can advertise their listings wherever they want. Let\'s be realistic, ones fiduciary duty does not include spending oneself broke advertising which would likely be the result if purchasing non-Internet advertising "everywhere". The Internet is an unique advertising media. A listing on a single website/webpage can be found (subject to half decent SEO) by anyone, anywhere, with a computer and Internet access. And, yes it does require that search engines index information so their users can be directed to web pages.<br><br>Are 3PAs such as <a href="http://R.com" rel="nofollow">R.com</a>, Trulia, Zillow, and whatever follows next viable advertising? Yes, in the sense that they are well promoted and have high level SEO so they are positioned to compete favorably for page ranking and likely to be quickly found. It is also true, that if 3PAs disappeared tomorrow, buyers would still be searching the Internet and would wind up at the broker\'s or an IDX website/webpage.<br><br>It is not likely many brokers will soon follow broker Reddehase\'s courageous stance of not submitting his listings to 3PAs. But, if they did, brokers could eliminate the "middleman" position currently held by 3PAs who invited themselves to the real estate table and, in fairness, were naively welcomed. In the meantime, as long as brokers feed 3PAs their listing data, 3PAs will be at the table.</div>\

Isn’t… that… the… point???" is surely how sellers feel.  You are looking out for the best interest of your sellers, which makes you an outstanding Agent.  My husband and I are interested in selling some land and I turned down an Agent when he said he doesn\'t syndicate listings.  I heard the story "I put them in the mls and on <a href="http://Realtor.com" rel="nofollow">Realtor.com</a> and that works".  He didn\'t believe in syndicating.  I couldn\'t help myself to send him a detailed doument and stats of why he should be syndicating and of course with that document I informed him we wasn\'t the right Agent for us.</div>\

I went with a independent broker who shared the same ideas about the use of technology. I run my office from home, like I always did, I just quit paying for an expensive logo and a brick and mortar building.<br><br>My broker and I both have websites which rank well. We would have had them seperately, but I wanted a broker who knew what he was doing; one who wouldn\'t tell me I can\'t blog or have a better website than him. <br><br>A jealous  "independent" broker decides he doesn\'t like it and reports me, and MIBOR takes the position which has led to where we are today. My previous broker would not have known what I was talking about and would have probably told me to do what MIBOR told me to, without a fight. There are a bunch of "good ole boys" who do not want change, so the rest of us have to move forward and carve a path for the future we want to see.  <br><br><blockquote>I’d love to see and read about an agent who decided that instead of using their time to type the words “great post Jay” drafted a petition that gets sent around real estate collecting of signatures of agents who demand NAR change policy.</blockquote><br><br>You\'re right we need to take action and let NAR know how we feel.

But in an effort to help I am going to use what soap box I have (Twitter, et al) and bring attention to the petitions and this situation. <br><br>Marc<br><br>&lt;abbr&gt;<em></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;<em>Marc Davison&#180;s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/1000wattblog/~3/XopUyMllpYs/secrets-lies-real-estate-and-zappos.html" rel="nofollow">Secrets, lies, real estate and Zappos</a></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;</div>\

What would sellers think if they truly got their arms around this issue.  I have never once understood this hoarding mentality (at the sake of the sellers to boot) that some agents/brokers have.  Wake up people, Karma will get you and while the rest of the country progresses, you will be buried in your antiquated and selfish ideas.  The consumers of today and tomorrow are a far cry more sophisticated and savvy than those of yesteryear.  How will you justify your behavior when questioned by your seller?  How about getting "tech savvy" and marketing your own listings?  That is the answer, not hurting your seller\'s by being selfish and greedy!</div>\
