Compass Attals NWMLS claims as ‘misleading and self -service’
According to Compass, if NWMLS is ‘really cared for’ about companies that ‘free driving’, it would remove Zillow As a member of the MLS.
“After all, ZILLOW-A NWMLS-LID takes all NWMLS entries without recurring a single list to NWMLS. In fact, NWMLS can be considered by the same logic as the Ultimate Free-Rader: Brokerages give the inventory of the theme, and subsequently to the ones, and subsequently the ones who are invoicing, and then the Determans, and then the those who are invoicing, and the those who are invoicing, and then to the those who are invoicing, and then to the those who are invoicing, and the those who are inventory, and then to the third parties, and the those who are inventory, and then to the third-party Provide, “is the statement.
Compass claims that it “shares more entries with MLSS than any other brokerage in almost every large market.” The company said that this is true, even despite its three -phase marketing strategy, including mentions with the MLS and on the market as office exclusives during the first phase.
Compass added that the co-brokers with agents at all companies and that agents at other companies trust these offers to get their buyers the desired real estate.
“The NWMLS also accuses any other brokerage that depends on these shared entries of being ‘free-riders’?” “Their logic just doesn’t stand.”
The company also deals with the claims of NWMLS that the office destroys exclusion “destroying competition” and “damage to consumers”, claim that the evidence shows differently.
“For more than 50 years, office Exclusives have been used by tens of thousands of homeowners every year in 49 of the 50 states in this country, and all those real estate markets remain healthy and flower without any evidence that competition has been destroyed,” Compass wrote in its statement.
Moreover, Compass claims that a brokerage established in Washington has a major influence on NWMLS. The company occupies six board seats on the MLS, which compass claims to “serve its own interests disproportionately.”
The Kompas company refers to IS Windermere real estateWhat is not a brokerage, but a franchisor who offers licenses to private individuals and groups to operate under the Windermere brand. So while managers of six Windermere companies are on the NWMLS board, they represent six different brokers.
Although Kompas Windermere did not mention in a lawsuit, Reffkin and Windermere Co-President Ob Jacobi Instagram At the end of March on the NWMLS notification policy.
Anyway, Compass said that this shows that NWMLS does not give “to guarantee honesty.”
Although the rules of NWMLS do not allow office exclusions, Compass claims that the MLS cannot save it or a broker is holding back entries as long as they are advertised online, with the argument that “NWMLs just wants a digital monopoly.”
“NWMLS does not protect consumers, they protect their own strength and business model,” is the explanation. “Compass competes by enabling homeowners to choose how they want to put their home on the market and sell. NWMLS doesn’t care what homeowners want; it uses his immense power as a monopoly to dictate what homeowners should do. No amount of talking about ‘fairness’ or ‘freedom’ can disguise that fundamental truth.”
In April submitted to the American court in Seattle, the court case of Compass claims that NWMLS is a monopoly and that the listing policy is damaging the competition and has a negative influence on compass by not allowing exclusive or private exclusive offers from the office.
Compass also claims that this harms buyers and sellers of Huizen, because the policy prevents Compass from not using its three -phase marketing plan.
NWMLS is not affiliated with broker, so it does not have to follow an MLS policy that is set out by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), whose clear cooperation policy (CCP) makes office exclusions possible.
