The feud between Robert Reffkin, Zillow is raging
He emphasized Homes.com” Broker.com” Redfin.com and compass.com As websites to visit to see all available housing stock. Redfin has announced a list of list standards that is comparable to that of Zillow’s, but the company will not start blocking non -conforming offers until September.
The Post from Reffkin comes three weeks before Zillow’s noting standards come into force. According to the policy, Zillow does not allow the government on the market for private entries that were not entered in the MLS within 24 hours of public marketing to appear on the site.
“Public lists must be introduced in the MLS within one working day and be published on Zillow and other sites that receive MLS Feeds, so it is visible to all buyers and participants in the market,” explained a blog post from Zillow.
“Lists that do not match these standards are not published on Zillow or Trulia For the life of the listing agreement between that listing broker and seller. “
Zillow is doing a phased rollout of the policy that starts in large American markets before he expands nationally in the summer. During the rollout, which started at the end of May, agents with lists that do not meet the standard reports about their mention.
From 30 June, as soon as an agent reaches three non -conforming offers, all following non -conforming entries will be blocked from Zillow and Trulia for the lifetime of the listing agreement between the framework agent and the seller.
Agents are informed by telephone and e -mail of non -conform offers.
As an avid supporter of the National Association of Realtors‘Clear cooperation policy and offering transparency, Zillow and his managers believe that this policy has the best interests of consumers in mind.
“This is about what is best for consumers – what is best for buyers and what is best for sellers. If that becomes our North Star, the industry will thrive” ” HousingIs the meeting.
“What makes American industry work so well is that cooperation. All agents in the market must get a crack in bringing a buyer to a list, and that is only possible if there is fair access.”
Compass, on the other hand, has pushed its private listing network and three-phase marketing plan. During the first phase of this plan, a list would be remembered by the MLS and only appear on Compass’s private network.
