It is your Money, your blood sweat and tears, your Equity, your life and it is your SOLD price, your Loan, your Job that created MLS Data yet the Association of Realtors is allowed to Call it their own. Why?
You should be able to see this Data anytime you like. The Realtors, others wise known as the Real Estate Cartel, they should not be able to KEEP your data their secret coveted investment. NAR uses your data to lure new members, and banks and appraisers can join too, it is a fee based service and you created the content but get NO COMPENSATION. Realtors Get Commission, NAR gets dues, benefits and funds from Special Interest Groups and Affiliations, money from accreditation's - books - ads - all kinds of corporate connections and businesses and they use your data, your home photos, information, words, area information as content, as information for the MLS, as website information and something interesting to look at... NAR makes Billions from using your SOLD information over and over again, as well as your expired listings, withdrawn listings, your photos... all of this is something that is makes them relevant .. it is like it is their newspaper.. with FREE writers and they put ads on.. like it is their TV show but they pay no actors, no writers, no producers... they simply get the content (the Show - and all the actors) for FREE and they get the money from the advertisers...
See How it Works... They Use You and Give you NOTHING in Return. Not even the decency to actually enforce their whimsical Code of Ethics and their absurd Standards of Practice.
You Lose....
MLS Data Belongs to YOU the Real Estate Consumers, yet Every Greedy new company wants it to sell it back to you somehow... this is WRONG.. Very - Very Wrong...
