For more information on the performance of HAR.com, please review our mls consumer facing website study. It can be downloaded for free at http://www.wavgroup.com/reports HAR.com serves a vital role in the Houston area to both brokers and consumers. Brokers consider it among the chief benefits of MLS membership. Consumers love it because it offers the most accurate and timely data of any website without the sales pressure perceived from agent and broker sites. Many consumers want to do their market homework before contacting an agent or broker. From the position of logic, in brokers choose to send listings to Realtor.com, then they should be supportive of MLS public sites. In many ways brokers have more control over their MLS site than they do with Realtor.com. Third Party websites(Yahoo, Trulia, Zillow, Cyberhomes) can also be a valuable tools for brokers. They strongly support the efforts of agents trying to win listing presentations by demonstrating the agent's online marketing focus - a key selection criteria in selecting an agent.

With the new settlement btw the DOJ and NAR, MLSs will be forced to allow Brokers to enhance listings with this type of information (in my humble opinion). Victor Lund Partner WAV Group http://waves.wavgroup.com http://www.wavgroup.com
