Sign into your accountNew Rule: IDX Listing Content May Be Distributed by RSS to Any Third Party
April 15 2011
I just received a copy of the Report of Recommendations of the IDX Use Work Group of the Multiple Listing Issuse and Policies Committee.
I have had a blur of calls from The Realty Alliance, Leading RE, MLSs and Franchises alike today. There are many significant concerns.
At the heart of the recommendations is the new rule that IDX listing content may be distributed by RSS or other electronic means (any way you want) to any third party without any restrictions whatsoever.
Brokers and Agents still have restraints on the use and display of the data on their own websites that third parties do not.
Furthermore, the MLS is required to enforce policies on the use of IDX data like prohibiting the display of expired, sold, or under contract listings.
