About once a week I get a "request to remove my listing from your website" from listing agents because their listings on my website rank higher than theirs. I send a nice "IDX explanation" and some leave it alone – a few often will dispute the spirit of IDX. I wish our MLS would do a better job of educating listing agent.

Couldn't agree more Jay. I am a sales agent from Toronto Canada and I come across the same issue all the time. Some agents want to be superman/woman and make sure that they are the one who sell the property. A lot of times my request for permission to advertise is totally ignored. Sad thing is that I check the listing after a couple of months and see the house is still seating on the market. I always wonder what would their seller think.

Following all of the mess in the real estate area, I find it funny to note that many are bickering about leads and ranks and new gizmos and gadgets. If some spent more time on selling the property instead of side-things, they would be doing much better. Just my .02 cents.

Take Care,

Kudos to you for spelling it out in black and white. It's the "for the agent" vs "for the seller" mentality. What would sellers think if they truly got their arms around this issue. I have never once understood this hoarding mentality (at the sake of the sellers to boot) that some agents/brokers have. Wake up people, Karma will get you and while the rest of the country progresses, you will be buried in your antiquated and selfish ideas. The consumers of today and tomorrow are a far cry more sophisticated and savvy than those of yesteryear. How will you justify your behavior when questioned by your seller? How about getting "tech savvy" and marketing your own listings? That is the answer, not hurting your seller's by being selfish and greedy!

Jay, Well said ! If the other agents are upset about their lack of their own marketing and advertising, they can certainly step it up ! But the big picture like you said, is getting the... listing...

I've been active on Twitter and social networks for a while now, but still consider myself and "old schooler" when it comes to being thorough. That said, working smart by using these technologies only makes me stronger. It surely does not put me at a disadvantage!

Too many agents treat listings as a commodity. If the only value add you have to offer are listings you forward from MLS etc you should have your license revoked! **Chris Fyvie´s last blog post..Midtown Toronto Office Space - May

Hey Jay, what are some of the things we can do to make sure the NAR knows we don't think Google is a scrapper, and that we WANT our listings on as many internet search results as possible? Beyond just writing the NAR, are there other things we can do to make sure our views are heard?
