Real Estate MLS Standards? It's about g'damn time!
As an agency that is quite vested in the real-estate industry, I have to say that this movement to develop a standard for MLS listing is about the best news I have head in years. For anyone with significant RE clients, dealing with the various issues with data provided in MLS feeds presents one challenge after another. Its a nightmare. Outside of integration of listings into a brokers website, you also face challenges of feeding your listings to loads of aggregate and services that are used by the general public (ex. Trulia, Zillow, etc.).
Things are looking up on the horizon as some of these significant players press for standards.
Fingers crossed that this happens at breakneck speed. God speed RESO! Make it happen. Nothing but good can come of this.
