MLS Update
It has been difficult to keep up with everything that is going on regarding possible MLS mergers and other changes, especially since it has been changing so rapidly. Expanding our MLS coverage is a goal we have been trying to accomplish for some time. Over the past three years, several alternatives have been proposed. The primary one has been to merge with MLSListings Inc (formerly NCREX) to form a Bay Area MLS.
Department of Justice (DOJ) reaches favorable settlement with NAR over MLS policy
NAR and the U.S. Department of Justice have reached a settlement, concluding a two-year DOJ investigation followed by two and half years of litigation regarding NAR's multiple listing policy pertaining to the display of listing from the MLS on brokers' Virtual Office Web sites, or VOWs. The settlement terms are favorable for NAR.
