Realtors know this and that's why they guard the MLS with such ferocity. <br /><br />I realized purchasing real estate can be overwhelming and some may is choose to hire an agent to guide them through the process. For the rest of us, educating ourselves before we plunk down our lifesavings is the preferred method. Give me the tools I need and I'll find my own home.<br /><br />I agree with misterbubble, change is inevitable and the fools who stand in the way will, in the end, be left empty handed.greenthumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369944266378887074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15223784.post-35630388459067572092007-01-23T14:47:00.000-08:002007-01-23T14:47:00.000-08:00Make that Deeds of Trust.Make that Deeds of Trust.bilirubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622935561372397427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15223784.post-4260172362975500192007-01-23T14:46:00.000-08:002007-01-23T14:46:00.000-08:00I'm still not seeing scans for Warranty Deeds.I'm still not seeing scans for Warranty Deeds.bilirubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622935561372397427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15223784.post-34506214206779763062007-01-23T14:33:00.000-08:002007-01-23T14:33:00.000-08:00Have you guys tried to bring up loan docs in King ...Have you guys tried to bring up loan docs in <a href="http://146.129.54.93:8193/localization/menu.asp?">King County's Recorders Office</a>?

They shouldn't be in the MLS in the first place. In fact, it's already a fallacy to assume that <i>"in the MLS"</i> means <i>"private."</i> Would you trust every Realtor in the state of Washington to the security code for your home? I wouldn't.<br /><br />But whatever. This is like debating the tides -- the MLS is going to become more open, because there is an economic incentive to do so. Ardell, et al., can create an army of straw men, but it won't stop the change.MisterBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317437260649857132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15223784.post-17139681560131378142007-01-23T10:13:00.000-08:002007-01-23T10:13:00.000-08:00For what it's worth, I agree that much of the data...For what it's worth, I agree that much of the data in the MLS system should remain private. Security codes, personal details, and so forth should be protected. <br /> <br />All <i>I'm</i> saying is that if the MLS wants to use their listings as an "advertisement" to the public, they ought to be truthful in what details they <i>are</i> making public. "New on market" ought to actually mean that it is a listing that has not been on the market for the past few months.The Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14832570891451659976noreply@blogger.com
