Re: Mert's MLSNI post
Kind of off topic, but was talking about this with a broker the other day. Thought it might be of interest.
The biggest future risk with IDX IMO is that at any point and time a big broker or two can decide to remove all of their listings. You could spend a lot of money and time developing a great custom IDX system just to end up with a worthless tool as there won't be enough listings to make it worthwhile.
We all know how some of the big brokerages have played their cards in the past with the MLSNI and Map issues. They have no issue with pulling listings, even if it's bad for their clients, to make a point. If they don't like the direction MLSNI goes with the IDX at some point you can count on them blocking all of their listings.
