 So I tried LISTINGBOOK.COM today because Regional MLS, RMLSFL, included it in their services. I left in under 5 minutes. That will never last in its current form. The advertising makes it so hard and confusing to use that it hinders the productivity of the agent in the greater West Palm Beach area who is a member of Regional MLS. I suppose the advertising revenue is too hard to pass up.

Besides developing real estate web sites for real estate agents who are members of the West Palm Beach Regional MLS, we also consult with real estate brokers in the West Palm Beach Regional MLS who deal with national IDX companies (whereas regionalidx.com specializes in the Regional IDX from the Regional MLS).
Recently, we had a situation where a local broker member of the Regional MLS hired a national IDX company (let's call them national IDX company A) to provide services to their web site. The national IDX company A apparently was going through some changes and "borrowed" photos from another national IDX company (let's call them national IDX company B).

 Similar to last week, and we won't post any more in this category, this pic is from a outside the country. Do people really search for properties in West Palm Beach Regional IDX that are outside the country?
Let's rephrase for a specific, if you wanted to buy a property in Utah, would you say "Let me check Regional MLS"? No? We don't think so either.

 I'm sorry... what!!! Yes, this is an actual picture from the Regional MLS. It is from an increasing number of listings outside of the country. Apparently a subway system is for sale.

 MLS Pic 1 of the week is dedicated to the frustration of agents and clients who are looking for a home originating from Regional MLS and are unable to see any pics at all. If buyers can't see any pics, they'll simply move onto the next property. A sure way to rob a listing of any value at all.

Regional MLS, www.rmlsfl.com, starting advertising to it's customers in late 2008. The ads, provided by Adify, www.adify.com, adds additional revenue to Regional MLS along with advertising from it's newsletter, professional services and membership dues. From experience, the ads are mostly credit score ads and class mate ads with advertisers such as classmates.com and freescore.com
