By Glenn Kelman|RedfinBecause we believe that all buyers should be able to listings, Redfin.com will not publish any listings that have been publicly marketed before being shared with all real estate websites via the MLS. To encourage home-sellers to market their listings via the MLS, Redfin is also asking MLSs to create a coming-soon designation for listings that precludes search sites from showing how long a home has been for sale and at what prices.
By Glenn Kelman|RedfinWith NAR’s new pocket-listing policy, brokers can, with the seller’s consent, withhold listings from public view on real estate websites. The new rule requires that the listings be shared with other brokers, via local Multiple Listing Services. This means that, as a broker that also runs a large real estate site, we’ll be able to tell our buyers about these listings. But it would be much better for consumers if everyone could the homes for sale on all the real estate sites.
