Precisely why Google is stepping into the MLS arena!
Realtor.com is currently the best MLS aggregator there is IMO.
That doesn't mean they're good, just the best available.
There is a vast opportunity to consolidate all the RE info and make it more
seachable and user friendly. It is yet to be seen how well Google works with
agents; whether they form a good relationship, or just piss everyone off.
I have heard Google will host video tours as well as a "basic" free photo package
that can be upgraded to 100's of photos if you wish. Another feature is the
ability to add 1 full page jpg that is intended to be for a floor plan. That's a
feature I think will be a hit.
The big question is when???????????????????????????????

Re: Realtor.com = awful search capability. Any alternatives?
