Is MLS Changing?

Wednesday 16 January 2008 @ 11:33 am

It had to happen at sometime. Maybe it was the downturn in the Real Estate Market that has shown that the power of the internet is starting to usurp the value of the Real Estate Agent service. Whichever is true, the Flat Fee MLS has emerged and is here to stay.

The Flat Fee MLS is a merger of ideas, taking the ability to list on a property on the MLS with the FSBO method of an individual property owner selling their house without a Real Estate Agent. MLS listings have  in recent years always been the bastion of the agents. The increase in internet use has meant that to get good exposure for a property then an MLS listing was almost essential.

Now we are seeing the emergence of brokers ’selling their birthright’ for a flat fee, allowing the individual the access to the MLS through their brokerage but not offering any other service.

In hard times  it is something that may spread!




Rentals by Video - Spanish Villas to Rent by AMLA

The holiday industry in Spain provides the majority of income to the coastal areas of the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol etc. A good chunk of this goes to private villa owners who rent their properties to holiday makers through the summer months

Spain Rentals are big business. So its no surprise that the Estate Agent Association AMLA is getting in on the act. The Spanish Property MLS is set to launch a sub domain for villa rentals Spain. The site differs from most because it has the ability for property Agents and Owners to market their holiday vill using video as well as the normal photo layout.

AMLA, who recently also launched their community & property forum and video sub-domains intends to market heavily to attract Costa Blanca villas owners and Costa del Sol Properties where video production facilities are available at low rates,
