Speaking to 1000's of brokers and agents across the country, I find one comman variable to success, Innovation. Whether there is a national MLS or not, real estate professionals that use technology to keep ahead of their competition will find a way to flourish in either scenerio. Those that spend their time to complain about the market, and wait for things to get better on their own, may disappear from our great industry.

Teresa, As a technology vendor supplying the real estate market I crunch the numbers daily by reading every possible white paper, article, and report on the climate of our business, as well as speak to hundreds of realtors with thousands of websites. The results are conclusive and identical to your article. 1. Consumers avoid the registration process. 2. Realtors that require registration receive low quality leads (3% succcess rates)3. Realtors that don't require registration are doing me web business now than when they previously required a registration. My top sign-in names are: Mickey, Elvis, George Bush, Bill Gates, and Kermit the Frog. Word is Kermit found a really nice pad.
