    A national MLS is not needed, but a gateway system with some national data standards would be a great help. Local MLSs always have borders, so the need to display or share data from a neighboring MLS is necessary. We need a cost effective way of accomplishing that goal, while allowing local expertise to influence their local system. We need national data standards to allow all brokers to compete with 3rd party aggregates. They publish a standard and we all deliver data to them in their format. They deliver consistent results with great data translation because the sending party did the translation. National franchises, large brokers and small brokers would all benefit from a standard internet data display data format since the cost of delivering solutions would be driven down due to the lack of having to deal with 700 different data formats and rules.

    Newspapers are the new MLS book. They are going to hang around for years for no good reason. We just need to cut the cord! Joe Ballarino Amerivest Realty, Real Estate Franchise Naples, Florida

    In some areas of the country, people would still be walking away from their homes if they had cash in it, as there are who did and still let it go. That is the consequence of a bad market. If lenders were willing to take that risk, then that is their decision and they are paying the price. It is the lenders/investors that need reform. Their aggressive business models have cost them. Buyers who walked away without cash down didn't need to be disclosed anything, nothing ventured nothing gained. Real estate brokers and agents simply bring buyers and sellers together. They don't decide who to approve or at what loan to value. Their responsibility is bringing buyers and sellers together utilizing the tools available in the marketplace.
