By |2018-05-03T21:24:48-07:00November 8th, 2012|Broker Technology Research, Main category|0 Comments

With listing syndication expanding to 50 or more websites, brokers are challenged to keep up with the features, policies, and display rules of each site. In an effort to help brokers understand the differences between publisher websites, Listhub provides a broker dashboard that spells out the differences and enables brokerages to filter out websites that the broker does not like.

The new features are: Refreshes Daily: The publisher posts new or updated listing information at least once a day. No For Sale By [...]

Zillow brings battle to Listhub

By |2018-05-03T21:24:56-07:00July 3rd, 2012|Broker Technology Research, Main category, MLS Insights|6 Comments

Zillow launched a preemptive strike against Listhub yesterday by requesting IDX feeds from the nation's MLS providers. Zillow Executive Bob Bemis sent an email to all MLS CEOs and Executives titled "Why two data feeds when one will do." In the email, Bemis admits that Zillow.com is focused on improving data accuracy and timeliness. The note goes on to explain that Zillow's IDX service, Diverse Solutions, already has the data, why not allow Zillow to use it for Zillow.com so Zillow can circumvent their reliance on Listhub data feeds. A battle ensued when Listhub got word that Zillow was calling them out on [...]

Years ago, before ListHub, Point2, and Postlets, – if a broker wanted to publish listings to a third party consumer facing website, they would need to hand enter the listing or manufacture a data feed.

Sundays are for surfing, and one of my favorite places to surf periodically is the ListHub Dashboard. Every real estate broker or MLS who is syndicating listings via Listhub should frequently check into the dash board to stay abreast of changes to Listing Syndication. Listhub does an excellent job of communicating where listings are going; what the terms of use are for each site; detailed information on re-syndication to other sites; data refresh frequency; support response times; and many other interesting facets of online data management. On November 14th, 2010, Listhub launched an online magazine that summarizes each syndication site. It is [...]

In a MOVE that is sure to improve listing syndication to third party websites, MOVE, Inc has aquired Threewide, the operators of the popular ListHub product which syndicates listings to their party websites like Trulia and Zillow for customers like MLSs, Brokers, Franchises, etc. If you saw the MOVE announcement last week whereby their contract with NAR regarding Listing Syndication needed to be amended, you can appreciate just how tight the relationship is between MOVE and NAR. There is very little that MOVE can do without NAR’s blessing and approval. Everyone should be proud that NAR takes Broker Listing Content so [...]
