Real Estate and the process by which ownership is transferred is always changing. Some changes are welcome in terms of how they benefit individuals in the process of making transactions and others are not. Many forces are coming together to effect change in the real estate marketplace. For example a recent entre of Zillow.com has caused a lot of fear in to the Real estate industry, who is rubing scarred the real estate agent or broker? What is the difference, and ultimately the home buyers and sellers will win, consumers always come first in my book!

In a general sense the system of Real estate agents and Multiple Listing Services or
“MLS’s” in the United States have created a relatively stable and liquid
market. This supports the buying and selling of Real Estate, which is a very comlicated process. In the internet age, and in a time of rapid value increases, the realtors and MLS’s are having to re-adjust.

What has been holding up the economy all this time. It’s the
unprecedented volumes in the Real Estate Market in Seattle and
elsewhere around the country. With the changes in the United States
to a service economy. Much business focus has moved to the Real
Estate market and the benefits to offering some kind of services to
the public selling and buying residential properties. The Internet
has also changed the landscape significantly with the launch of such
services as Zillow.com and Redfin.com . The addition of Banks as more
active players in the buying and selling of properties also is a major
change to be observed in the months to come. Even the Search engines
themselves have gotten into the mix by branding their own links such
as Yahoo and then selling the prospects to Brokerages.

This is not a perfect world were businesses have to respect barriers
and Integrity in terms of position is important to many if any of the
players. I could personally no less go down the street as a Real
Estate Agent and show a client a house that they were interested in
and then compete with my client with who I have a fiduciary
relationship with by buying the house from under them. Than as a search
engine company with the power and position they yield in our lives
brand the first position in their own search engine as their own and
sell the prospects. At the very least it seems a dilution of their
brand and the most a conflict of interest.

You thought Zillow.com was Hot, soon you will gear about XoomPad.com!

In a general sense the system of Real estate agents and Multiple Listing
Services or “MLS’s” in the United States have created a relatively stable and liquid market. This supports the buying and selling of Real Estate, which is a
very complicated process. In the internet age, and in a time of rapid value

Any market needs stability in order that the buyers and sellers have an
expectation of value when engaging or contemplating engaging a transaction
especially a complicated transaction such as real estate where land and homes come together. We will undoubtedly see many challenges to property
value evaluations across the U.S. in markets where values have changed
dramatically. St a national and local level, we should look carefully when
considering radical changes to a system that has worked well considering the
volume of transactions and the changes in marketplace.
