Notes from the NAR Survey
The pace of change was noted as increasing and key areas highlighted were:

1) Consolidation of Multiple Listing Systems. Realtors are on record
as strongly supporting an increase in the area a MLS covers.
2) The increase in the number of Real Estate Agents (Realtors) not
supporting the MLS use of public websites. 63%

3) An increased concern for the need for information security while
implementation of security has not increased.

4) Real Estate Agents where and are interested in the data
integration such as being able to attach documents to MLS listings and
value the increased use of maps such as on www.Xoompad.com
The survey highlighted that the success of the MLS and Real Estate
Agent business model hinged on the delivery of services superior to
those non-members would offer.

5) The belief by some respondents that unfettered public access to
data is not good for the industry

6) The increased use of transaction management systems from 16 to 22
percent. Over half claiming it strengthened thier customer
relationship.

The survey went out to 20,000 members and MLS official in Feb. 2006
