It does say subject to inspection and it also credits the NWMLS and the listing broker (Re/Max) at the bottom of the page. The layout of the details page is pretty bad right now, so it’s probably difficult to notice, but it’s there.

Anyway, I don’t know the old rules (much less the new ones), and I’m sure my future clients would appreciate it if the sites I develop are compliant. If there are any gaffs, let me know.

Dustin:
Can you e-mail me a “Call Anna if you want to know if this one comes back on market after the inspection” bitmap?

I further suggest you put “Call Anna to see this house today!” on the Actives only and not on the STI properties. That will help people notice the distinction. On the STI’s you can say “Call Anna if you want to know if this one comes back on market after the inspection”. Something like that.

You are in violation of some rules regarding acknowledging the source. You need the mls trees, I think or Courtesy of John L. Scott. Look at my site and see what it says there. I think mine has both the trees and the courtesy acknowledgment.

Kim (the Broker in my bed) tells me the mls sent out a huge warning about “written” permission now to advertise. They are really cracking down on the rules right now, so be careful…BETA or not. I think Anna will be the one to be fined, and not you. They had a big “emergency” meeting about it and came up with…as my main man Bill Maher would say “NEW RULES!”

Searching by status would be PRIMO! No public site has that feature, that I know of. Of course we do. Have Anna show you (or some other mls friend) the map feature. I use that all of the time. I wish a public site had that ability. All that flying makes me airsick

In the mls, I just draw a box around the area and hit submit and I get all of the properties located in the box. The other feature I use a lot is radius search as in “I want to see all property within 1/4 mile of this one (by mls # or address).

A map search and radius search would be great! Most people don’t know all of the neighborhhod names, the way mine expects them to.

Your presentation is Primo! I met with Jan about the font and colors of things, and the limitations were not acceptable. I want mine to say Call Ardell to see this home with my phone number right there, and I don’t want it in fade away gray lettering with 8pt font.

I’ll go see what you changed.

I really should put a big BETA accross the top of the site, since it is a work in progress. (despite some of the unique features it does have)

Anyway, my site updates every 30 minutes. I could update it more often, but I figured 30 minutes is a good trade off between having current information vs. having my server wasting it’s cycles when nothing changed.

MLS updates are kind of ‘chunky’. There will be times when nothing changes for hours, and then the clock strikes 4 PM and 400 new properties come in and 200 disappear into the bit bucket. But yeah, sometimes things slow did a little bit.

Not having the status was an ommission on my part, and if you look at property details, you’ll notice that I now do include the status. Should we add have the ability to search for the status or put it on the search results page? I’m making it up as I go along, so I’m open to anything.

Rain city search is “my work”. I developed all it from scratch with lots of TLC & SQL. However, there’s so much more I want to do with it. I won’t be done, until Zillow & RedFin have a bidding war over me (I’m dreaming, but if you’re going to dream, dream big).
