Yahoo has an exclusive agreement with Prudential. We have to pay a 35%
commission if any leads close but our office hasn't figured the system out yet so I guess I don't have to worry about that for now!!!

I personally think that the agreement with Prudential and Yahoo is unprofessional. It is questionable about meeting IDX requirements, and YOU have to pay 35% for the lead?! Unreal.... and my sellers get pissed when they go to Yahoo! And see some Pru agent that looks like they have the listing.   

I am not filtering my listings to Yahoo for that very reason. Advanced Access has a featured listing that if you put the address in then it will go to Yahoo. I no longer do that. I will not allow Pru to take my leads, and if AA wants to be in on this game, then they will lose me as well. I've sent several complaints to Prudential, NAR and Yahoo over this. My best advice is don't' pay 35% for any lead... Especially one that was gotten by ill gains..

I'm really ashamed of Prudential and Yahoo over this whole mess.  I have sellers calling and emailing me wondering why it looks like they are listed with Prudential?  Not good.... Not good at all. 

Shame on Prudential for this scheme and shame on the agents that take advantage of it.  Shame on Yahoo, cause they just lost my business, and shame on Advanced Access for floating my leads over to yahoo, so that Pru can steal them; 

What goes around, comes around.
