IDX Survey for Social Media

Last month the NAR Board of Directors rescinded the Franchisor indexing policy and supported syndication as an alternative method for franchise organizations and similar entities to display listings subject to listing brokers' rights to determine and control where the listings will be displayed.

The BOD also voted that the IDX policy and enabling model rules be enhanced and expanded to address the unique aspects of displaying IDX listings in a social media context and that all delivery mechanisms and devices may be utilized for display of IDX listings provided that the resulting display complies with the IDX policy and applicable laws and regulations.

Clareity Consulting and RealTrends are conducting a broker survey regarding proposed changes to NAR's IDX policy, specifically regarding the use of social media. The results of the survey will be provided to the NAR MLS Policy Committee as input for their decisions.
