Is Realtor.com exempt from this IDX rule?

Posted at Saul's Notes by Saul Klein

Saul,
 
Is Realtor.com exempt from this IDX rule? 
 
Section 18.3.13 - Listings obtained through IDX must be displayed

separately from listings obtained from other sources, including

information provided by other MLSs.
 
Or does their access considered something other than IDX??

Hi Scott,

 

REALTOR.com's aggregation of the listings is not tied to IDX. REALTOR.com

has contracts directly with the individual MLSs to display the listings

of the contracted MLSs. These contracts have been approved by the Boards

of Directors of the respective MLSs.

 

IDX is the right of individual MLS participants and subscribers to

advertise other brokers listings on their broker or agent web sites. IDX

rules typically follow the NAR IDX Model rules and there is some local

MLS discretion.

 

So, to answer your question...REALTOR.com is not related to IDX.

 

Saul
