Is Realtor.com exempt from this IDX rule? |
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.
