Our local multiple listing service (MRIS) is adding several fields to the data input for new listings which will require mandatory input by the listing agent, in consultation with the seller. The description below sounded pretty interesting, and difficult to monitor.
"Seller Authorizes Blogging Features – This will default to YES and be a mandatory field. By choosing NO, the web site owner must turn off any comment or blogging feature used to provide feedback about the property. A blogging feature or comments is a tool on a web site which allows a consumer to post comments about the property. These comments may be viewed by other consumers."
I believe this is intended to comply with the DOJ case against NAR regarding VOW's.
While I don't think that many sellers would actually choose to block comments, how in the world can listing agents monitor this seller requirement if they do?
