Thankyou,

I wasn’t aware individual offices could opt in or out of the “providers” programs. In the rest of the province, I understand the member brokers decide once, then the board allows one provider to offer the service to any member who wants to use it.

I guess TREB’s size makes things different.

But at the end of the day, I question how much value the public will find in not knowing which 25% - 75% of the inventory they’re not seeing, and will simply use mls .ca for property searches.

I believe there are other ways to make a web site a profitable part of your business.

As a Side Note: I think it would be in both our interests to connect for referrals. I'll send you a PM over the weekend.

Cheers ......... Dave

I just set up an Idx fed website in thru data recieved from http://trebdata.trebnet.com

my site is http://dariuszghattas.com

and links on how to build it using free, thats right free open source scripts such as open realty and joomla. http://open-realtor.com

The new standard coming to us realtors soon is RETS as their is a free solution to pulling listings from the mls with the vielerets script with open realty.

anyhow, hopw this helps
