If what you are fantasising about is FREE access to the MLS data which I have partly paid for, (And you have not!) You may as well dream about its` destruction therefore destroying the market value of your property. If you don`t believe me, talk to someone in Europe where their property often stays on the market for months and years and often in a motivated sale situation is often sold for 1/2 price because of the lack of such an efficient system. Prersident of CREA also said he has done everything to make the raving ignorant happy, everything but SHUTTING DOWN THE MLS.

I understand why realtors are so upset, but now time is different (internet, hi-tech age!) and many things consumers can do themselves. Home prices are also different. Today`s words from the CREA president was impressive. He said the changes "wouldn`t make sense to anyone who wasn`t a real estate agent". Feel the attitude?
