Looks like First American in wake of the recent COVE meetings in Scottsdale have been offering a 40% revenue share deal to MLS Providers who sign with them exclusively . 15% for a non-exclusive deal.
This is in direct response to RPR policy of not sharing revenues derived from sale and use of MLS data.
The other interesting thing I’ve heard is RPR’s response. Word is they plan to ignore MLS providers and go straight to brokers for permission.
Can anyone confirm??
Oh man this is getting verrrrrrry interesting!

First American makes their move…
The MLS Cooperative Venture (COVE) meetings are going on in Scottsdale this week. Here’s an interesting Tweet from the meetings.
COVE represents some of the largest MLS providers in the country. Things are starting to get interesting on the RPR front.
Test Post #1
This is a new post to test my RSS feed links.
Pay no attention move along…
“Life of a Realtor” Video
At a recent 2010 Fidelity Title Kick-off at the Hyatt in Westlake outgoing president of the Conejo Valley Association of Realtors, Connie Reed, of Aviara Real Estate, and Lisa Anglin of Fidelity Title performed a skit called “Life of a Realtor”. And lucky for us the cameras were rolling!
Many thanks to Vendor Alley reader Niki for sharing this with us.
Welcome to the new Vendor Alley!
Hope you like the new look of Vendor Alley. I had been hosting the blog through WP but wanted to make a few changes and that meant I needed to “self-host” the blog myself.
The biggest reason I wanted to self host the blog was that I am going to add a “Vendor Alley Jobs Board”. I’m hoping that this will be a place that MLS vendors, MLS providers, State and local associations, brokers, real estate franchisees, Title companies, software companies and other real estate related companies can post jobs available.
I’m a little biased, but Brian Boero is a genius….
