“Western Arizona Realtor® Data Exchange, Inc. (WARDEX) is currently seeking a skilled and motivated professional for Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Located in Bullhead City, Arizona WARDEX is a regional MLS serving 950+ members in Mohave County Arizona.”
The stated rational for the proposal was: “The property address is a key piece of listing content needed by brokers and licensees to serve the interests of their clients and customers. Disclosure of a listing address at the time of filing is consistent with the MLS’s three tenets of: efficiency, transparency, and collaboration.”
‘Edge cases’
But some on the committee wanted exceptions for when law enforcement or other government officials deemed address disclosure a safety issue or for celebrity clients who didn’t want other agents giving out their addresses to news media.
I had to laugh when I read the title of this article on Inman News. “Controversial”? Surely they had to be speaking about some of the other policies being proposed. How is putting an address for the property in the MLS, controversial? Lucky for me Chris Carrillo was there.
My Hero, Chris Carrillo
“[That policy] distinctly made a line in the sand. That line favored equal opportunity for buyers and sellers for transparency of property information, period. Anything that you do against that creates a slippery slope,” Carrillo said.
“The concerns of high-profile individuals, whether they be law enforcement, first responders, the Hollywood elite, who seek an additional layer of privacy, this can be accomplished right now under existing policy. For those who are so concerned about privacy, there’s an option for exclusive agency or exclusive office listing.
“I worry about the daylight it gives those who want to circumvent cooperation. It’s really difficult to offer transparency for a property that doesn’t have an address. How does anybody run a map search if you don’t have an address of a property? I’m sorry but Clear Cooperation and equal opportunity doesn’t just stop at a certain listing price.”

The Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) held its second digital conference last week, RESO Remote Encore: The Standards Collection. With a +20% percent jump in attendance over the previous conference (which had +30% growth over its prior conference), RESO Remote Encore was a smash hit. The week was as much a celebration as a conference, as the culmination of some major industry initiatives were highlighted. RESO released its entirely rebuilt, automated certification stack. The newly published Working With Real Estate Data course was revealed.
Great way to get a recap on the RESO Remote sessions and what’s happening in the RESO community. I loved the theme of this year’s conference and how Sam and crew keep the thread flowing through the whole event. I’m still in awe of how they got Snopp Dogg to intro the conference.
“Today, we are excited to announce the appointment of David Price to the role of President and CEO of MARIS.

I have been fortunate to grow with MARIS since shortly after its inception over 25 years ago, and I am looking forward to continuing to contribute to the stability and positive direction of the company.”
