Good breakdown from Matt…
Recommendation to MLS Policy – November 2014
“While attending RESO meetings last week in Las Vegas, I heard that the RETS standard data dictionary would soon be ratified by RESO, and that the new Web API would be ratified by the middle of 2015. This is great news! While the data dictionary will continue to be improved, even adopting what we have in the data dictionary now will be a big deal, making it far easier for publishers, brokers, and other aggregators of MLS content to build applications and combine content from multiple MLSs. But, without adoption of these standards at the local level, this great promise will go unfulfilled. So, it is with great pleasure that I share the following information:”
Totally agree with you Greg! The best news is that the idea was brought forth by a collaboration of brokers from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and MLS leaders and brokers on Emerging Issues Committee. The process really CAN work when we work together to solve problems!
I hope this recommendation along with the three others sail through without a hitch!
