MRIS will provide direct feed to Zillow.

This is the big announcement I was alluding to yesterday. Guess they couldn’t wait to announce the news.

One of the Nation’s Largest Multiple Listing Services, Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, Inc., Votes to Establish Direct Listings Feed to Zillow.

“”MRIS’s market is very hot right now,” said Curt Beardsley, Zillow vice president of industry development. “Inventory is incredibly tight in this region so ensuring listings are up-to-date is a top priority for us. Having high quality listing data helps guarantee consumers have the best experience possible. A new direct data feed helps us not only maintain that great consumer experience, but allows for us to better serve the customers of MRIS.”

While every market is different this is a huge win for Zillow. Having one of the largest MLS providers opting to provide direct listings will definitely influence other MLS providers. Curt has been busy.
