Speaking of Zillow, looks like the old Tarasoft team is getting back together.
Bill Andrews – Director of MLS & Industry Relations at Zillow Group Inc.
Transcript says Crocker had “no information” to believe Samuelson used MOVE confidential data.
Last week Andrea at Inman News wrote an article titled, “NAR dodges 3 Zillow claims in Crocker letter countersuit, but defamation sticks“. I still think both parties should just drop each other lawsuits against each other but these two answers jumped out at me in the transcript.
Keep in mind this is Zillow’s attorney interviewing Chris Crocker:
“Q. Do you recall telling me that you had no information that would lead you to believe that Mr. Samuelson had ever used Move’s confidential while at Zillow?
A. That is accurate.”
and
“Q. As you sit here today, are you aware of any information that indicate that Mr. Samuelson used or disclosed confidential Move information?
A. I am not.”

Introducing the Turn On Podcast
“So, we thought we’d share the talking with you once in awhile by doing a podcast. We’re calling it Turn On. Sometimes it will be just Marc and I talking about stuff we’d be talking about anyway, then maybe we’ll invite some guests.
CRMLS and MLSListings walk the walk.
It’s been a crazy few weeks, so I haven’t been posting too much lately. Top of my list was to talk about the announcement that CRMLS and MLSListings will begin sharing listings. This “barrier-free” agreement means both MLS providers will show listings via each others Matrix MLS system.
This shows real progress in Art Carter’s “ItsMyBusiness” campaign.
And also is counter to the narrative that larger brokers are putting out (a la Upstream) that MLS executives are standing still and deaf to their concerns. MRIS and TREND MLS’ MLS Evolved initiative is another good example of MLS executives putting their own interest behind in favor of exploring alternative solutions.
Kudos to Art and Jim.
