Reply.com will charge agents for leads they may never connect with, this is not customer friendly if you ask me. An agent could easily rack up a few hundred dollars for nothing. Just know this if you get involved.

Reply offer agents and consumers a very unique opportunity to connect. Reply offers the consumer a relatively informative site where they can research current real estate trends and become more educated. The site also offers real estate agents an opportunity to connect with and engage consumers on a much broader scale in a shorter period of time.

There is no need to break up any MLS monopoly... market forces will take care of that. In the past, Realtors had control of the information (listings). As Internet sites such as Zillow.com and Reply.com fine tune their business models and continue to improve their ability to acquire information, one can easily see that the end of the exclusive listing is not far far away.

I am an investor and an agent. I can tell you right now that paying to make offers on properties will go over like a lead balloon in the investor community. We already pay for tax data anyway, so we don't use these websites for much really. We do not consider their estimates of value to be very accurate, especially in the present market. I do agree that MLS needs to wake up, where internet influence and changes are concerned. But I'm not about to pay anyone to make non binding offers.

I would also venture to add that most of the unsolicited offers will be from "birddogs" who work for investors, and as such, they will not be "closers" who have the funds to close the deal. They will be used as a way to prospect by amateur investors who are trying to collect a finders fee. This will aggravate sellers. Reply.com is getting into some muddy water if they plan to be the source of these offers. I personally would not want to be in the middle of that.

MLS / RE brokers will change in time - agency requires them to act in the best interest of their principle including making available all true marketing avenues for the best results possible. Consumers will judge if brokers and MLS systems do this. By side stepping broker services, consumers are making a decision and statement. Are these data sites also an auction site, need to follow real estate laws for presenting offers, are a marketing board making profits from add space sales?

These real estate sites provide good information. But, they all seem to lack a critical homebuying tool. Immediate response, online mortgage Pre-approvals and Loan Options.

Are you REALLY implying that it's "unethical" not to pay a realtor's commission??! I don't see Reply.com's new service as being used as an end run around avoiding paying fees on listed property, but as avoiding listing with MLS in the first place. I hope it wildly succeeds, as a populist alternative to all-too-often-unethical realtors. The free market may accomplish what the hearings in Washington probably won't - breaking up the MLS monopoly.
