If your MLS signs up for the White Label app, any lead from that app will go to the listing agent, generating a free lead to the agent courtesy of their MLS.

]]> Comment on Inman Real Estate Connect, NYC – Are Agents and Broker Owners Ready to Connect with their customers via Mobile? by Victor Lund http://www.smarteragent.com/2012/01/inman-real-estate-connect-nyc-%e2%80%93-are-agents-and-broker-owners-ready-to-connect-with-their-customers-via-mobile/#comment-974 Victor Lund Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:30:29 +0000 http://www.smarteragent.com/?p=1524#comment-974 I could not agree more with this post. Every website owner with a mobile solution has indicated that mobile is quickly becoming a contender with the desktop for traffic and leads. Given that more consumers have mobile internet than desktop internet today (See Nielsen) - I suspect that it will not be many years before a broker or agent's mobile website becomes more important than their regular website.

]]> Comment on Broker Owners: Be Informed When Using Aggregator Sites by Amanda Cornelius http://www.smarteragent.com/2012/01/broker-owners-be-informed-when-using-aggregator-sites-2/#comment-971 Amanda Cornelius Thu, 12 Jan 2012 20:48:32 +0000 http://www.smarteragent.com/?p=1518#comment-971 Thanks for the post Brad. I think you are making a lot of really good points. What will it take for brokers to stop syndicating their listing data? One issue I see is the demand of the Seller to appear on as many websites as possible. I just posted a short article that talks about the pros and cons of syndication here: http://realinventive.com/2012/01/12/is-syndication-making-the-agent-broker-less-relevant/. Thanks again.

Great post. I started to write a comment - but it turned into 1200 words - so I put it on our blog. But here are the highlights. I think that you are on target for big brokers. Brokers should only syndicate to sites where they enhance listings. Mega Brokers have power when they control 20% of the listings in a market where small brokers are lost.
