[...] “What makes Roost different is that, instead of trying to list all properties in the U.S. as Zillow or CyberHomes do, or take in feeds from individual real estate brokers as Trulia does, it is negotiating with Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) in each metro area to get a comprehensive set of houses on sale.” Erick Schonfeld, TechCrunch [...]

I Agree With Dallas Home, You Can search local sites which i think are much better to search for homes on.

Why go to a big national site where there is yet another step between the buyer and the realtor who ultimately will be the one person to help the person through the transaction?

Try searching locally, there’s much better alternatives like mine:

A business associate of mine spends about 6 hours blogging and using web 2.0 to generate real etate leads. If you are in real estate… you have to find new ways to use social networking sites. It’s a must to use sites like Roost. http://www.ibuymorehomes.com

Hey Bob, can you clarify what you mean when you say that Dreamtown.com sponsors the MLS search? Aren’t they just copying the same format as all the other’s? What makes them the “standard for excellence” for property searches? Is it thier search engine model…it seems like they are all the same, i’m a newbie in the real-estate game and a little confused. How does it all work?

Thanks,

Joey

[...] TechCrunch, predictably, gets a few facts wrong. It’s not clear they understand the difference between a broker (e.g. Redfin) and a listings site (e.g. Roost.) Also, if I understand this bit of fine print on Roost’s site, they don’t get their data directly from the MLS, but by piggybacking on broker IDX sites. Subtle but important difference. [...]

I agree with Bokon Too Koonet. What Roost is doing is not a new idea – online real estate companies have been stitching MLS IDX sites together for years. What’s unique about the new crop of Web 2.0 sites is not only in the experience, but in the direct data licensing from the brokers and MLSs (like the parent company of http://www.Cyberhomes.com – Fidelity National – is the largest provider of MLS services and has direct access to the MLS data all day long to aggregate for Cyberhomes.)

@michael #28 – problem is that most consumers don’t know how to find access to the local public access MLS. Additionally, many of the 800 or so MLS around the country don’t provide public access like the sfarmls.com – as an example San Diego’s Sandicor provides no public access.

Lastly, by searching only the MLS most consumers will not see approximately 20% of available listings, which are marketed, as FSBO at anyone time via newspaper classifieds, FSBO sites and craigslist, etc.
