Mine does not. So not ALL MLS's require you to be a REALTOR. Some leave it up to members to decide. Remember MLS membership also requires NAR membership

This statement is mostly true, but not totally accurate. 82% of MLS’s require Realtor membership. Mine does not. So not ALL MLS’s require you to be a REALTOR. Some leave it up to members to decide.

The seller pays upfront for real marketing, has an innovative marketing company web-publish it and then make it available to all the "agents."

Funny the only agents that last are the agents who use the non NAR business model, and don't sell their souls and the futture of their grand children through stupid gimics and tax legislation. They build business relationships that last their whole career, not just with customers but with other agents. If you belong to a local association you know that the bulk of cooperation is not polite but out of obligation. Tyler -

When I practiced in NY, the most affluent areas - the hamptons and Manhattan were desperately trying to fight off Dottie Herman's efforts to evangelize the well to do real estate heathen. Sadly, her despairation to bring a "code of ethics" to people who answered only to state licensing boards, and misconduct could result in a loss of livelyhood - way more effective than unpublished and sealed records of COE "violations." Remember MLS membership also requires NAR membership (I like to vote for my leaders thank you) and all the baggage that Realtor.com brings (do you really want to go there?). I am glad that the French see the light about something. Requiring all agents and brokers to be part of a MLS is nothing but anti trust.
