\u201cYou might need a dog toy, but your dog just needs\u00a0you.\u201d<\/p><\/div>MLS fights are always about Residential listings. Nobody is claiming to have lost sleep (or money or jobs or opportunities) over Land and Lots or Multi-Family or BizOps. No one at Redfin is tasked with tracking underperformance by Patagonian buyers competing for Industrial properties. You might from this conclude that MLS “justice” is really just a matter of whose ox is gored. I always think that way.<\/p>\n

“What does ‘exclusive’ mean?” a buyer once asked my wife, seeing a rider on a yard sign as they were driving by. “It means they don’t want you to have representation.” That’s the perfect answer \u2013 not because she’s the perfect quill-pulling marketer but because she’s sweet and honest.<\/p>\n

But her answer is not quite true: When I list a rental exclusively by promoting it only on Realty.bots, I’m not saying prospective tenants can’t have representation. I’m just not paying for it. As it happens, around ten percent of the applications we receive will have uncompensated agents attached to them \u2013 hoping to sell the applicants a home in a year or two.<\/p>\n

Who goes unrepresented? Everybody else \u2013 everybody who doesn’t look like a good investment to be a homeowner very soon. Tenants are always desperate \u2013 time is never their friend \u2013 so I will get over-the-transom Realty.bot inquiries from theoretically-represented parties, anyway.<\/p>\n

Who cares? Nobody. It’s Rental, not Residential, and there are property management companies in Metro Phoenix who pay $25 by MLS to Tenant’s Agents for a completed move-in. Show, application, qualification and follow-through, perhaps weeks later. Key In Listing Office \u2013 no joke. Redfin and REX know nothing<\/em> about gouging other broker’s agents.<\/p>\n

I think an exclusive Residential resale listing is colorably a fiduciary violation, since only a full and fair test of the marketplace can surface the highest, safest, soonest offer. But: I list Vacant or Drive-By-Only homes for resale, and I’m done in four days. And: I am not your broker. In any case, the betrayed party, if any, is the seller. No harm? No foul.<\/p>\n
