One brokerage's plan to give agents—and buyers—more room to breathe
Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents
October 2, 2024
📈 Market Move:
Power Move
Anywhere is calling for four major changes to the MLS, aiming to give agents and consumers more flexibility. They want more time to market properties before they’re added to the MLS, asking for a few weeks instead of the current one business day rule. They're also pushing to eliminate restrictions that separate MLS and non-MLS listings, making it easier for buyers to see all available homes in one place.
The company is also advocating for non-member agents to be able to share listings and use lockboxes, opening up competition. Anywhere believes these tweaks would give consumers more options and create a more open market without scrapping existing rules entirely. Stay tuned—this could be a game-changer for how listings hit the market!
