Looks like listing agents are trying to beat the May 8th deadline. I found 2 more while I was grabbing the info for twist. Looks like listing agents are trying to beat the May 8th deadline.

I only have "pseudo-MLS" access [usually Zip] and I can't find it. Phxagent-

What’s the MLS# on that one? I only have “pseudo-MLS” access [usually Zip] and I can’t find it.

Usually listings expire towards the end of a month and get relisted the following month possibly by new agent. So this is the time to look out for such violations. A slight dip in the inventory this week is due to a lot of expired listings. Just found one:

And those of others. :) Although, I would prefer the word "will," rather than "can." "...a days on market violation can cost you a $200 fine per listing." Really, if someone gets caught doing this 3 or 4 times, their account should be terminated, or at least suspended for a year. The DOM re-sets are obviously not "due to a typo" if the same person pulls the same trick repeatedly. I guess that they tired of my complaints. And those of others. :)

I can only hope that the ARMLS tighetening of rules will get noticed up in Canada as well. At first I was like, "That's funny, this is a property that just went off market! I wonder why it's being shown as 'new' now." But it didn't take long to figure out what was going on. When you see that many realtors in your area are purposely trying to deceive you about a crucial detail about a property, how can you go on blindly trusting *anything* that comes out of their mouths anymore???

A house was on the market for over 7 months, then was de-listed and re-listed under a new Realtor in less than a week. The new Realtor even had the nerve to proudly hang a "New Listing!" sign below her for sale sign. Those of us who have seen this house sit empty for so long know better, but as for others I guess they have no way of knowing.... I have seen this happen in my neighborhood in Tucson.

[I certainly know what's been around in my area by virtue of watching.] The really active agents ignore DOM- they know how long properties have been around. While it's nice to have it appear that a listing is new, I don't think most agents will figure it's worth more than a $200 fine. The real deterrent here is the lockdown though, ARMLS is making it a lot tougher to cheat. It's not an answer to all the problems, but at least it's a move in the right direction. 44password44-

This is a commission with at least 7,000.00. We need to put the mls system in the hands of an un-biased 3rd party. Come on a 200.00 fine?? This is a commission with at least 7,000.00.
