New Access to Realtor.com

Today ForSaleByOwner.com became the nation’s first “by owner” real estate website to enable home sellers to advertise their home on Realtor.com without appearing on a local Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This new direct access to Realtor.com follows the May 2008 settlement between the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Association of Realtors.

Greg Healy, Vice President of Operations at ForSaleByOwner.com, stated, "We’re proud to be the first to offer this new consumer-friendly access to Realtor.com. In today’s challenging housing market, sellers need cost-saving ways to sell their homes."

I think that this is just fantastic, it help sellers in these tough times that they don't have to fork out commissions, but where will this leave the estate agents in the future?

This is a great strategy specially the sellers and i think they can easily adopt this process.

Thanks for the info about that website. I didn't know that people could list their homes, without working through a realtor. I guess it makes sense though. Do they have real estate from all over the country, or is a local thing? For instance, I'm looking at buying some Newburyport real estate, and I want to know if I can find it on that website?
