Zillow is releasing the pared-down listings it is now receiving from a large several listing service that serves almost 10,000 members in Tennessee, northern Alabama and southern Kentucky, but says it will cut off the feed after a shift duration during which brokers can sign up to supply a direct feed to the website.
The MLS is supplying the listing portals with feeds that consist of fewer information fields, a maximum of four photos of each house, and property descriptions capped at 150 characters. Real, Tracs has stated it will require that third-party sites provide a link back to the listing information page on the listing broker's website with each listing.

com just real estate agent. com was not offering linkbacks on "unenhanced" listings Friday. Realtor. com only supplies links back to the sites of the brokers or representatives who promote with the portal. Zillow has actually constantly provided a linkback to listing brokers on their Zillow listings, as long as they consist of a valid relate to the listing in their feed, whether it's sent straight or not, Zillow spokesperson Amanda Woolley said.
It's unclear if Real, Tracs will shut down the flow of listings to real estate agent. com and other websites if they don't begin consisting of a linkback on listings. Real, Tracs is dealing with an agreement with List, Center that would make sure that any portal publishing its listings would provide such linkbacks.
com and other third-party websites continue to receive complete listing info from those brokers and representatives who have a marketing relationship or other arrangement with the websites. For example, members of Zillow's complimentary broker direct-feed program, Zillow Pro for Brokers, in addition to those in Trulia's direct broker program, still have their full listing information show up on Zillow.


In the meantime, Zillow will take listings in both trimmed and complete form, said Katie Curnutte, Zillow's director of communications. However Reference will cut off the feed after a shift period of undefined length "to offer brokers a bit of time to register for the complete feed." "We have worked out a solution with Genuine, Tracs to supply brokers who want to market their listings on Zillow a chance to do so through the MLS," Curnutte stated.
