Open listing service would be great. What is to stop scrapers from getting a nearly complete list of properties for sale? Do selling agents prevent sellers from advertising on Facebook and Craigslist?
A browser add on that scraped user pages for listing data and uploaded to open listing service would prevent services from shutting down a centralized scraper.
It would be nice if cities required registering a property for sale sixty days before recording a sale of 30 before accepting a contract. If notice is not given, they could charge a hefty fee for a closed sale.
Remember, realtors don't really want to advertise your house to the widest possible audience. They only want the largest possible commission for themselves, so they want control over who buys it. If a buyer represented by the same agency buys it, the agency get double commission!
