Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.
Open letters, lawsuits and pushback galore, the private listings debate, and a subsequent ban on listings that don’t comply with the Clear Cooperation Policy have agents and brokers lining up on different sides of an increasingly wide professional divide. Yet you still have to go out and talk to your sellers about their options while toeing the lines of compliance, best practices and brokerage guidance.
TAKE THE INMAN INTEL SURVEY FOR JULY
That’s why we asked: Have you changed your process in light of the private listings drama? Are you talking to your sellers about private listings or touting the benefits of a wide rollout when marketing their home? What is your broker telling you about your options, and what are your colleagues saying? Have your clients asked about privately marketed listings or are they full-steam ahead, hoping to launch with the widest possible online exposure?
While those of you who weighed in didn’t go into detail, you said that yes, you are changing up your processes. Let us know the details below in the comments.
