Everything about Virtual Office Website totally explained
A
Virtual Office Website (VOW) is a
real estate property search site allowing the public to conduct searches of approved
Multiple Listing Service properties in a given area under certain conditions.
Features
The VOW allows the public to:
- provide contact information
- agree to become a bona fide customer / client
- get a password protected private account
- describe property interest(s)
- and then conduct searches of all available Multiple Listing Service properties in a certain area.
Site users have to provide personal information before they can actually look at the listings. Also, Realtors who use VOW can choose to “opt out” from the local Multiple Listing Service, which means that these Realtors’ properties will only be displayed to people who have signed in with the VOW.
The benefit to
Realtors is that registered users of their VOW web site become customers under contract. Registered users gain the benefit of more detailed information about each property and can generally see all available properties.
Regulation
Certain rules apply to the real estate companies ability to display each detail about a property, these "display rules" are set by the
Multiple Listing Service which generally forms it policy around the recommendations of the
National Association of Realtors.
The
National Association of Realtors, which created the VOW policy, is under an ongoing antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, which deemed the VOW policy as anti-competitive.
As of early 2006, the VOW policy has been replaced by a new
Internet Listing Display policy created by the National Association of
Realtors.
