Roost Jumps off The Fence
Roost.Com launches today. It's another play to mash up FSBO, New Construction and MLS data. The MLS data is fed by IDX feeds from brokers. The business model creates a means for brokers to pay for click through advertising back to the listings in their own sites. I'll let you draw your own conclusions regarding the site and their entrance into what Greg Swann refers as the group of "Realty.Bots". Always the early adopters, Prudential Gary Greene is feeding the data for Houston's listings.
Here's a round up of the coverage thus far:

So what's your take on this? Do you see the business model for Realty.Bots changing as a result of this latest entrant? Update: I spent a little more time investigating the business model and put my thoughts and analysis up at AgentGenius.Com

Yet another site with their hands in our pockets...great.
But to answer your question...the proliferation of these realty sites out there has really watered down the power of listing data and is bringing the circle back around to the agent at the center of the transaction. Data is plentiful but what do consumers DO with it? None of these sites address that as far as I'm concerned - and will never be able to compete, aka steal the hard-earned paychecks from, the true professionals in the field.
