mls.ca switch to realtor.ca delayed
As any REALTOR will tell you, this is no surprise. The real estate industry is famously old and grouchy about technology changes. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) informed me this morning that:
The public www.mls.ca web site will officially change its name to www.REALTOR.ca on Monday June 30th, 2008. The original launch date, set for late-May, was delayed by CREA due to some concerns raised by various real estate Boards and Associations.
Incidentally "CREA" is the Canadian Real Estate Association. I wonder who those real estate Boards with "concerns" were. I would be surprised if it was us here in Vancouver as the REBGV has actually been quite the real estate technology innovator in the past. We'll just have to wait to see what they've come up.
