MLS bans houses from showing on Google

MLS and National Association of Realtors do not like houses to be seen on the Internet. NAR/MLS bans google and the use of the internet for advertising.

"“Under IDX policy … participants have no authority to advertise those listings [from other participants] in any other way, including Internet search engines”"

"“NAR has supported this ruling! That is the scary thing. My local board threw it on NAR for intrepretation and they indeed said Google is a scraper site and no we must “protect the data” from scaper sites. I think the fear is if it starts with our board, it could easily be implemented as a nationwide policy like Benn said.” "
