Gold - www.THEwilmingtonMLS.com (phase 1 of 3 of our web 2.0 project) Ok...Ok.. I had to throw that in....... Seriously though.... Gold - eShowings Silver - Goomzee Bronz - agentshield I was disappointed to see that ListHub (or any syndication provider, although I think Listhub does a phenomenal job..) did not make it... With the need for agents to get as much coverage as possible in today's market, Syndication is one of the most important tools we as an MLS can offer members and one of the easiest tool agents can use to spread their listings out to as many search engines as possible, while maintaining control over THEIR listings so that an online listing inquiry is driven back to the listing agent and not a 3rd party call center in India posing as a local agent or someone else with no real knowledge of the property being listed thus potentially misrepresenting the seller and misleading the buyer.

If you have paper records, it would seem reasonable that if the information got out in any manner you could indeed be liable. I think “green is the way to go”, but before those papers get tossed, shred them with a “cross-cut” shredder available from and office supply store. Alternatively you can hire a company to come on site and shred your paper documents and certify in writing that the “said documents” were destroyed. Cross-Cut shredding is the only way outside of burning to securely destroy documents… Brian Bell Chief Technology Officer Wilmington Regional Association of REALTORS®, Inc Wilmington Multiple Listing Service REALTORS® Commercial Alliance of Southeastern North Carolina and.... 2008 Vice Chair - RESO/RETS Education Workgroup
