[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I wouldn't be shocked if sellers resist Reffin agents (as a seller). They now post comments on their website after they view a house. Some of the comments are purely subjective but can really damage a person's listing. Things like "dated" "busy street" (but without defining what they mean by "busy street," because there are really different definitions. [/quote]
I recently listed my condo in DC, and when I was signing all the contract papers, there was something my realtor asked me to sign saying that I did not agree to have internet comments associated with the listing. He said that he feels like they're unfair. I immediately thought of the Redfin comments -- I wonder if that's just a provision for people listing in DC? Or can all sellers now "opt out" of having online reviews? [/quote]

The "opt-out" is only in relation to the MLS.   Since Redfin is a private corporation, and their comments do not go into the MLS, they are not bound by the "opt-out."  You must be a Redfin member to be able to see Redfin comments, since what you're looking at is the MLS listing extracted and re-formatted into the Redfin page + other stuff like map data, redfin comments, public tax data and so on.

So, the opt-out will affect every realty site on the net except Redfin, for the previously mentioned reason.[/quote]
