It seems every day a new Blog or Blog site pops up. This is especially true in Washington DC. Over the past few weeks; there has been a well written; and very sleek and sexy looking blog site that is growing.
This site sells ad space and promotes listings, open houses, talk about the local market and the like. Well I heard yesterday that this site is going to be sending people (agents who write sometimes for them); to do a video tour of homes on the market - and then post them on their site.
HUH ?
My understanding is that these listings won't necessarily be that agent's or even his companies listing - but just some random (and I am sure sexy and pretty) property for sale in the DC area. Will they have the owners permission? My source says "No" - they are just going to film and post the listing.
I don't know about you - but I would have a FIT about this if this was my listing. If it was my home - I would be calling my lawyer in about 10 seconds (and grabbing by favorite golf club and aiming it... well you get the picture).
I ask my source - so how can they do that? Is that even legal? He (who is not lawyer) said - I think they can.
Love to hear what my readers think?!
