"According to the email, a common reason for an MLS member's service to be interrupted is due to a policy violation that is not corrected within the required cure period. In the email, MRED expressed confusion over the January timeline Zillow was allegedly providing subscribers with in its outreach, since MRED has not provided Zillow with any notices of violations as of mid-December."
"The spat between Zillow and MRED began in early November when MRED sent an email to its members, notifying them that the MRED team was aware that some members may have received phone calls from Zillow regarding MRED's private listing network. Under Zillow's listing access standards policy, listings entered into MRED's private listing network violate Zillow's policy because they are being publicly marketed without being available for display on websites powered by IDX or VOW feeds."
MRED warned members that MLS service interruptions commonly result from unresolved policy violations and challenged Zillow's claim that subscribers faced January interruptions, saying MRED had provided no violation notices as of mid-December. MRED requested an explanation from Zillow and received none. The dispute began in early November after MRED alerted members to possible Zillow calls about MRED's private listing network. Zillow's listing access standards prohibit publicly marketed listings that are excluded from IDX or VOW display. MRED maintains that selectively excluding listings may breach its rules and Zillow's license terms that require display of all licensed listings without bias.
