Jim,

I come to your blog as often as I can, but I might have missed it if you have talked about this. First, some background: I put my house on the market 3 weeks ago today and distinctly remember hearing my agent tell me how important the first 21 days are when selling - when a house is new it is exciting and that is the best time to get people to see it.

So here we sit, 21 days later and my house has yet to make it to realtor.com. Apparently the T5 upgrade has made it so NO San Diego MLS listings are propagating over to realtor.com, which just happens to be the most popular real estate web site.

I knew going into this that selling would be difficult, but when you have NO visibility on the largest real estate site in the country it really hurts, and possibly is costing me a lot of money!

I called realtor.com yesterday, and they verified that the Tempo 5 system has prevented any new listings from being uploaded to realtor.com.  They've had the new program running now for 30 days, and they can't find a way to connect to realtor.com?  Unbelieveable.  I can't wait for the lawsuits to start flying!!  Please somebody design a new public-MLS!!
