Strategic Hypocrisy

From MLS Tesseract
Strategic hypocrisy and management by anecdote

Brian Larson

“TRA brokers are flabbergasted that some MLSs don’t want to provide data feeds for this use of MLS data. But if someone else had come along proposing to do it three years ago, let’s say, those same brokers would have protested quite vigorously. In fact, in one of our MLS clients, the MLS executive presented the TRA proposal and local broker’s request for data feed without identifying the broker requesting it; one of the MLS’s board members protested it vigorously… until she learned it was her own company making the request. Of course, then it was OK..”

So good.
