With listing syndication expanding to 50 or more websites, brokers are challenged to keep up with the features, policies, and display rules of each site. In an effort to help brokers understand the differences between publisher websites, Listhub provides a broker dashboard that spells out the differences and enables brokerages to filter out websites that the broker does not like.
Listhub expanded their filtering based upon feedback that they received from their customers, including MLSs, Brokers, and Franchise Organizations. The new features are:
These three filters expand upon many of the other filters that support the broker in selecting a publisher:
In addition to these new filters, Listhub added a website lookup tool. This helps brokers figure out who powers sites through resyndication. For example, SanLuisObispo.com – our local newspaper website – is powered by HomeFinder.com. Trulia and Zillow also resyndicate to other sites, mostly newspaper websites.
With any luck, Listhub will go further and provide brokers with traffic data on publisher websites in the future.
