Daily Real Estate News  |   February 21, 2003  |   Microsoft Site to End Listing Payments The Microsoft House & Home real estate Web portal, formerly known as HomeAdvisor, will no longer pay for the listings it receives from MLSs, brokers, and sales associates, according to letters being sent to company customers. The letter reads as follows: Beginning March 30, 2003, MSN House and Home will no longer post data from Multiple Listing Services, aggregators, brokers, or agents on the MSN House and Home Web site. Additionally, we will no longer maintain relationships with listings aggregators to provide data management for our MLS partners. If you currently deliver listings to MSN House and Home (whether directly or through a listings aggregator), the data import process will be discontinued effective March 30,2003. MSN House and Home will focus on continued growth by providing the best tools, content, research and insight for buying, selling or owning a home. In support of that effort, we have established a new relationship with PRIMEDIA's ReaIEstate.com. We will continue to focus on providing a great online experience to consumers and marketing opportunities for our partners, while relying on our new relationship with RealEstate.com to provide property data information by working directly with industry partners. MSN and RealEstate.com share a common goal, to attract and retain consumers through providing great content and services to consumers and partners. This new relationship will provide consolidated property data, as well as additional tools to enhance the overall breadth and depth of the consumer experience on MSN House and Home. For information about future opportunities to benefit from the marketing and distribution value provided by MSN, please follow-up directly with RealEstate.com at 800-251-0710. MSN House and Home is working to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved. Thank you again for your support. If you have questions, please caI1800-284-1255.
