IHS-Bloomkey offers MLS in a number of states.  In all their coverage areas they do not seem to be the best price in town.  They bundle a bunch of items that do not add much value.  For example they tout podcasts.  The question is, are buyers going to download a description of your home and then play it in an iPod like music or is this a worthless add on that sounds kind of cool but adds no real value to the offering?   It’s also not clear whether their gold package, a $200 upgrade and their lowest package with multiple photos gets your extra photos on Realtor.com.   The site is vague on that topic as of this publication but we encourage them to clarify it.

They also appear to put listings in Realtor.com in states where they do not have a license and with no collaberation from a local licensee.  It remains to be seen whether this is legal but it’s certainly a good idea to research this with the local licensing commission before signing up.  It’s probably a safe bet to call your state’s licensing commission and ask them if they approve of Bloomkey being located in Virginia and taking national Realtor.com listings in a state where they have no license and no local agent they collaberate with.  Maybe it’s okay but maybe it’s not but you certainly would not want any surprises later or to find out your property was delisted so do your homework now.
