You used to be able to buy a Sear home out of the Sears catalog. Now we have Wal-Mart selling homes on their classifieds on their http://www.walmart.com/ website. Powered by Oodle we have http://walmart.oodle.com/ where anyone can post their home for sale.
Realtors can put their listings on there as well. The website asks "What are you looking for?" and I typed in real estate. The next question is "Where do you live?" I typed in Lawrence KS. I then received the 49 Lawrence Kansas real estate homes for sale.
The listings can be sorted by best match, by distance, by price (ascending and descending), and by post date. As I looked through the listings I was surprised to see a realestateshow that I created of a FSBO for one of my buyers. Apparently realestateshows pushes to Wal-Mart as well as all the other websites.
So it looks as if I don't have to post my listings on the website nor will anyone else who uses www.realestateshows.com. So Wal-Mart is going into the MLS business. WIll Sears try for a comeback and list homes too?
Thanks and "Don't keep me a secret--I'm never too busy for your referrals!"

Rob it was only a matter of time for Walmart to go into this sphere. Thanks for sharing the site.
I have been waiting for WalMart to start a listing service ( Flat Fee ) and then build a lending service around it .. we will wait and see

Weird, how many consumers do you think look on Walmart to shop for homes ? I subscribed to the rss to see what transpires.
