Segment Teaser – Is Zillow positioning itself to become the next MLS? In today’s segment of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we explore one of the most controversial changes in real estate—Zillow’s New Listing Standard Policy. Could this disrupt how homes are listed and sold nationwide?

🎙️ I’m Cleve Gaddis, your host and local real estate expert, helping Atlanta buyers, sellers, and homeowners move from real estate novice to expert—so you can make confident decisions without the stress that often comes with life’s biggest investments.

💡 Here’s what we’ll discuss in this episode:

What Zillow’s New Listing Standard Policy actually means and why it’s making headlines

The historical role of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) as the foundation of American real estate

Whether Zillow’s dominance—269+ million monthly visitors and over 1.16 million listings—means it could replace the MLS

Pros and cons for agents, buyers, and sellers if Zillow becomes the primary real estate marketplace

The potential for a real estate monopoly and how that might affect competition, commission structures, and transparency

Why equal access and local data control still matter in an industry shifting toward national platforms

What industry insiders are saying—and why some are pushing back hard against Zillow’s growing influence

🏡 From the article by Houzeo:
Zillow is already the most-used real estate website in the U.S. With 70% of buyers starting their home search on the platform, is it just a matter of time before Zillow takes over what the MLS has done for decades?

⚖️ Could this shift make buying and selling simpler and more affordable—or are we headed into the dangerous territory of a real estate monopoly?
