CREA has rolled out Modules 1 and 2 of the CREA Data Distribution Facility (DDF) and is working to complete Module 3, which is the Point 2 third party data distribution portion of the program.
RAHB has made a decision to not participate in the CREA DDF until all three modules are complete. Where Module 3 is concerned, RAHB members are still better served by RAHB’s own agreement with Point 2 which distributes to over 20 real estate websites, where CREA’s agreement with Point 2 has listings distributed to fewer than five sites.
Members who wish to prepare for participating in CREA’s DDF as soon as RAHB signs on can go to the CREA DDF site and supply all the necessary permissions. (To get to the DDF site, go to REALTOR Link®, click on the Data Distribution Facility – DDF button, then click on the Access the Data Distribution Facility button.) Once the permissions are in place and RAHB is fully participating in the DDF, members will be good to go. (Just remember – Brokers of Record or their designees must enroll in the DDF before any salesperson or broker in their office can enroll.)
CREA has not been able to supply a date for completing Module 3, but more information is expected by early November. Members will be advised once a date has been confirmed.
