    Supposedly Sandicor has not restricted there data in the past and si unaffected by this agreement. Can anyone verify this and comment on any affect in San Diego?

    Does anyone have any comments on Sandicor’s new policy that every user has to possess some type of key fob and have it adjacent to the computer for access.

    Sandicor is not affected as they have been open to the online agents for some time.

    The new policy controlling access to the actual MLS is a royal pain but necessary to protect our clients. Too many incompetent agents and mortgage brokers have passed out their user name/passwords to clients in the general public. Half of you folks probably have been able to get in.

    The system has confidential remarks that are supposed to be visible to agents only and do not appear when the general public gets listing emailed to them or on the online Realtor sites Zip, Redfin etc.).

    How would you feel if the confidential remarks saying something like “elderly owner is hard of hearing” resulted in you grandmother getting robbed or “no access between 1 and 3 pm due to young mother home alone with infant” resulted in your wife getting attacked.

    I hate the system but it was needed to protect our clients from all the nut cases out there.

    Sandicor runs the MLS according to rules set forth by SDAR. Sandicor has always been pretty good about allowing MLS to all realtors big and small here in San Diego so this ruling will not affect San Diego.

    The new safe mls technology that you are referring to is a sad fact. The FOB simply provides a secure key to get in. It is pretty much an RSA based system, (I believe) and it is the way things will be now. This is how the association will limit mls passwords being distributed and multiple users on a given password. It also pretty much forces more people to join the association in order to get MLS access. I have heard of some brokerages with many agents all using a single login.
