Who Cares About Data Integrity?

First Off, I am irritated  - so bear with me.

Is it just ME or doesn't anyone care about the integrity of the Listing Data that is out there online?  Maybe consumers don't know, or understand, that some Real Estate sites that are found online only have Some of the lisings but are lacking All of them.  They only place the listings of their 'Advertisers' on their sites.

Other sites update only weekly.  And some have listing data that is Years old (Really!  Years old). 

Many of the 'National Aggregator' sites don't update photos either (5 months on market and 'No Photo' even though the photo has been in the MLS since day 3). And yes, the MLS is where almost all of the sites pull their data from. 

And some pull from multiple sources, so the consumer gets to see 5 of the same listing (and ironically, not all with the same data).

So where am I going with this?  The most accurate listing information you will find is from your local Realtor (office or agent) which has their site updated with the Full Feed from the MLS.  Like http://www.realtyman.com/ for instance.

If you only want SOME of the listing data, then feel free to search several sites.  If you want ALL of the listings, your best bet is the Local Realtor.
