NationalBLS - A Buyer Listing Service??

2010-01-06T07:14:00.001-08:00

"NationalBLS is the first national listing service of pre-approved residential real estate buyers. It's a marketplace where buyers anonymously post their requirements to the web and receive offers from eager sellers. It's real estate in reverse."

Ok so the above description is taken directly from their site... thus the link back. This site looks cool and it is a really unique concept. Buyers register and suposedly they are qualified pre-approved buyers. They set up the paramaters for the home / property they are looking to purchase and sit back and wait for sellers to make offers to sell them their home. Sellers have to pay a fee to make what they call a reverse offer... or an offer to sell their house or other property at a particular price to the buyer.

I am interested to see how this new realty site / concept does. Have any comments.
