This bill would dictate to homeowners how they can market their property in Illinois, and one of the biggest lobbyists for it is Zillow. There are many reasons sellers do not want to immediately go onto the MLS after signing a listing agreement with a brokerage. You own your home and when you decide to sell you should be able to determine exactly how you want to market it. The state of Illinois and Zillow should have zero input.

"Zillow doesn’t sell homes. It sells advertising and leads to real estate agents. And it attracts those leads by aggregating listings on its site, primarily from the MLS. If fewer listings appear on the MLS because homeowners want to market through other channels even for a short amount of time, Zillow’s revenue takes a hit."
