Most people care deeply about their family members and close friends. Caring about doing a good job is normal, but caring deeply about your clients is weird... Either way, what kind of research have you done to know about most realtors?

Working 7 days a week just means you're doing something wrong. It's also bad for your health, your social life, and frankly your productivity. Please stop saying this

Is this the MLS? Or is Zillow scraping realtor sites?

There is no single MLS, so basically they have to get data from the various services located in any given market.

They typically paid for that access though I do know they were cut out of the Milwaukee one a while back.

I think they were scraping data at one point (but I could be entirely off-base there) At the end of the day, they are combing through public records, past sales from MLS and in many cases retyped/copied and pasted by the real estate agent.
