Last Wednesday I sent an email to Go Homing telling them to stop publishing my blog content and remove all of it from their Go Illinois REO site. Go Homing is an online bidding site for REO (real estate owned) also known as bank owned or foreclosed homes. Go Homing is part of Altisource Portfolio Solutions.
I made it clear that they do not have permission to publish my blog content, but since last Wednesday they have continued to publish my new content as shown below.

Go Homing has published several of my blog posts in their entirety on their Go Illinois REO site. The only differences are that they remove my name as the author and at the end of the complete post they provide a link “Go to the Original Source of this Post”.
Go Homing has several sites that are publishing other Realtors’ blog content. Such sites include: Go Arizona REO, Go California REO, Go Colorado REO, Go Florida REO, Go Georgia REO, Go Michigan REO, Go Nevada REO, Go Ohio REO and Go Texas REO.
I certainly have no problem with other sites linking to my blog content or even quoting parts as long as I’m given credit for my work. Since Altisource Portfolio Solutions is a big enough company to be traded on the NASDAQ (ASPS), they surely can afford to hire people to develop content for their web sites instead of harvesting the blog content of individual Realtors who never agreed to blog for them.
I have alerted other Chicago Realtors who’s blog content is being published by Go Homing. I will now start contacting Realtors who’s content appears on the Go Homing REO sites for other states.
