I personally hate that the RE business has become so dependent on politics. But as a Realtor I guess I need to be thankful because we need folks to look after the interest of those in our profession. Wonder what’s going to happen with folks like google that have stronger political ties and lobbying power than we do?

Greg, you know how I feel about this, I put myself out there quite often on political issues. I can’t separate who I am as a Realtor. ( my occupation) Balance in all things I post, I am a Realtor who sees the necessity of standing up for issues facing our Nation.

I support a lot of what RPAC has supported, but not all. Still not a fan of the tax credit, but for selfish reasons like not wanting my daughters to have to be encumbered with overwhelming federal debt in their generations…

Can you do a vlog on your view of RPAC? If you have, I’m sorry I missed it.

Greg
I really could not agree more with you. I used to keep my politics out of my business, but I have opened up about it here in the last year. I have seen more and more people that I thought were on the other side of the street from me, would agree with me. I did a weekly radio show, and I told everyone that would listen my views. Some would disagree with me, but they all respected that I put it out there and still continued to do business with me. There are those that would not, but really did I want to put up with those people anyway.

Our PAC s have been effective- especially when it came to keeping banks out of RE. Recently the first home buyer tax credit- and the new “Move Up” credit work for us- even if they aren’t in the best interest of the country in the long run.
That said, every housing recession I’ve seen is tied most closely to economics. Fed policy, which is supposed to be above politics, is directly responsible for the monetary policy- interest rates- within the US economy… They are supposed to be the wise arbiter-it was said for years the job of the Federal Reserve was to ” take the punch bowl away before the party gets out of hand.” …this time the party lasted too long and it got a little too screwed up.
I’m more worried about game changing technology- i.e. Google. They have a much better chance of disrupting what we do in 2010.
