NAR dues to increase? At the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Mid-Year Conference, a vote will take place on May 14th regarding the potential 50% increase in NAR dues for the Realtor Party Political Survival Initiative (RPPSI) in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that opened up political funding to private corporations and associations. When asked if dues will ...

After a four month process, Move, Inc. (Realtor.com) and the National Association of Realtors have formally amended their operating agreement, having completed an 8k filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Spineless Cowards at NAR Scandal.com
Here is a link from an email I just received. The people writing at this website http://narscandal.com/ may or may not have something worthwhile to say. But there is pretty much nothing they will ever say that will get any applause from me. Why? Because they go WAY out of their way to hide who they are. Maybe it isn’t ...
NAR Needs Major Education Reform to Preserve Our Industry
This is a follow-up article to my recent post about the 10 things I Wish They Taught in Real Estate School. The response I got to the article has gotten me to thinking about our industry at large and some of the disparity between the industry image that NAR projects and the reality of how Realtors are really perceived. Take ...
I’ll Take The Blame, Will You Take Some With Me?
…but this isn’t about pointing fingers. When I became an agent, I thought I was insignificant as far as the larger world of Realtors® went. Seriously, who was I compared to the juggernaut that is the National Association of Realtors®? Heck, who was I even in the San Antonio Board of Realtors® realm? Or even just my broker’s office? An ...
Good Grief- The National Association of Realtors’ Gravestone
NAR’S Gravestone. The National Association of Realtors this week amended it’s trademark policy to allow the use of the Realtor logo on personal head stones. While NAR has sometimes allowed this policy, apparently some monument companies were reluctant to chisel the logo onto a marker without written permission. It certainly begs the question on whether that hammer and chisel should ...
“Mr. Stinton, Tear Down This Wall” – Is This The End Of The Cold War?
This week in history… I watched the TV with great interest when the Berlin Wall came down. I had been in Germany three years previously and stood in front of it. I had my bags searched by East German guards as I crossed “die Grenze.” I listened intently as our guides told us about the mines floating in the Spree ...
Success In My Campaign To Committme
I’ve been committed. Some of you may remember my quest to become a member of some local and state committees in order to one day work towards a position on a NAR Committee. Of course, I was able to skip past those steps thanks to NAR’s recent decisions to involve some of us that hadn’t quite reached the peaks of ...
Their Real Estate Revolution is Dead, Ours Has Just Begun
Let’s Go Back Two Years Just over two years ago, the real estate world was rocked by several startups on the west coast. Fueled by an overheated and deteriorating market, disruptive business models began to take shape and focus aim at the traditional mainstream real estate industry. It was difficult for any of these disruptive ventures to attack individuals, or ...
Is NAR Moving In The Right Direction? Am I?
A goal is reached. If you’ve been around AgentGenius for awhile, you may remember my post “Join the Committme.” After the Google/Scraper debate, I was quite frustrated that things went the way they did and I made a decision to try and work to move into some committee work on the local and state levels in order to get my ...
Join the Committme.
What do you do when you feel you’ve had enough? Do I really need to publish the links again? Unless you’re on a remote desert island with no internet access or an agent who really doesn’t care much about your future, you know what links I’m talking about. Oh alright, one more time and then I swear I won’t like ...
