Hat Tip to Jay Thompson <\/a><\/p>\n

OK, here’s the Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE: According to Mr. Brunner CEO of Virginia Association of REALTORS, he has talked with the general counsel of NAR and there is NO relationship between ForSaleByOwner.com and REALTOR.com. Ms Janick apparently as well told him that there are NO unlisted properties on REALTOR.com. <\/p>\n

I want to make sure that we provide accurate information (which has been difficult in this case).<\/p>\n

With that in mind and IF that is true then much of this post is now irrelevant.<\/p>\n

We still have no official word from REALTOR.com saying that this press release was not accurate. (Would have made getting the truth out much easier.)<\/p>\n

I am literally too P.O.’d for words. I have long considered REALTOR.com an enemy to the REALTOR. But this is a bridge too far. Whoever did this at REALTOR.com HAD to know what they were doing (IMO). <\/p>\n

For them to allow FSBO’s onto REALTOR.com WITHOUT being on the local MLS shows CLEARLY who these @##%#$%’s are. They are no different than any other interloper.<\/p>\n

My message to the folks at NAR on this one is short and sweet:<\/p>\n

“You’d better come down HARD and FAST on this one… or this will make Bastille Day look like a picnic. And you know what? That might not be a bad thing.”<\/p>\n
