  • New NAR Standards...or Same old, Same old?
    By February 26, 2008 - 5:51am

    It does not strike me as a New Nar Standard but the same old, same old from NAR. It is obvious by now that NAR's agenda is always based on direct pressure from 'Goliath' (largest real estate company). In every instance you will find that 'David' (small real estate innovators responding to consumers demands) is always the target of NAR's new standards of rules and policy. I wonder why? Hmmm... NAR has made the mistake of succumbing to this pressure from Goliath, and is in to deep with Goliath to say 'no more'. I find it ironic that NAR claims to be protecting the public in this case while on the other hand they spend millions defending against accusations by the Dept of Justice that they are hurting the public in many obvious other venues where they have and continue to do so. It is clear that NAR's agenda is never to protect the public or all it's association members, but to jump when Goliath comes knocking. This is NAR's agenda. However, what NAR does not see is Davids small stone (consumer expectations) in his sling which is flying directly on course to topple Goliath once and for all, as they will go the way of the dinosaur. Goliath can see the small stone coming straight between their eyes. They are simply to big to get out of the way, so they us NAR as their last attempt at saving themselves. When Goliath goes down, NAR will be right behind, as it will turn to David at that time, and David will not even recognize them. To bad....to bad....
