Thanks for reminding me of Wannanetwork Steven. They had slipped my mind when I crafted the post.....and you're right, they will all be facing the questions, sooner or later. Stefan

Bill Quoting a 1998 report is tad old don't you think? ;) Interesting is that the savings detailed in that report has not, to the best of my knowledge, been confirmed or denied by another major report since then, or has someone? That said I do agree there are significant savings and improvements to be had in the home buying transaction, and far less has been done than had been hoped. With regard to your comments about a National Buyers Database and the NAR Strategic Planning Committee... I am aware of significant steps being taking by different parties regarding both above initiates and we will be covering both topics extensively in the 2009 Swanepoel TRENDS Report that wraps in 45 days. You will be excited about some of the inititaives ahead...
