About 2 months ago, I was writing on why Realtors would be around. I think that MLS listings will be more available, but I believe that as soon as a member of the public was rooked out of money, people would start screaming for the government to protect them. I say that NAR, MLS, and Realtors should share the info (Point 2, Trulia, etc), but we still need to filter the "garbage" out.
Today, I recieved this email (as well as several in my office, and I bet across the country):

I know that lots may not bite on this. I know a few Realtors who may "Wonder" if this is a true letter. I also know that more savvy con artists will get better, and I know that some member of the public will bite. Some artists will list homes that people will "buy". With Realtors gatekeeping the MLS entries, we can offer some authenticity to the homes on the market.
