And then you've got your Truila...

By
Real Estate Agent with Bill Cherry, Realtor 0124242

I become more and more annoyed with the National Association of Realtors for allowing Truila and others top act, in many ways, as a real estate broker.

 

If I am correct, there are no recognized residential Multiple Listing services that are not direct affiliations of an Association of Realtors.

 

Yet, Truila and others are apparently licensed to use our services without being members and without being required to abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics.

 

And then through advertising, they make their service so valuable for the public's home search that they sell its use back to legitimate MLS members.

 

It's amazing.

and I agree with you! I am also amazed that Gary Keller rails about Trulia and Zillow on stage at Megacamp and then lets them in the hall to sell us stuff

Keller knows that he must pick his battles. Time for a real change in who represents us at the National level.

BILL CHERRY In my opinion, it is time that we organize and remove NAR as the closed shop that it is and force an alternative to this organization that no longer speaks to our needs.
