A plea for NAR’s help

In an ActiveRain blog post Monday, SABOR member Clark Niblock penned an “urgent” — and dramatic — request for help from NAR’s leadership team.

“The San Antonio Board of Realtors is in a significant crisis,” he wrote.

“The San Antonio Board is being shaken to its core by allegations, counter allegations, innuendo, implications of retribution and bullying, unkind back room whispers, nasty social media exchanges and the sad likelihood of a SABOR officer leadership coup.”

“The situation is dire. Lawyers have been hired and lawsuits seem a very real possibility,” he added.

Niblock said he had “lost confidence” in SABOR’s staff under Shields’ leadership and wondered why the situation did not go to mediation before initiating a removal process.

He requested that NAR attend the April 5 meeting and offer its “leadership, counsel, advice, concern, influence, and intervention to stop this war of destruction at our board.”

“I know of no legitimate reason for either one of these individuals to be removed in this bizarre, unprecedented act that appears to violate fairness and due process,” Niblock added.

For her part, Shields responded, “[Niblock] is one of 10,000 some-odd members and he’s writing his opinion. I imagine we’re going to see opinions from both sides as this goes forward, so that’s basically all I would say about that.”

Everything should be transparent; if they have nothing to hide why not present it?

I have experienced this in Oklahoma City and it is not good for the memebership not the public image. Sounds like outside help is needed.
