Ok I think I have a taste of what it feels like for a music artist to go platinum or for a movie to be a block buster. recently I posted this post Should I just stop paying NAR and it almost instantly generated a 100 comments within hours. I think I probably hit a hot button for Realtors in these difficult economic times. It appears that many Realtor have been questioning the value of NAR and were waiting for someone to be brave enough and say it publicly for all to hear. I am pretty sure that I am off NAR's Christmas List with my last post.
You see, I think we are all extremely frustrated with them because they supported President Obama's stimulus fiasco. Interestingly enough, now NAR is starting to fight the admistration because of the new changes that will be instituted that lessen the mortgage interest deduction for those that make more than 250,000 per year. You know the majority of small business owners that provide us with more than 70 percent of the jobs in the US. Yeah, that is a great idea, penalize the small business and then expect something good to come from that. I am sure small businesses won't make any job cuts and will just deal with the loss of profitability, Yeah that will happen.
The Apathy on our parts must stop now. We need to get really loud, really quickly! President Obama, CAN YOU HEAR US!!!!! We have 1 million plus in our organization and we each have 100 plus people in our sphere of influence. Do not toy around with our livelihood, start doing something that will actually be effective to help turn a really bad market around. Just in case you were wondering, Raising taxes and spending more money on government waste is not the road you should be traveling. I really hope you are listening because I can assure you that we will win this fight if you decide to go to battle with us.
Sincerely,
