The First Email

Author: Jay T. - The Editor

Posted on October 15, 2007 
Filed Under NAR - Legal

Spurred I’m sure from today’s post on the Inman News Blog, the first email to NARWisdom has been received:

Aren’t you afraid you are going to get slapped for using “NAR” in a domain name?

Well, we know they randomly slap some folks for using “realtor” in a domain name (and I stress randomly. More on that later…).

I’m not a lawyer, but if the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has a problem with this domain name, they best also have issue with the National Association of Rocketry, Nucleic Acids Research, NAR-anon, the hip-hop group NaR, and/or the Merrill Lynch S&P midcap 400 index fund that trades on the Amex under the symbol NAR…

In short, I neither care nor am worried.

  Yes, totally.

  Somewhat. They get it mostly right.

  Occasionally.

• About NAR Wisdom

  This weblog was created out of frustration. Frustration with the NAR. They seem almost completely out of touch with today's market, and the needs of real estate agents and real estate consumers alike.

  There is a lot of discussion out there in the real estate blogging community about the NAR. It is scattered across the Internet, and sometimes difficult to find.

  I'd like to have a spot where those thoughts and opinions can be collected, analyzed and discussed in an open atmosphere.

  Anyone is welcome to comment, or add a post. I understand some don't feel comfortable expressing their true feelings about the NAR with their name attached. Anonymous comments and contributions are OK.

  If you'd like to contribute a post, just register at the link in the footer. All registered users have "contributor" status.

  NOTE: This weblog reflects the opinions of its contributors only. We do not remotely claim to speak for the entire NAR membership.
