Dalton Gets… Something… from the NAR

Jonathan Dalton has posted a series of three blog posts that outline some communication he’s received directly from both the NAR President and the Senior VP of “Convention and Communication” with regard to the mysterious $30 “assessment” that is popping up on realtor’s dues bills for the “public awareness campaign”.

These are required reading folks:

NAR’s Public Awareness Campaign

NAR and Me: One of Us Has to Be Out of Touch

Response from NAR About the Public Awareness Campaign

Edited to add: The NAR is telling Jonathan this assessment fee has been required in the past. It’s the first time I recall seeing it, but I don’t pay a lot of attention. I just write the check — I have no other choice.

Anyone out there  have an old statement they can verify whether or not this fee has been added on before?

The NAR’s Code of Ethics. It’s a Lengthy Tome

I put up a post on Bloodhound Blog today about the Code of Ethics.

My question is this:

Do we really need 7,373 words to tell us how to act?

Likely anyone reading here reads Bloodhound as well. But if not…

Thoughts?
