Athol Kay writes: NAR is Spinister

It is a must read…

Spin + Sinister = Spinister

Spinister: A presented research thesis so chock full of knowingly misleading information presented as fact to support a outcome desired by the person or group funding the research. Also it’s probably evil.

• 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.
