Today’s RE.net on the NAR

Jim Duncan posting at AgentGenius:

Engage us, please.What’s an organization to do to maintain relevance to its paying members and the general public? What if the current presidential campaigns ignored Web 2.0 (whatever that means)? The same thing that’s happening to the National Association of Realtors - they’d lose the public’s confidence.

Jeff Corbett on the XBroker:

In spirit of my experiences, any time a chance arises to take a swipe at NAR’s antiquated ways and membership, I’ll oblige.

. . .

Maybe one day the NAR will use it’s collective wisdom (and money from it’s million person army) to offer their membership some worthy advice and strategy instead of trying to protect some antiquated legacy.

Both are very interesting reads.

One  web savvy commenter  on the AgentGenuis posts says, “NAR should start a blog”. That she’s not aware there are several NAR “blogs” speaks volumes.  And not about her….

And a reply to that comment says, “NAR has a blog… and to illustrate Jim’s point; it’s interesting that as connected as you are to social media applications and technology that even you didn’t know that. I have to go search it out, and frankly after seeing it - it was a waste of time to do so.”

Kinda sad….
