Blanche Evans Hammers the “Benefits” of Realtor.com

Blanch Evans, the Senior Editor of Realty Times, unloaded on the new “benefits” Realtor.com is offering agents.

And I for one, think her opinion is spot on.

Wow, now we get a whopping FOUR photos for free! Puhlease.

Evans ends her editorial with:

Realtor.com isn’t bringing any game. They need to come up with something better than four free photos, and quick.

No doubt…  an upcoming revamped interface on R.com may be good for consumers. But as the “Official site of the National Association of Realtors” is seems like there should be something of value for …..  Realtors…….

• 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.
