Dear Member,
In recent months there has been extensive coverage and discussion of foreclosures, auction sales, and short sales. Actual data on these subjects, however, is somewhat limited.
We need your feedback and observations on these topics. We are interested in your opinion regarding housing condition in your market. We would appreciate your taking about 10 minutes of your time to fill out the survey we have prepared. To access the survey click the following link or copy and paste the link into your browser;

The survey will remain open until Friday June 6, 2008.
At the end of the survey you will be given the opportunity to enter a drawing for 3 prizes of $200 each.
Your participation in this survey is confidential. Results of this study are analyzed at the aggregate, not individual, level. We appreciate your time and thank you in advance for your input.
Lawrence Yun
Senior Vice President, Chief Economist, Research
The National Association of REALTORS®
My emphasis in the bold italics..
No, I didn’t take the survey just for a remote shot at winning $200.
But I’d like to at least have had the opportunity, as promised!
But nooooo…. I took the survey, and was promptly led to a Zoomerang splash screen thanking me and offering a free survey.
But no way to enter the drawing…
Don’t you guys test these things before hitting “send”?
You’ve got my address, feel free to mail the check. Or just apply it to my dues.

[…] Yesterday’s post lamented the fact that the NAR sent an email asking people to take a survey. In said email, they promised you’d be entered for a drawing for $200. Alas, no such thing happened…. […]
