Kudos to Frank. More transparency is sorely needed regarding real estate listing descriptions. Nothing is more frustrating to buyer agents or customers than showing or viewing a home that is much different than described in the listing. The Real Estate Web Critic www.RealEstateWebCritic.com

One more reason why NAR does not do us justice by allowing Realtor.com try to upsell us on 'Enhanced' listings with more photos. Clearly, the public and Realtors want more photos and allowing a fair amount of photos (without an extra charge) as a basic service should be a minimal requirement for Realtor.com.

Just another hypocritical move by NAR. Every issue of the Realtor magazine has a plea for members to oppose banks getting involved in real estate. It's another misguided use of member's funds (along with the 'Market is Good' PR campaign nonsense). I doubt this was this is at the top of any agent's wish list of things it hoped NAR would accomplish in 2008. There are two clear things that NAR could do to better use funds--1) Leverage its large membership to broker affordable health insurance plans 2) Provide free designation education to members. -Real Estate Web Critic
