The Association of Realtors Does Not Exist to Protect You.

Just Like any Publicly Traded Company REALTOR and all their associated Companies, Websites and Associates - are about making money, volumes and volumes of money. This is based on a whole lot of people and and a whole lot of income streams, however, the National Association of Realtors needs you to Keep on Using Realtors at the Local Level or the Whole Illusion Breaks Down. Realtors Use the Laws meant to Protect you against you.

Realtors lobby in large numbers, send mass amounts of letter and emails to to Government agencies such as the Department of Justice to STOP you from Selling by Owner Effectively, they Stop other Realtors from giving you discounts and helping you to win for a change, they lobby to keep banks out of real estate and for any little thing that will keep them in business and Will NOT benefit you or any REALTOR - ex-Realtor - Real Estate Broker or Real Estate Marketing Company.

The Folks, that try and help you to get a better deal with less drama are shut out, boycotted or getting policies and laws put into place by NAR and their troops that stop them.

When a Legislative Issue Comes Up that May Hurt Realtors but Benefit the Real Estate Consumer, they - the National Association of Realtors, the Local and State Association of Realtors put out the Call to Get all the REALTOR, NAR members to Fight for whatever it is that NAR wants, oftentimes NAR does this in the Name of what is Best for the Real Estate Consumer, however this NOT likely to Be True.

The Only Reason a Multi-Billion Dollar Company like NAR would Put out a Call would be to Save their Billion Dollar Income Stream from Shrinking.

rIf it was in the Best interst of the Consumer and this was Really What NAR was Fighing for the Real Estate Consumer then they would spend these millions that they spend on Lobbying on TV ads, Newspaper Ads and ways to Reach the Consumer and have them Stand up - Write Letters and emails with the Realtors, but that is NOT what the Call to Action is About... it is About NAR Staying in Control of You, and the Realtors on the Ground in Your Town want to Keep their jobs so they Stand Up and Do what NAR tells them to do.

How do They "Put out a Call" they send ALL Realtors Emails - Newletters - Association tell all the Members they have access to - they even give you form letters to email or send ( talk about anti-trust issues) and they Stand United to KNOCK you DOWN.

I have gotten emails that explain how the local association proudly went to Washington DC to fight to keep banks out of real estate, they fight to keep the MLS Data exclusively yours even though it is Your Data - it is Public Data Controlled by the Realtors... they lobby to keep it this way.

They sent us emails to fight against buyers rebates, and then newletters to scare us into NOT giving rebates and then they pushed for laws in our STATE to make Buyers Rebates even more legal then they were with the Previous Laws. And then a few months later when NAR loses its battle with the Department of Justice our State Laws Change and WOW Now all of the Sudden it is Legal for Me to DO what I want with my Paycheck.

Funny all these years they Kept Realtors from helping the Real Estate Consumer but Could not, or did not put a whole lot - if any effort into Checking MLS data for Quality Control, Stopping Mortgage Brokers from getting and giving kick back, stopping appraisers from having a copy of a signed by sell before their unbiased appraisal, Stoping Realtors from control markets - entering false data - stop fake sales .. so much goes on that they WILL not look at because NAR needs Realtors..

Why Not Lobby to Change the Laws that Are in Place that Really Do hurt the Consumer? Well There is No Money in that, STOP using Realtors.

Common Sense tells us that REALTORS are Advocates for their own industry, however, who has got your back in all this? Not Politicians.. I mean Realtors make BIG money. I sell One Large Ranch I make well over $100,000 dollars, I can afford - a REALTOR can afford to keep you in your place, and they use your own legislation and system of laws to do it.

They Know the Laws and Loopholes to get their way, they take classes on this stuff. They know the Protocol and they Know Just What to do in Order To get Things done to benefit them and their agenda which is making sure you believe that you need a Realtor when you Do Not.

They have meetings and trainings to teach REALTORS, and local association directors how to better Fight for What they want within the United States Justice System that is suppose to be there to protect you the Real Estate Consumer.

You are Not Taught how to protect yourself from the Realtors activities, there are no Consumer Classes to Train you on how to get things done on your own behalf.

Training Realtors to Fight - to Lobby to Stand
against Consumer Rights SHOULD be an Anti-Trust Violation.

I mean they all get together and conspire, they plan letters together - get their story strait - is this NOT violating public trust. Do you Know that the Realtors Unite against you like this, one issue over a million Realtors and You..

NAR and the Realtors in your Town Have more Political Power than you or ANY consumer rights advocate group could ever have and they are getting stronger. Realtors, some are quitting - New ones will join and through it all REALTOR will get bigger with online sites, stocks, Internet Marketing and Ad Revenue - selling books and classes - selling useless accreditations and making more money from YOU..
