Who Really Makes the Money from all that the National Association of Realtors is In the Business of SELLING.. with YOUR listing of course...

Who makes money from Realtor Magazine, from the Realtor Associations that Pay for the Magazine, Who makes money from Electronic Keys, from REALTOR books, REALTORS® Accreditation's, REALTORS® websites, REALTORS® stickers - shirt - jackets, REALTORS® advertising in those magazines and on those websites, or how about Lowes - Dell and other companies that make deals to sell to REALTORS®, how about insurance company affiliations with REALTORS® , Relocation Company Affiliations, Who Makes the actual money from all these associations and the publicly traded companies that benefit from NAR.. what about Cendant, Realogy, Homegain and all those companies who really own each other and own part of Realtor.com - the National Association of Realtors is a Mult-Billion Dollar business built on Real Estate Illusions and is a Mega-Money Making Machine that reaches all sectors of Society and it is done on your dime, your blood sweat and tears and offers you NOTHING in return.
R
One might say wow NAR creates lots of jobs, every sector has a hand in it. Well NO these builders, companies of all kinds that get work within the "Realtor" system do it out of necessity, they would have these same jobs even if NAR did not exist, the only difference is the GREED at the TOP of NAR would not get a piece of the Pie.
R
NAR is not necessary, Real Estate Agents only join because they are forced to. NAR says that it is Choice, but really if you don't join you have to come up with forms, you don't get access to the secret MLS Cartel Data, and the REALTORS boycott your real estate for sale.. so you pretty much have to join.
R
But if NAR, the National Association of Realtors did not exist well then YOU the Real Estate consumer would get a better, more accountable service from your Real Estate Broker.
The affiliations, Clout, insurance, Special Interest, Big Money and E and O insurance that the National Association of Realtors has is very bad for the real estate consumer. If they were not such a Cluster.. a Powerhouse with all their "Pulling of Strings" ability, well then When the Real Estate Consumer proved Obvious Fraud, Blatant Non-Disclosure, Flat Out Lies and Silent Fraud well then the Real Estate Agent would be accountable. But with NAR behind them .. they simply are not held accountable and the System in Place firmly protects the "Realtor" over the Real Estate Consumer. And the Real Estate Attorney system in place goes right along with that.
R
STOP Using Realtor
Demand Accountability.
Do NOT support Mandatory E and O Insurance.
Hold Realtors Responsible for Flat Out Lies that RUIN your LIFE.

Pending Home Sales Rise for Record Eight Straight Months

"Washington, November 02, 2009

Pending home sales rose again, marking eight consecutive monthly gains – the longest streak since measurement began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
The Pending Home Sales Index,* a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in September, rose 6.1 percent to 110.1 from a reading of 103.8 in August, and is 21.2 percent higher than September 2008 when it stood at 90.9. The gain from a year ago is the largest annual increase on record, and the index is at the highest level since December 2006 when it was 112.8.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the momentum is understandable. “What we’re witnessing is a rush of first-time buyers trying to beat the expiration of the tax credit at the end of this month,” he said. “Home values will stabilize sooner rather than over-correcting. That, in turn, will mean wealth stabilization for the vast number of middle-class families and lay the foundation for a durable economic recovery.”

R
Folks don't forget the lies that Lawrence Yun told you that got you into this mess. Don't forget that the NAR President is quoted as Saying it is a Good Time To Buy, when the Market was obviously failing, it was in the news - the blogs and obvious on main street America but the REALTORS at the highest levels told you to Buy and Well you Did and now they are telling you FALSE information again to gain your confidence... they LIED.. don't Forget it.

Also NAR Statistics are NOT accurate. The MLS's I was part of had no way to provide any kind of quality control over the integrity or accuracy of the data in the MLS and this Data is what Lenders, Mortgage Brokers, Realtors, Appraisors used to Create a False Market that was destined to Collapse. But who cares the CEO's got Rich.. took the money and tucked it away, then when bankrupt and put their hand out begging your government for your tax dollars.
R
Now they are foreclosing on your life, when they should be reducing the amount of your loan, they got relief - YOU did not. They made money off your loan, they got a bailout - your stuck with your loan that they get to keep making money from. ENOUGH.
r
The Realtors, the National Association of Realtors has NO Credibility what so ever. THE National Association of Realtors is banking on your ignorance, vulnerability and the fact that you will believe them as the "Authority" - the "Higher Standard" when in TRUTH they are telling you Flat Out Lies, Making Stuff Up and Creating Illustions... NAR - the Great Real Estate Hoax.
R
NAR "Research" has no base in any kind of Reality. They told you false statistics for years, you listened, you were so confident that you PAID way to much for YOUR real estate, and now you owe hundreds of thousands more then your real estate is worth. Oh Well NAR is out to help you with Tax Credits and GOOD News that the Pending Home Sales are Up.. so Breath easy.. Time to Buy, Oh and Don't Forget to Use a Realtor.. that is the point of their Statistics, their Research, their Clout.. Right? R

NAR can tell you ANYTHING, how do you know if it it True or not? You don't? You simply believe them as the AUTHORITY on Real Estate, the "voice of real estate" because of their CLOUT, their Propaganda - Billboards - Ads and because they State their Statistics and Research so firmly.. yet in TRUTH the Political Agenda, Special Interest Groups, Lobbying and Suckering you into thinking you Need a Realtor... this is all to get you to Keep using Realtors so that the National Association of Realtors Billion Dollar Money Machine Keeps on Working.

Who Cares if Lawrence Yun lies or just gets the data wrong, who cares if NAR flat out lies or mis-reads data, they can always blame bad data or whatever.. no one holds them accountable even with news archives of them telling you to BUY just before the Collapse that they SURELY knew was coming and if Lawrence Yun did not know, in some fantasy land of delusion well then what Kind of a Chief Economist is He. Lawrence Yun, YOUR FIRED !!!

Get Realtors, NAR, the National
Association of Realtors out of Real Estate for Good.

R
STOP Using NAR members in your Real Estate Transaction. HOLD the National Association of Realtors accountable for the Industry Trends, Pending Home Sale Data, SOLD Data, and False Consumer Confidence they spew year after year. the National Association of Realtors is Lying to You, don't fall for it again.r

A bank bailout without REAL consumer relief is Bad Business, Fraud, a Blatant attack on the Real Estate Consumer,

Banks taking Short Sales, whereby they sell for less then the Loan to get the Real Estate off the BOOKS, but they won't offer this Price to the Owner because it is Illegal.. .. this is Unethical, a Stranger, an investor can get your home for 30 to 60 percent of your loan but you can't - why is this. If it is law and well mortgage fraud if you do it then why is it not mortgage fraud that the Lenders blatantly did this to you in the first place.
R
They allowed false appraisals, they allowed values to come in at 10% higher and well keep adding 10% and OMG you got 100 percent then 200 percent .. gee I don't know think it would lead to a Collapse? Think that the Real Estate Consumer should be the one to pay for their Stupidity, Fraud, Lies, and Corrupt Greedy Behavior. No Way. Don't Believe any of the Greedy Fools that got the Real Estate Industry into this mess and NAR is at the TOP of the HEAP....

PS. It is NOT a Good Time to BUY unless your getting 50% off of what the property was listed for a Year ago. (This Excludes Lakefront Real Estate) Yes Sad for Sellers, but Lenders, NAR, Banks, and the DEPT of Justice should be Lobbying and enacting laws to get Sellers out of those Liars Loans, those Loans they got based on the lies and false consumer confidence of NAR and those Loans that are NOW way more in "Pay Off" then you could possible Sell your Real Estate For.

Housing Tax Credit Working, So Keep Momentum Going, NAR Urges Congress

"Washington, October 20, 2009

Consumers are just starting to see the first glimmers of a bright future for the housing market and the overall economy. It’s up to Congress to make that glimmer a reality by building on the momentum created by the $8,000 home buyer tax credit.

One of the key ways to do that is for Congress to extend the home buyer tax credit, said National Association of Realtors® First Vice President Ron Phipps today to the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee during a hearing on “The State of the Nation’s Housing Market.”

“The data on the present home buyer tax credit show that the credit has had its intended impact—sales have jumped in recent months to a projected 5.1 million for the year and housing inventory has been trimmed, thus stabilizing home prices noticeably,” Phipps said. He also pointed out that each home sale generates approximately $63,000 in additional economic activity, providing a tremendous economic boost to the national economy.

“But it is a fragile recovery, and now is the time to build on home sales momentum by extending the tax credit throughout 2010 and expanding it to all home buyers,” he said. The present credit, due to expire on November 30, cannot help new purchasers now who write a contract today—they won’t be able to close before the deadline, and will lose out on the credit, said Phipps. “Without congressional action now, the market and our national economy may freeze again—possibly as soon as this month.”

Phipps called upon Congress to take action on a number of additional fronts to strengthen the recovery. First, make the FHA and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan limits permanent; these are set to expire on December 31. “Maintaining current loan limits would ensure that families have access to low-cost financing to purchase homes and can refinance problematic loans into safer, more affordable mortgages,” Phipps said.

In addition, Congress should continue federal government involvement in the secondary mortgage market. “Without the government’s involvement in the secondary mortgage market, market participants will have no incentive to reach out to lower income, creditworthy consumers. We must ensure that the housing market works in all markets and at all times, and that mortgage capital is provided to all potential and qualified purchasers in a way that promotes sustainable homeownership,” said Phipps.

Congress must also adequately address:

• The lack of liquidity in the jumbo mortgage market;

• Tight credit in the commercial real estate market;

• The Home Valuation Code of Conduct’s unintended side effects that are hindering sales;

• Increased funding to help FHA upgrade their technology and for Congress to ensure that funding be included in the final version of the FY2010 appropriation for HUD;

• Administration incentives and uniform procedures for speeding short sales under a new Foreclosure Alternative Program; and

• The potential for significant spikes in interest rates or disruptions to the flow of mortgage capital as the Federal Reserve unwinds the mortgage-backed securities purchase program to ensure that this does not happen.

The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. "

Lies - Lies - Lies - It Never ends with
the National Association of Realtors

Ok so First of all we know FOR SURE that The National Association of Realtors is NOT Really the Voice of Real Estate, they have just convinced Most of You that They are.

Next, Well NAR should NOT be Urging Congress, the We the People should be actually getting decisions made that REALLY benefit the Real Estate Consumer.
R
This Tax Credit Thing, Well it seems good to Many, but really it is just a NEW way to gt buyers into bad loans. These Credits are used as down payments in some cases right, so the lender uses this illusion as a way to say hey buyer you have this NOW let's get you into that house. This way lenders can get some of those foreclosures off the books and NAR can start fabricating statistics that the HOUSING market is getting better when in REAL-ity, houses are going for 50% if that, many banks cannot even give houses away.
R
Using a Tax Credit as a down payment, talk about illusions. NAR pushes for Tax Credits and now buyers use it to get into houses they cannot really afford and the Cycle Starts ALL over Again - you Lose.
R
Big Interest.. Banks Win - NAR wins - your excited because you think you have home ownership, however, the real value is not REALLY there and your buying Their Illustions.

Blah .. Blah .. Blah - GET the National Association of Realtors Representatives OUT of Congress, they push their big fat clout around and they are not pushing what is really best for consumers. People in the Real world of real estate are losing their home, losing equity, counties are doubling taxes and Debtors, otherwise known as home owners are left paying off debt that is way more then their home is worth due to a False Home Market Created by NAR and Greedy Lenders...
R
They talk about lack of liquidity, this is Sick really, why not reduce the owners debt and let them stay in the home as an Owner, not a Squatter and NOT a renter. Many are staying their full legal limits anyway and not paying their payment. Why not cut a deal give the homeowners a break instead of banks sitting on properties they can't move or banks giving them away for half price to OTHER PEOPLE.. why not give this Respect and Curtisy to the Homeowner?
