Why are Real Estate Agents Forced to Join the "Realtors Association" - Real Estate Cartel ?

this is Searched on my Real Estate Industry Whistleblower Sites.. Alot..

it seems that most believe they Have to JOIN the National Association of Realtors to be a real estate agent. Yet NAR will tell you that you don't have to Join, thing is if your Broker is an NAR member ... YOU have to Be... NAR -the Real Estate Cartel well they will boycott you, thrash you, not sell or show your listing if your not a member of the National Association of Realtors.

NAR Claims to Be the "Voice of Real Estate" in towns across our Nation and Internationally. NAR lobbys against consumers... yet billions of Dollars sure does buy public opinion so Real Estate Consumers Keep using Realtors, and Real Estate Agents KEEP getting backed into a Corner to Be "NAR" members called Realtors.

Many think that ALL real estate agents are "Realtors" and don't know the Difference. NAR puts the Propaganda out that if a Real Estate Agent is not a Member of the National Association of Realtors then they are NOT of a Higher Standard and they are somehow inferior in services they provide. When in FACT you have MORE protection in your Real Estate Transaction if you use a Non-NAR Cartel Real Estate agent. If you don't use their Standard "Protect the Realtor" Forms, and have their "Mandatory" E and O insurance to FIGHT when you prove Fraud, Flat Out Lies and Illegal activity.

If the Public, Real Estate Consumers in General don't know the Difference and NAR lies about non-Realtors ... well it is pretty hard to fight being a member if you want to succeed. NAR needs the masses to believe they need a "Realtor" NAR member or they lose their age, and the National Association of Realtors needs ALL real estate agents to believe the lie that NAR provides a surface to the Realtors when really your better off with your own web presence, and to NOT be a part of the MLS Cartel.... the Public owns the MLS and needs to DEMAND access...

Banks should NOT be kept out of Real Estate, NAR should have NO lobby power - using your money to fight for laws that hurt you... the real estate consumer... NAR should have No Clout in local decision making process.. they are an Association... suppose to be of a "Higher Standard" yet they in NO WAY hold Realtors accountable for the lies they tell or the Damage they do to the Real Estate Consumer.

Get NAR out of Real Estate and give the Power back to the Real Estate Consumer and the Honest, Law Abiding Ethical Real Estate Brokers and Agents who are fighting a corrupt real estate cartel with no where to turn to...

Real Estate Coverups - Do NOT Ever Think that the Powers that Be did not Know this Crash Was Coming.

You Pay the Price for What Lenders Knew all Along Was Happening. Lenders, Banks KNEW, there is TONS of evidence to prove this, and I saw it first hand time and time again.

Banks got you into this Mess, NAR went right along with it and encourage these "Home Values" with no data policing of ANY kind, and with giving constant false consumer confidence as well as pushing your Governing Bodies to create laws that benefited lenders to let more money out to you the real estate consumer while at the same time giving NO Consumer Protection What So Ever... NONE..

Home Inspectors were pressured to Make the Deal go or Get no Business and I have seen this state after state, it is not an isolated incident, nor is it one of the "Agenda's" that the National Association of Realtors Lobbies for, as all the rest of their Bullying and Clout that changes laws and creates rules for NAR to Keep it's unEthical and Immoral Monopoly on the Real Estate Industry.

In the Concept of "Making the Deal Go" there are few innocent parties. The Mortgage Brokers is often involved, their is sometimes magical "Comps" that appear for appraisals, there is new SOLDS that just show up turns out a buddy bought the property with barely anything as a down payment just to get a COMP, there are many factors that "Create a False Market". And NEVER ever believe that the Lenders did not know, they were well aware of this Bubble getting bigger and they were certainly positioned for it, though the public things they went bankrupt. However, if they knew it was happening all along, surely they hid assets, I mean come on....

Read the Following Quote from Ray Wilson Author of 'Bought Not Sold':

" Inspectors, appraisers, and even lenders who honestly expose "unattractive" facts about value or property traits get labelled as "deal breakers" and have good reason to fear consequent boycott. Recently (1999), DATELINE-NBC did an expose on inspectors under the thumb of listing agents. The problem is so severe that as of this writing (2/19/01) more than 4,500 appraisers have signed a petition to Federal authority for relief from lenders, real estate agents and others who exert pressure to force them to "inflate values" and "ignore deficiencies."

So Forced Inflated Prices, Forced Closings on False Values. And now YOU are losing everything. The Real Estate Industry has betrayed you and they did so knowingly, it was NOT a secret that this was going on, and now those who caused the mess, created the mess they get a bailout, they get to keep making a living off you. Different real estate consumer now though, too bad, but you guys are losing your home, so the real estate industry is selling them at less then loan value to NEW investors, NEW homeowners... and will not lower your loan, but give a loan of a lesser value to a new buyer.

And in the Drivers seat of this Horrible Real Estate Consumer Attack is the National Association of Realtors, who with Realtor.com owns interest in Move.com, HomeGain.com and tons more "affiliations" - meanwhile they petition your government to enact laws that benefit them and those they have these cozy affiliations with, including Cendant, Coldwell Banker, ERA, C21 and all those that are part of Apollo management Conglomerate that has a name change and financial makeover every few years... and also own part of Realtor.com and those same Revenue Streams. All these connected with Lenders, Mortgage Brokers, Websites and they are all after a part of creating a Real Estate Hoax to suck your money constantly all while you think that the of a "Higher Standard" and the "voice of real estate" NAR claims to be has got your back, is protecting you and actually cares about your best interest.
r
So When do Real Estate Consumers DEMAND accountability from those who supposedly govern and regulate the real estate industry?
r

When Do Real Estate Consumers get treated with respect and not just as a way for the Real Estate Industry and all it's parts to make a living feeding off of them with no Protection or Accountability provided to them in return for their money, confidence and constant business?
r
Knowledge is Power.

r

And once the Real Estate Consumer is
EXPOSED to the Truth and they really see what is going on,
and how they have been tricked, deceived, lied to and cheated
by the real estate industry and all it's parts, the Real Estate Consumer
will be Outraged, and in this the Real Estate Consumer will DEMAND
accountable and then and only then will the Real Estate Industry Change.
r
The Solution is a Total Makeover of ALL Parts of the Real Estate Industry and to Get the National Association of Realtors out of Real Estate. STOP using Realtors in Your Real Estate Transaction.
r
NAR is a Cartel, and currently it is almost impossible for MOST real estate agents to do a good real estate business without the use of the NAR data base. Add that to boycotts of non-NAR members and well even agents frustrated with the National Association of Realtors can't find a way to quit and still do business.
r

Time for Change.
