Oh and as to the article, you people sound like a bunch of of whiney union members.

As a consumer outside the real estate business, I know I have a real estate agent I’ve used in the past and will use in the future, and like all other consumers I really could care less if she paid money to be a part of your little club.

Changing the main url to move.com. These are not the actions of a company loyal to Realtors - they are loyal to big brokers and disenchanted shareholders. After blowing through half a billion dollars, these guys still treat the agents who handed them the keys to the nation's listings like a necessary evil. If the investors in move.com are paying attention – short it now! Dropping our name, ‘realtor’.com from a $50 million ad campaign. Changing the main url to move.com.

Shareholders want profit, and profit may be gained through competitive alliances and advertisements surrounding those listings that we as Realtors have worked hard to earn. Realtors to whom I have spoken don’t necessarily want their listings to be framed by ads that serve to diminish the quality of the property’s presentation.

It’s a delicate line to tread …
