60 Minutes Does Not Do Real Estate Agents Justice!
In case you did not get the letter from NAR president, Pat Combs, I have included it here below:
Dear Fellow REALTOR(R):
I am disappointed and dismayed at the biased story that "60
Minutes" aired on Sunday evening. I want to let you know that
we've been working to stay on top of this story.
One of the most difficult challenges we face is educating
the news media about today's real estate industry. There's
no better example than this "60 Minutes" show. For more than a
year, NAR worked with the producers who put the segment
together and offered several spokespersons to be interviewed
for the show, including myself. Yet, NAR's voice was
strangely and noticeably absent from the segment though CBS
gave time to two critics who disagree with our policies on
the display of listings on the Internet.
At times, NAR and REALTORS(R) have often been the subject of
less than accurate news coverage. Your association and its
professional staff is making every effort to get the
REALTOR(R) message out to the news media. The result is that
only a fraction-less than five percent-of the vast news
media we receive is negative.
We encourage all of you to contact CBS:
(http://go-to.realtor.org/t/LSJ6C/52A9C/T3/D4TQDQ )
to voice your concerns -- maybe have some of your satisified
customers do the same.
Thank you for your support.
Pat V. Combs
President
