It is a well known fact that REALTOR.com has more traffic than any other real estate website on the Internet, but where are all the leads going? Our own MLS listings are automatically uploaded to the site within 24 hours, but we have to pay an extra fee to add additional photos, edit or enhance each listing and also pay extra to add a virtual tour. Where did we REALTORS® loose control of our own business? Have you noticed the ridiculous looking advertisements on our website? All REALTORS® and contact information should be represented on the website equally without regards to how much is paid by a brokerage.</p>
<p>NAR, Local Associations and all REALTORS® need to take a good look at this website and start working to improve on our image to the public.</p>
