So we “leave” NAR……what is to be done regarding code of ethics and advocacy?
What serves as the MLS platform at that point?

There are other problems with the industry. We are getting so over-regulated that it is destroying the free marketing and service we offer. Three examples of areas in the administration surrounded by many others are odd bits of paperwork and functions that are incompetent with their objectives: 1) The use of Residential Property Disclosure. 2) Having the house appraised and inspected at the end and the middle of the negotiations. 3) Closing costs are useless, only serving to irritate the seller. These need to be leaned out of the Real Estate system ASAP with efficient and accountable processes in their place. Answer to Numer 1) Replace with an accountable process. 2) Have the house surveyed and a price given on the property before it comes on the market. 3) If the buyer needs the seller to pay the closing cost, the buyer should not be buying that property in the first place.
