In this time of financial crisis and and uncertainty, we need to stop and take stock of what we do have and to be thankful for many of the blessings that have been given us. We want to extend our Thanksgiving wishes to all.

Tight Competition is Bringing Out the Worse in Others

I had just received a notification from NAR about a press release issued by ForSaleByOwner.com.  I haven't seen that press release but my concern is that the information stated in that press release is misleading and false.  I have reprinted the statement from NAR below:

NAR: ForSaleByOwner.com Statement Misleading
A press release issued Nov. 11 by ForSaleByOwner.com contained inaccuracies and misleading statements about its ability to place unlisted for-sale-by-owner information on REALTOR.com, the official Web site of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.

REALTOR.com is operated by Move Inc.

NAR and REALTOR.com are setting the record straight with the following clarifications:

  • The settlement agreement between NAR and the Department of Justice made no provision to allow unlisted properties, such as "for-sale-by-owner," to be posted on REALTOR.com.
  • ForSaleByOwner.com does not in any way enable home sellers to advertise their home on REALTOR.com without broker representation. Every property on REALTOR.com must be listed by a licensed real estate broker.
  • REALTOR.com has not authorized ForSaleByOwner.com to resell REALTOR.com's Showcase Listings Enhancement package.
  • There is no relationship between ForSaleByOwner.com and REALTOR.com.
  • There are no unrepresented homes on REALTOR.com-every property on REALTOR.com must be listed by a licensed real estate broker, and unrepresented properties would not qualify to be submitted to a REALTOR®-owned and operated MLS.


REALTOR.com has asked ForSaleByOwner.com to issue a retraction. ForSaleByOwner.com did not discuss in advance the statements in their press release with REALTOR.com nor did they request or receive permission to use the REALTOR.com name in their press release.

One of the main advantages of using a professional REALTOR to market your home is that the professional has the access and knowledge on using those specialized tools.  One of those tools is the Multiple Listing Services.  Using the service isn't just being able to type in an address, price, and some small bit of information about the home.  There are specific guideline and real estate laws that MUST be adhered to.  Certain Fair Housing regulations must be followed.  Having just anyone going in and listing their home for sale without legal safeguards is just asking for trouble.

We have ALWAYS recommended that you approach all advertising with some amount of skepticism.  Unfortunatley, ForSaleByOwner.com is trying to present themselves as something that they are not.
