As you alluded to, the types of people who jump up and down to be NAR committee members are not going to give you honest feedback and probably have very little experience selling real estate in this century. When you then dump $25 million dollars into the laps of 3 Realtor.com types and tell them to "go make some magic" you are in trouble. IF the RPR Team had spent half as much time calculating cash flow as they have tweeting and re-tweeting each other's breathless paeans to the awesomeness of RPR... and each other... there might be a glimmer of hope.

They still lack a clear concise message- they seem a little too enthralled with the technology and their evasiveness has cast a large and heavy veil of distrust and fear. Brian- I absolutely concur!

Like Nasa taking over the public library-will land a realtor on the moon by end of the decade. I think I also noted it might become Nar's Waterworld while Rob Hahn was predicting Civil war. RPR is still a great concept. I haven't been following up on the execution. Thanks for this Brian Good luck to all involved in RPR I truly hope it is a success.

I have been very vocal about getting NAR membership educated on what RPR actually means to the agent on the local level. There has been very little offered out to the membership with the exception to Blog posts and other Internet articles. This means less than 10% of our membership even knows what RPR is. The other problem is silence on the part of local Association staff and leadership. They need to get with the program and educate the troops locally. I think it is a huge mistake for the leaders in our industry (those who contribute to make it better) to sit silent on the sidelines and not take a stand. The alternative is Move.com and First of American. I believe this is the first step for NAR to take our business back with some opportunity to leverage our resources in the future. I'm going to stick my little neck out on the line and say shame on those who are not backing up NAR and the RPR program. We need to name it, claim it, and get busy presenting the benefits. ;-) Brian, I want to thank you for providing some questions and suggestions that the RPR program needs to address.

Just give me the marriage of thorough public data and MLS data in a killer UI (as shown in demo) and I will be very happy, regardless of who talks when or where.

With all of this build up by RPR, the back and forth banter and what appears to me to be a not so unique piece of technology will lead to one of two things: 1-"I can't believe how awesome this is." 2- "What a let down! This thing sucks!" I'm holding out for a biggee sized #1 but something tells me they will be out of fries that day. Great post Brian! One of the best posts I’ve read in weeks.

If they were more like small business they would have taken advantage of their market share and power long ago.
