		<description><![CDATA[So you're thinking about putting your home on the market and moving to that condo/farm/new build/quiet neighborhood/high-rise/bigger home/smaller home (select one).  Even though prices on homes seem to be stagnant and you won't be able to get as much for your home as you could just three years ago, the deals you can get as a buyer after you sell your home seem too good to pass up.  In a recent article posted on FORBES.com, they make the case that going it alone has drawbacks that most potential 'For Sale By Owners' don't even consider.

		<description><![CDATA[Since the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) first unveiled the REALTORS® Property Resource (RPR) at NAR's Convention in San Diego this past week, I have been intently following and participating in the online conversation so that I can fully understand the breadth of this behemoth.  My conclusion thus far - - - This WILL change everything!  From how individual REALTORS® in the field do business to how local Association's and MLS's operate to how the consumer perceives us.  Trust me; this is the biggest thing to happen to our industry in last twenty-five years.  Nothing even comes close.  What is amazing to me is that most REALTOR® (my guess is 90%) haven't even heard of the RPR yet.  Mention the RPR and it's like watchin' deer in the headlights.  Most have no clue.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomblefko.com&blog=5527531&post=2061&subd=tomblefko&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late yesterday afternoon, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) announced that on November 12, they will unveil a new web site called HouseLogic designed to "provide home owners with a smart, simple resource to help them manage their homes wisely and to help REALTORS® extend their relationship with consumers through the entire lifecycle of homeownership."  While the specifics are still sketchy at this point, it is clear that NAR's latest foray into the world of online real estate is not just a simple blip on the radar screen but rather a major trembler within our industry.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tomblefko.com&blog=5527531&post=2028&subd=tomblefko&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
