They have selected RealtorGenius blog as its latest trademark infringer. The RE Blogdom is pissed. Holy crapola! There have some heated posts on the subject. But I prefer the comments.  Here is one of the best: Wow! Glad my dues are going toward stopping this heinous crime wave. Left unchecked, you could have brought down an entire industry. Pretty soon, everyone would be casually tossing around the term REALTOR at the xerox machine or in their jacuzzi or while playing frisbee on their pogo-stick. It seems that NAR is just trying to put a band-aid on their little problem. Cry me a river and hand me a kleenex. I think I need an aspirin.

The people most vocal on this seem to be Realtors and not the consumer. Is the designation REALTOR similar to getting an online degree for $19.95 only more pricey? You tell me. I'm not a REALTOR and have only been in the biz a little over a year. The other two team members are. I have yet to see one instance where being a Realtor had any influence. Of course, I can't go to the convention - maybe that's the big deal. Is branding yourself as a Realtor really worth a damn anymore?
