Facts about REALTOR.com
REALTOR.com, the dominant real estate site on the Internet: (this is NOT the Best Place for you - it has too many distractions ....)
Realtor.com is Said to Attracts 5 to 6 million unique visits monthly — twice as many as its closest competitor; and that this Accounts for 68 percent of all the time spent by viewers looking at all Internet real estate sites; and... Lists more than 2 million properties in the U.S. and Canada at any given time, making it the world's largest single source of homes for sale;
Now Who Cares, so what.. this does not Really Benefit you, the Buyer would find you without REALTOR.com and would find you easier. Realtor.com is MAKING money from you and using your money to do it.
Realtor.com says that they, Consistently ranks in the top 150 of all Web sites based on unique visitors; Again Who Cares.. this means NOTHING to you the Real Estate Consumer.
Realtor.com Brags that it Has business relationships with AOL, MSN, and the Wall Street Journal (among others) that direct traffic to the site; THIS is Bull, this means they advertise with them and USE your money to do it which makes them more money.
Realtor.com Brags about Hosting gateways for Cendant's ERA, Century 21, and Coldwell Banker franchises; as well as Prudential Real Estate, and RE/MAX. This is soooo very bad for you, it creates a Corning of the Market, a Real Estate CARTEL.. they have business "Relationships" that make them money and as I said, they use your money to do it... Your are, in a sense forced to do business with them, the Realtors.. Not Much Choice...
Realtor.com says "Key Provisions in the Operating Agreement"
The operating agreement negotiated more than eight years ago contained a number of important provisions ensuring NAR’s control over the content and operations of the site. Those provisions remain in full force today and continue to guide the relationship between NAR and Homestore (NASDAQ: HOMS), which owns RealSelect.
1. The National Association of REALTORS® owns and controls REALTOR.com. ( So, they are an Association, they own lots of websites, and companies, and they Lobby your government for Laws to Be made that benefit them so they can make more money from you.. They MAKE billions.. and push for laws, create advertising and huge campaigns to make YOU think you need them and that they are of a Higher Standard. And this GIANT - Money Making Machine is advising your government on what is best for you... this is Wrong on So Many Levels...)
NAR's subsidiary, RIN, also owns approximately 4% of Homestore's stock, and maintains two seats on the Real Select board, and one seat on the Homestore board. In addition to their fiduciary responsibilities to those entities, the NAR appointees also: ( They, NAR is HUGE - YOU LOSE)
Represent NAR and RIN’s interests in all matters pertaining to the agreement;
Assure compliance with all agreements with RIN and NAR, and report any non-compliance or other concerns to the RIN board and through them, to the NAR Board of Directors; and
Provide quarterly reports to the Leadership Team on all significant Homestore activities.
