I just went to the Huntsville Association of Realtors and talked about getting addresses for the public. They basically told me that it would be best if I could speak with the agents that don’t want addresses shown and try to work out something directly with them, and then bring it to the board. So, I’m going to attend the last Membership Meeting of the Year on 10/21/08 to bring it up for a vote again and see what will happen, but I’m not exactly sure how I want to approach these other guys. Once they find out what I want to talk about, I seriously doubt that I will be given the time of day.

Aside from that, I’ve been reading the NAR v. DoJ settlement from May 27th, 2008 regarding the display of information on agent VOWs (Virtual Office Website). By no means do I have a “legal” mind, but when I read it, I can’t help but believe that it specifically states that addresses must be provided unless the seller requests otherwise. If any of you want to read it, CLICK HERE FOR THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS LINK and tell me what you guys think it says.

Under “May 27, 2008″, read the PDFs of Proposed Final Order and Exhibit A. Don’t worry, they’re not long (about 12 pages each, doublespaced).

Any feedback would be great.
