The NAR and the realtors and real estate agents have made their money and had their time. Technology is moving and the new agents need to use it or it will dispose of them. They knew this was coming.

I am not a big fan of either, but I know the difference between good and just plan bad. NAR has warm bodies called Realtors that have a stake in the pricing being accurate for today's market. Zillow has some warm bodies too, but more to make sure that computer is plugged in. A computer that if it were not plugged in would do the consumer a huge service, by not giving out information that is at best; out of touch, out of date and moving in the wrong direction as the real market. This is not the way to inform someone of their property value or the property that someone is interested in buying. I will continue to go to Zillow to get a laugh and NAR to pay for a report that is written at the third grade level, but are accurate. Ask a Realtor if they know the difference and ask Zillow.... never mind, there is no one there to ask. If Zillow was to take over and start hiring warm bodies to give an accurate reporting of the market, then I would work for the best choice of companies. For now, I am a Realtor working for the best company, giving real advice from real knowledge of my real market area. Michael PS...my house is listed on Zillow for 850K and worth at best, 400K I wish Zillow would buy my house from me. I could give Zillow a good deal. NAR or Zillow?

Ask a Realtor if they know the difference and ask Zillow…. never mind, there is no one there to ask.
