Did you catch last Sunday’s 60 Minutes piece on the real estate industry? In what amounts to a 13 minute infomercial for a Seattle-based online discount brokerage company, CBS made the unilateral decision to interview opponents of “traditional” real estate agents, allowing them to make inaccurate, blanket comments disparaging Realtors. Other than a few select comments from one “traditional” Realtor (also based in Seattle), no one from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) appeared, even though they had worked with Lesley Stahl and CBS for the past year to prepare for the story and offered spokespersons to be interviewed. Our next blog entry will go into some of the things that were said - and our response.
