Bill Quoting a 1998 report is tad old don't you think? ;) Interesting is that the savings detailed in that report has not, to the best of my knowledge, been confirmed or denied by another major report since then, or has someone? That said I do agree there are significant savings and improvements to be had in the home buying transaction, and far less has been done than had been hoped. With regard to your comments about a National Buyers Database and the NAR Strategic Planning Committee... I am aware of significant steps being taking by different parties regarding both above initiates and we will be covering both topics extensively in the 2009 Swanepoel TRENDS Report that wraps in 45 days. You will be excited about some of the inititaives ahead...
The real estate market is tough and will remain so for many more months to come. Richard Smith, Chairman of Realogy was one of the first leaders of a national real estate company to announces cuts and office closings as far back as 2006. Obviously it wasn't enough as the company continues to battle the market. May this be a lesson everyone can benefit from. Get our own business in order, remove any non critical expenses, lock down the hatches and invest in your team and maximize your technology so that you will be postioned well for when the real estate market does turn. Good luck to everyone! Stefan Swanepoel Author of the annual Swanepoel TRENDS Report
