Marketing ethics to Virginia Realtors

The Virginia Association of Realtors (archived: 2017) has launched a new site designed to market sound ethics practices (no longer available). I like the concept of marketing the value of ethics, but fear that those most in need of ethics training/primers/refreshers just might not care.

It has a blog, sort of (archived: 2009), that is clearly a work in progress.

What is the definition of a blog? Scoble has thoughts (archived: 2013) on the (archived: 2013) matter.

In the Charlottesville area, consumers (and I assume Realtors as well) can file complaints starting here (no longer available).

Update: I neglected to mention this site, intended to be an amalgamation very over-the-top version of every negative stereotype that exists about Realtors (archived: 2010).

Realtors in and outside of Virginia, what do you think? Consumers – your thoughts?
