RT @DRPnet: #nar09 The MLS folks can not see the benefit of NAR because they fear the loss of their cheese. Sad display of turf protection. #
RT @CRTweet: RT @anazaroff: #rpr project will not be successful without mls' data #nar09 [some mls will not survive, & that's OK] #
@ReggieRPR what room? in reply to ReggieRPR #

@cvillenewscom There is far too much micromanagement in the bill. I'm not saying reform's not needed, but to specify treatment is absurd in reply to cvillenewscom #
