Keep in mind that *intent* goes a long way here...at least in my opinion...Speaking strictly for myself, there are plenty of people who run businesses that I personally wouldn't be comfortable running myself, but they do it in a way that truly attempts to create a win/win for the business and the customer.As an example, I know there are plenty of people out there who view rehabbers (like me) as the scum of the earth for buying low and selling high, and believe that a business like mine has no business (excuse the pun) making a profit.

Hello Bill,Ryan & Shawn hit the nail on the head (no pun) I am a rehabber from South Dakota & I also own my own remodeling company.

I think NAR and MOVE have to make some kind of a "MOVE" (pun intended) to stay competitive.Either way I think Zillow, or Trulia or the combination is destined to be acquired by someone else, such as a Google and become just a specialized layer inside Google Maps, ala Google Homes.

But new workers coming in are filling voids with bigger pockets (no pun intended).

@Brooklyn R.Is this a The Office pun?

Just play around with your options (pun intended, haha) and see what happens.

For marketing specifically LO's I use a message that mentions taking over payments, no equity, target people that bought in the last couple of years as their options (pun intended) are limited.

I think you're taking a good approach to learning first and keeping yourself open to different opportunities before diving in (no pun intended).

I will make sure to keep you posted (pun intended).

If not, you are not ready for the royal mistake (pun intended) that you are about to make.
