He does not venture into the spotlight often, rather he believes his biggest accomplishments are the talent he recruits and develops, so he gives all credit to those he's empowered.

What was that link meant to be to?
As far as I know NAR is cooking up a National MLS. What that turns out to be, I guess we’ll have to see.

I am not posting the link because I’ve yet to actually link it to NAR or our local board. I’ll let you know tomorrow.
I am more curious about feelings on the subject- what would be the point, what would we want it to look like or functionality. I personally think it is a no-brainer if we as an associtaion want to compete. But I’m curious what my peers think.

Mr. X says an emphatic no. I’ve barely gotten through hacking the local MLS! 🙂

I’m pretty sure this isn’t from NAR. I wrote about it on my blog a few weeks back and then followed up on it based on some comments pointing to an agent in Florida.
