This is less a post than a plea. Over on my Arizona Homes blog I’ve been posting some excerpts from e-mail conversations with Dick Gaylord, incoming NAR president, and Frank Sibley, Senior VP for communications.
Frank has told me that the mandatory fee for NAR’s Public Awareness Campaign has been there in the past. I don’t recall seeing it before and, being me, I don’t hold on to paperwork lik dues statements (not bright, I know.)
Can anyone with their old dues statements verify?

First time I’ve noticed it, but to be honest, I don’t usually pay a lot of attention. I just write the check. I have no other choice.
And I don’t save past statements either…

I’m just motivated enough to put off these feedback calls to search through my files for you. Checking.

That didn’t take nearly long enough. Now I’ve got to go back to work. Being organized can be a terrible thing.
2005 dues have a $20 NAR public awareness assessment.
2006 dues have a $20 NAR public awareness assessment AND a $10 TAR public image “investment.”
There’s a yearly $30 RAPAC voluntary contribution as well that I skip – but you have to subtract that from the total as displayed. If you pay the amount they say is due, it includes the voluntary RAPAC stuff.

Well, I’ll be darned …
Feel like Morpheus just handed me the blue pill. Ought to add that to a blogging seminar somewhere.

Okay, not that part … the clever “blue pill” line.
Oh, hell … don’t go there either.

LOL the blue pill. 1999 is over Jonathan. 🙂
Trust me, we’re all being milked like cows to pay for these wonderful advertisements.
Look on the bright side though. This money isn’t being earmarked to bribe political figures to support keeping banks out of real estate brokerage.
Sorry, bribe is the wrong word there. I’m just to lazy to look up the right one though.

Maybe its been noticed because the ‘amount’ of money we’ve been willing to pay sharply increased. It’s the same as knowing your daily coffee at starbucks costs $2 yet your tab shows $3.50 plus an addition 77 cents for the water.
