MyREShow™ HUD Called NAR Misguided. NAR Defended the Gag Order.

Episode 7 of My Real Estate Show™. CEO Sandi Lyn Burnett and co-host Josh Ries, an Inman contributor, lead generation consultant, and managing broker, run through the news the rest of the industry is too polished to cover. HUD Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor's letter to agents accused NAR of misguided advice on the crime and school steering question. NAR fired back with a blog post defending its decades-old guidance and disputing HUD's gag order framing. Sandi Lyn and Josh break down why NAR has been lazy on training, why fair housing keeps getting used as a gotcha tool against agents, and the case that brokerages, not the federal government, should be the ones holding agents accountable.Plus a teaser for tomorrow's episode with Tim, the longtime ReMax agent who jumped to Real just before the acquisition was announced. And the bigger question: what is NAR actually good for now that they have stopped backing their local associations?Brokerage contact: [email protected]:00:00 Cold open and intros 01:46 Tomorrow's guest teased, the Real-Max acquisition jab 02:45 UWM vs Cross Country bidding war for Two Harbors 05:18 Consolidation and the trash taking itself out 08:39 Teaser for Tim, the ReMax agent who jumped to Real before the deal 10:40 Why Congress has egg on its face after the Anywhere Compass merger 13:14 HUD calls NAR's crime and school guidance misguided 14:30 Holly played last year's HUD video next to this year's 15:46 First time in 10 years the federal government openly told NAR they were wrong 17:34 Why the both-hands-tied approach hurts agents and clients 19:26 Fair housing used as a gotcha and the Forewarn app problem 22:51 NAR finally getting knocked down a peg 26:23 The real question: what is NAR actually good for now 28:07 How NAR could right the ship with free CEs and real training 31:00 Josh's grassroots ask: share the showMy Real Estate Show™ goes live every weekday at 12 CST.
