RPR will be much more than that for providing accurate information if completed as described. There is way to much duplication taking place with major Portals and the time has come for more collaboration, sharing of information, and accuracy. Google has much to offer NAR in helping to build RPR, however, they need to remember what business they are in. NAR has the membership, knowledge and motivation to build a resource that will transform our local associations, real estate experiences, and provide accurate information for the future. That's my take for now, however, I am sure you will hear more from me in the near future.
