No More Drama and Hype: Known Facts on RPR
[UPDATED 11/20/09: More facts added.]
Earlier this week, Reggie Nicolay (@ReggieRPR), the Director of Social Media for the REALTORS Property Resource, LLC, wrote:
I happen to agree 100%. Also, a commenter on one of my earlier posts by the name of Kris Goodfellow wrote:
Rob,
I’ve got to say, that there is much in the way of speculation and little in the way of “facts” here. DOA, really? That’s pure conjecture. Marty got a standing O today from the 2000 leaders from every state and local associations. In the big broker’s session, the comments included “WOW!” and RPR was compared to Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.
I might be just an old fashioned, ex-newspaper journalist, but I’ve got to say that a year this post is going to look as silly as the “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline. Tell the story, man, don’t try to be a fortune teller.
So let’s say I agree with both Reggie and Kris.
My take is that you kill drama and hype by showing the facts, not by calling questions and opinions “drama and hype”. So in the interest of moving the conversation along, and also to emphasize once again that I am no opponent of RPR, I have put together all of the facts as I know them with sources, along with questions about what we do not know. This way, anyone who is interested might be able to discern for himself what is real and what is drama.
