Industry relations….
NAR just sent out this message to its membership.
“NAR: We stand with those who respect our Realtor® members
NAR is joining a lawsuit filed by MOVE Inc., against Zillow and new Zillow Chief Industry Development Officer Errol Samuelson. In addition to NAR and MOVE, the plaintiffs include RealSelect, Inc., Top Producer Systems Company, and Realtors® Information Network, Inc.NAR’s relationship with MOVE and realtor.com® is based on a mutual respect for Realtors® and their efforts to bring online home buying and selling resources to consumers, and the defendants named in the lawsuit have not demonstrated that same respect.”
If Zillow’s intentions of hiring Errol and now Curt was to improve industry relations it sounds like the plan may have backfired. Time will tell.
Curt Beardsley joins Errol Samuelson at Zillow
Holy Shit Squared!
From Zillow:
Zillow Names Curt Beardsley Vice President, Industry Development
This is right after MOVE just announced they are filing suit against Zillow over Errol’s departure! This is basically Zillow telling MOVE to take their lawsuit and shove it up their ass.
I gotta say I like Zillow’s style, but it might cost them, on “industry relations”.
This is, as they say, “Going to the Mattresses“.
MOVE files suit against Zillow and Errol
From Inman News
NAR and realtor.com operator Move Inc. file suit against Zillow, Errol Samuelson.
“Move Inc. and the National Association of Realtors have filed a lawsuit against Zillow and former Move chief strategy officer and realtor.com president Errol Samuelson for alleged breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and misappropriation of trade secrets, among other claims”
Total bullshit if you ask me. MOVE needs to move on. The best revenge is success. Focus on that.
Happy Birthday Dave Howe!
Happy birthday, to “the hardest working man in the MLS business”!
