This is a group in desperate need of a Leader! My hunch is the person for this job would be found in the existing Real Estate Blogosphere. Not is a uber-corporate sounding monster.com ad. That's why many of us are in Real Estate, to get away from those types! Dustin,

And I think you are off big time on the point of them not being social. The lobbyists are very social. Teresa,

The expectations are ridiculous for those that have expectations, while at the same time, the presumption by the more vocal among the RE.net of impending failure and doom is equally ridiculous. A massive issue is being created over a simple job posting. And the notion that the entire city of Chicago probably doesn't have a person capable of doing the job is equally ridiculous. Dustin-

The opportunity, the vision, the possibilities - all can be seen from here, but I'm coming to see, based primarily on the silence, that those things may not be able to be seen/recognized from within the confines of NAR. I'd love to be proven wrong. I think that the reason the RE.net is putting so much emphasis on the position is they (we) see the potential of the position.

They don't want and probably wouldn't listen to someone like Todd, so he wouldn't be the right person.

When pushing for more social media at Move, I used to talk about how NAR put the FIRST social network online when they aggregated content from tens of thousands of agents and mixed them all up in what became realtor.com. Problem was that they let it hit a dead-end instead of letting users community through the network they had created. Ahhh..
