    if brokers must see themselves as a media publisher of meaningful statistics, then why aren't all brokerages providing the sort of statistics that consumers are now craving such as: Rising foreclosure statistics, percentage of inventory that's distressed, Case Shiller home values index (still falling.) Instead, consumers are visiting other bubble blog-type sites and getting what they crave. If the *new* brokerage media channel only says "it is always a great time to buy or sell" then the brokerage has missed the point. The 2008/09 consumer is slightly smarter than the 2006 consumer. They now know that it is not always a good time to buy or sell. If we're really talking about shifting to a consumer centric model, then the sales pitch has to go.

    broker/owners must be able to connect technology with profitability. "Brokers must begin to see themselves as media companies. Social publishing tools and new media platforms.." This all sounds uber cool. Show me the raw numbers that connect dollars spent on social media v. dollars earned from that cost. Redefining brokerage *can* happen....quickly...at a smaller company. Perhaps this is where we'll see the raw numbers coming from.

    Wondering what lenders and builders will do. If lenders won't take title insurance policies underwritten by Landam, then builders, Realtors and escrow companies will pull out of Landam backed deals. This could send them into a bankruptcy spiral. The company needs to come out ASAP and project confidence that all title policies will be honored.
