Re: 'Industry mourns loss of Robert Bruss' (Sept. 26)

Dear Editor:

Bob Bruss was a brilliant, humble man who always made time to mentor and encourage others.

Dear Editor:

In my opinion, this is nothing new. Multiple sites have attempted to do this, but the reality is these sites are only as good as the users.

Trulia, Zillow, Realtor.com and Homeseekers -- just to name a few -- are already out there.  more...

Re: 'Don't forget to ask the customer' (Sept. 11)

Dear Editor:

As a broker/owner in the real estate arena, I continue to be amazed with the closed-minded approach of "critics," as you have so kindly referred to in your article. I appreciate your real-world, real-consumer opinion, and find it a refreshing reminder to all of us that as the consumer becomes more educated we as Realtors must as well.  more...
