If you could ask Lawrence Yun one question, what would it be?
11 Mar
Posted by VAR []
If you keep up with the real estate blogosphere’s most widely read blogs, you probably know that Lawrence Yun, NAR’s Chief Economist, has been constantly under fire over the past year. Not only does Dr. Yun take heat from many in the media for NAR’s rosy economic outlooks and the continual downward revisions of forecasts, but the criticism has even spread to REALTORS themselves. Recently, some have noticed that perhaps Dr. Yun is presenting more realistic projections and reports. They cite NAR’s new research area (complete with an RSS feed), and a few new reports from Dr. Yun that present forecasts that resonate with the rank and file member’s view of the market. Are you seeing this shift? And if you could ask Dr. Yun one question, what would you ask?

29|Mar|2008 9I’d like to know how Mr. Yun stays on top of technology. In particular – what are the top 2 sites he visits each day? Also, does he see NAR using podcasts in the future to reach either its members or the general public? Finally, is there a particular real estate blogger he subscribes to who stays ahead of the curve, so to speak!
