REALTORS® Attacked in New York Times, Newspapers This Week
Was Report a Conspiracy Created by Newspaper, Bank Interests?
A guest column in the Opinion section of The New York Times appeard on June 17 by Robert Litan, Senior Fellow with the Brookings Institution. A quote from The New York Times article:
“Congress should fix this clear structural conflict of interest by empowering the Federal Trade Commission, with its statutory mandate to protect consumers, to oversee the National Association of Realtors.

A good recap of the week's developments is detailed by Realty Times columnist Blanche Evans.
