Couldn't get the PDF to download other than page 1.

Two different Readers Digest takes on it.

From the DOJ

From NAR

I think I'll take the DOJ version. The NAR version just spins it so that NAR looks good (IF that's all you read!)

Jeez Erby,

In a statement today, NAR President Charles McMillan said, "This is a great day for real estate and for consumers. This compromise is terrific news for the industry. We are pleased with the settlement so that we can all focus now on what matters most -- stabilizing the housing market and helping the U.S. economy recover."

Now that's funny. The NAR is going to save us from the housing downturn and help stabilize the economy.

Maybe they're feeling a little guilty for pimping subprime mortgages, inflating property values, and bribing inspectors to blow sunshine up their clients' assess.

Now Chad, you know that's not true. They don't feel a bit guilty!
