ANYONE who licenses in Arkansas has a vested interest.

Ask them to place in the REAL ESTATE LISTING and/or REAL ESTATE CONTRACT a default statement saying the information concerning financing and concessions paid to the buyer will be made available to Realtor Members as a normal course of business during their practice of Appraising in the Multilisting Service or in the office of the Realtor upon request. If the person wishes to opt out of that, then they should be required to sign a separate document stating that they evoke their right under Gramm-Leach-Bliley and do not wish this information to be provided to appraisers.
Folks, this is our best shot to get concessions and financing back into the MLS... Go for it. It needs to be done before April 15, 2010. Any NAR member with better language or who wishes to support this proposition please feel free to drop the ARA a line...
