WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- A press release issued yesterday by ForSaleByOwner.com contained inaccuracies and misleading statements about its ability to place unlisted for-sale-by-owner information on REALTOR.com, the official Web site of the National Association of Realtors(R) operated by Move Inc. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080923/NARLOGO) NAR and REALTOR.com are setting the record straight with the following clarifications: -- The settlement agreement between NAR and the Department of Justice made no provision to allow unlisted properties, such as "for-sale-by-owner," to be posted on REALTOR.com. -- ForSaleByOwner.com does not in any way enable home sellers to advertise their home on REALTOR.com without broker representation. Every property on REALTOR.com must be listed by a licensed real estate broker. -- REALTOR.com has not authorized ForSaleByOwner.com to resell REALTOR.com's Showcase Listings Enhancement package. -- There is no relationship between ForSaleByOwner.com and REALTOR.com. -- There are no unrepresented homes on REALTOR.com - every property on REALTOR.com must be listed by a licensed real estate broker, and unrepresented properties would not qualify to be submitted to a REALTOR(R)-owned and operated MLS. REALTOR.com(R) has asked ForSaleByOwner.com to issue a retraction. ForSaleByOwner.com did not discuss in advance the statements in their press release with REALTOR.com(R) nor did they request or receive permission to use the REALTOR.com(R) name in their press release.
