I agree. There's nothing about this that a good Realtor should be concerned about. If you need monopolistic rules to generate your business, you're in the wrong business.
There's good Realtors across this country already formulating ways they can now offer a new range of services and turn this into a positive, and then there's other who are likely sitting around whining about it.
