Dear Nick, As angry as we are with NAR and company, we can't overlook the fact that there are clearly stated rules that we agreed to abide by regarding the use of the word Realtor. These were given to us along with NAR's code of ethics and all the other regulations we must follow. As for registered trademarks, I've just regeistered a domain name and it took me a year to do so. There are all kinds of policies and laws regarding infringement, and my suggestion to you is to find another domain name which does not include the word "Realtor". As for the use of the acronym "NAR"...if it's not registered or trademarked you should be able to use it. But beware, NAREP (National Association of Real Estate Professionals) is a registered trademark. I hope I helped clear this up for you. Bonnie Clark
