I wish they would pull ALL their advertising from ALL media as their ads are sophomoric and just plain embarrassing to REALTORS everywhere!  As for them getting political with it, just plain stupid.  Which explains their stupid advertising, I suppose.

Yes, Sue! I posted the screenshot of the tweet here in Q&A, which has since been removed and they have also since, backpaddled on the issue, saying they didn't mean the tweet. 

UNbelievable!

I heard that and I'm appalled... there is no room for political advocating by organizations such as realtor.com, if you ask me. Besides, it's very odd, as they are owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox network.

Debe Maxwell, CRS brought that up.  All these self righteous types, forget that  the dollars pulled out means that people may loose their jobs.  At a recent film festival, they pulled a Harvey Weinstein film and applauded themselves for their morals, and we said what about the residuals that the actors and others lost because of the film being pulled...very few people understand critical thinking.  A

Sue, they weren't advertising there in the first place.  Yes, I not only read it but I called them out on it.  They're "pulling" their (non-existant) advertising because Hannity said "Let's give him the benefit of the doubt" and "Innocent until proven guilty."

 

You should look at the twitter responses, lots of agents ripping them a new one and pulling THEIR advertising dollars over to Zillow.

I am not sure why this is described as a "political stance". Pulling your advertising from a show where the host defends the actions of a child molester is just common decency.

     Yes.  Realtor.com deleted their Tweet after it received over 1000 negative comments. 

    The problem is, the Public equates realtor.com with all Realtors.  Many of the comments were, "I will never use a Realtor again; I will sell by owner."

There is no room for politics in marketing. The public looks at Realtor.com as it is an arm of all of us and does not know the Realtor association sold us out and sold it.
