Re: The NAR Letter

December 21, 2007

As previously posted, Slamwire received a letter from the National Association of Realtors regarding our use of the name “realtorclix”. I wanted to take this moment to let you all know that we are planning on making significant changes to the site (not just limited to name changes). These moves have been in the works for a while, and although we were waiting to release them, looks like we will go ahead and do them now.

For the record: We 100% disagree with the N.A.R.’s opinion that Realtorclix.com violates the any trademark on the word REALTOR, but it has been in our plan to reinvent the site for some time, and to fight this point would provide nothing more than a moral victory for a brand name we have left behind.

For those interested, the letter can be read here. (pdf)

Thanks for your support, more information to come…

To address those that are questioning:

Yes, we did receive a cease and desist letter from the National Association of Realtors today for using the name “realtorclix”.

More will come on this soon. Thanks for all your support.
