It seems when I read the REM paper, often you are promoting a Realtor who has a second career.  I believe this to be upsetting to say the least. Not so long ago there was a national campaign, “Real estate is our life”. I guess this is not the case, nor the message you want to send out. Your paper often shows Realtors who have more then one career. What does this say to the Realtors who are full-time and this is all they do?

I for one do not have another career or a pension from a previous job. Real estate is my life, it is my career. If I don’t earn I don’t live.  I am a full-time Realtor.  I think your articles take away from people like myself who work at real estate full-time.  I understand your paper is intended for Realtors, but to me it just says real estate, make it your part-time profession.

I could kindly encourage you to think about the message this sends in the future.
