Watched Any Good Video Lately?
 The REALTORŪ brand means a lot to all of us at REALTOR.com. A good example of this can be seen in a new video that we produced called, "The REALTOR.com Story - Who We Are and What We Stand For." This video had its debut at the National Association of REALTORSŪ Association Executives Institute in Louisville last month. The video was created to promote some well-deserved pride for REALTORSŪ, and for REALTOR.com: the Official Site of the National Association of REALTORSŪ.
