On March 24th "Good Morning America" aired a segment called "What your broker won't tell you" with Barbara Corcoran of Barbara Corcoran Inc. in New York City. In this segement Corcoran made comments verging on slander throwing appaling and untruthful statements around. Her remarks have gotten many brokers and Realtor members up in arms. One angry broker has sent out letters questioning Corcoran's credentials saying that the statements she has made clearly contradict the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Realtors. With the uproar caused by realtors, NAR President Thomas M. Stevens has asked the producers of ABC TV's "Good Morning America" for equal time to correct the misleading segment.

What remarks did she make? I missed that interview, do you have it on tape? What issues was she addressing regarding brokers and information that is not made public?

I'm curious too of what exactly she said. Do tell!

Well, whatever was said obviuosly upset many people. I do not see anything wrong with giving those people an equal amount of time to defend themselves, especially if the segment was on a TV show as well-known as "Good Morning America"! I would also love to see a taping of the show, as I have not heard anything about it before this! I wonder what brokers could be withholding that would make so many people angry!!?

I would have to agree with you Las Vegas homes! Whatever went on air, apparently made some real estate professionals very unhappy

My Las Vegas real estate broker and I were discussing the segement last week, and she was fuming! I did not see it, so I am waiting to do so before making too many judgements!
