John Hersey asks, "I learned more about the policy of using the Realtor name in a url through my e-pro course and recently came across an agent in my area using it wrong.

John,

My experience indicated local boards don't care about this issue; however NAR does.

Send an email, along with the url to the following individual:

Mary Newill, Trademark Administrator

trademark@realtor.org

Let Mary contact them.
