05/09/19: Consumer Federation of America's 1st real estate panel, 11:30-12:45pm
Have been away from RE2020 for two months but glad to redirect my attention here in time to alert fellow innovators and real estate consumer advocates to the Consumer Assembly in Washington, including their 1st real estate panel ever at 11:30-12:45pm today:

Some longtime consumer advocates have been exchanging emails with the panel moderator, Steve Brobeck, former, long-time Exec Director of CFA about the need to respond to #AgencyFraud:

Interesting to see the alignment of bullet points submitted to Congress nearly 20 years ago (in the link above) with current momentum generated by real estate consumer advocates and class action lawyers. It's been a marathon but we continue to hand the baton to fellow innovators who are ready to sprint!
