Trying to Understand Ed Zorn's VOW Argument
When is a Virtual Office doing public marketing?
As I mentioned when I published Ed Zorn’s guest post, I have tremendous respect for him and for his opinions, even if I disagree with them. I think the best way to learn is through debate and discussion, and there is no one better to present the other side of an argument than Ed Zorn.
Frankly, I don’t know that I disagree with him on most of his statements and arguments. Most seem like something that the reader can and should evaluate for himself.
But there is one argument that Ed raises which is simply puzzling to me. Again, I don’t know if I disagree, or if I am simply misunderstanding something. It has to do with his characterization of the virtual office website (VOW).
Because the VOW is so central to understanding the post-MLOS (Multiple Listing Options for Sellers) policy world, I thought it worth digging into and seeing if I am understanding the argument correctly.
This may get heavy into legalese and boring analysis. But that’s why you come here. So let’s get into it, with the understanding that I am not your lawyer, and none of this is legal advice.
