Update: There are only 5 out of 10 invitations left!
Have you heard of Dropbox? This nifty tool has developed quite a buzz lately, and after personally trying it, I can see why. Not only is it intuitive and simple to use, it could possibly become my preferred online storage for the future. See my review of Dropbox here.
Since I am a beta tester, I have been gifted with 10 beta invitations that I’d like to hand out to my readers. Rather than me just toss them in the air like a bouquet at a wedding after party, I’m going to try and get a little creative here.
Since most of my readers should be in the real estate field (or related to it), I thought it’d be nifty to ask a question. The first person to answer the question right in a comment under this post will get a beta invitation! Seems pretty simple; right?
I’ll post a question, then wait for the right answer in a comment. Commenters please be sure to enter your correct email address when posting as this is the way I will send your invite.
After I’ve gotten the right answer, I will post up the answer to the question, along with the winners name. Shortly thereafter, the 2nd question will be posted the following business day.
(Queue the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Music”) - I know; I’m dramatic.
Question 1
What date (month, day and year please!) was the National Associaton of Real Estate Exchanges officially incorporated on? Bonus points if you can tell me the initial membership count.
Answer: The National Assocaition of Real Estate Exchanges was officially incorporated on July 2, 1908, with an initial association membership of 1,646.
Congratulations goes out to Bob Zabor for being spot on his first try!
Question 2
In what year was the first Code of Ethics adopted by NAR?
Answer: The very first National Association of Realtor Code of Ethics was adopted in 1913.
Great job, Jay! Jay was the winner of the second Dropbox beta invitation.
Question 3
In what year was the National Association of Real Estate Boards officially renamed to the National Association of Realtors?
Answer: The National Association of Real Estate Boards was official renamed to the National Association of Realtors in 1974.

Question 4
What is the name of the National Association of Realtor’s second president?
Answer: The name of the second president of the National Association of Realtors was named Alexander Sacket Taylor.

Answer: The National Association of Realtor official internet site, Realtor.com, was launched in 1997.

Great job, Xjs! The next question will be posted tomorrow.
Now Xjs, your email is already a registered user for Dropbox. Since you’re already using it, then I guess we’re going to have to give the next beta invitation away a little later. I’ll have to figure out a creative way to do that.
None the less, thank you for answering this question!
