I couldn't agree with you more. The problem is that I am bootstrapping this project and my son says he doesn't want me bagging groceries at Wal-Mart when I'm ninety. While I have done well financially in life, I have also had some major hiccups. I have learned more in projects that failed than I ever did with the successful ones. I am hopeful that consumers will come to understand the real value of PropBox so when it starts to scale, lots of people will want to invest. YC has turned me down at least 3 times. On your nameless question, I am willing to be named as the founder, but the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice have been battling the industry since the 1950s.[1] In one of the reports they published, I recall it was named the Butters Report, they interviewed cut-rate brokers, some of whom mentioned threats of personal harm, property damaged, a building set on fire. If people were doing that in the fifties, it could be much worse today. I don't want my developers endangered trying to do the right thing. I may be a bit over the top, but the real estate industry is a bit like a union. One cut rate broker recently called NAR a cartel, and they haven't found Jimmy Hoffa yet. I also am a low key person, and the culture we want want to build isn't around me. But you make a good point. I will take your suggestion under advisement.
