It's a LOT of work to do, for sure! I'm sure it keeps some people in their current brokerages because of the amount of work to do to erase all of the old information!!

Not that I would change brokerages, but I'd think that would be something I'd carve out a day to do, along with all the data broker sites and doing massive searches.  Of course, some places on the web still have my folks as being with Re/Max, even though they've had their own company for 20 years, so who knows how effective change requests can be?
