Bad Data – An Open Letter to the Boulder Realtor Association
by Osman Parvez
Back in 2012, I contacted the Boulder Realtor Association (BARA) to let them know their statistical data had a pretty big error. Here’s the email I sent and BARA’s response (link).
The data error led me to drop Broomfield from my regular monthly reports. I couldn’t in clear conscious continue to publish market research that was based on a flawed data set. I’m now starting to put together my end of year report for 2013 and the damn data error still persists.
I just sent the following letter to the Boulder Real Estate Association (BARA). I really want them to step up their game, so it’s now an open letter…

We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
