The bottom line is because this is a private site and we want to know whom is using our site. 

When most people register a user name, the user name will not have anything to do with their real name.  OKC REIA is a networking community and since we do not sell or distribute your information, there is no need for to hide or disguise your identity.  In fact, should you have any problem with your account, knowing your real name makes it easier for us find your information in our database (especially when you don't remember your user name).

Please understand that providing your real name is not optional. If you choose to use a bogus name and we recognize it as such, your account and IP address will be blocked from the web site.
