I have worked for and with a lot of realtors. There are some that go above and beyond. Seen it first hand numerous times. That said I usually pass on jobs for realtors unless I have worked with them before. Shady business is very common.The biggest lie in real estate is that your realtor is in your side.

I’m gonna take a guess:
You don’t own, you rent from the government and taxes are the rent you pay.
Your house is an asset...for the bank holder. It’s a liability for you until paid off.

Started buying and selling RE in 1973.
I learned from agents I worked with if you use a female agent the better looking she is the worse service, even zero service you’ll get.
What confirmed that is when I was dating if the chick and her GFs were hot and agents all would be an absolute POS.
I don’t shit where I eat so I never asked out an agent I listed or worked on deals with.
Word. This doesn’t mean they are a bad realtor, they just want to finish the transaction and get paid.
This! and the 6% Commission. LOL...Remember, your agent is constantly trying to double end a deal. So they have THEIR best interests at heart. My friends that are REA's have so many stories to tell around the campfires. And its all about the sale listings. They tell me they could give a rats ass about Buyers. Because all they do is make them drive you around and waste time. When you get a sale listing, you KNOW its a done deal and the house will eventually sell. Money in the pocket.
Your friends are assholes. I would not ever let them represent you. You always advocate for your clients in their best interest.
Plenty of people in this business like your asshat friends giving the good people a bad name.
Not assholes, just honest. Im sure they are the only ones with those same opinions
There are plenty of terrible brokers and agents that give the good ones a bad rap. There are also bad clients that no matter what their broker/agent does for them the client gives them bad press.
It goes both ways.
Dick Video. Guess I don’t own anything since the IRS can come get everything.
LOL Biggest lie in Real Estate
- “Now is the time to buy” I recall agents on here saying that in 07 when things initially dropped 15%. LOL Unprecedented buying opportunities in Havasu, get in now.
- “ We have a list of people waiting for a house like yours to come on the market” I told the agent, “awesome bring them by, show them the house get a tender offer and I’ll sign a contract with you”. ...LOL crickets every time.
- “ We have a great home inspection and termite guy, very thorough, I’ll get you his name
Explain to me how most real estate agents add any value to a property? If someone wants to buy a certain house, they buy a certain house. With all the listing websites and information on the internet these days, all they really do is give you access to a house to see it in person. 3% buyer and 3% seller is truly absurd these days with typical home prices well over $500,000. It was relevant when home prices were under $100,000. Please tell me what a real estate agent is going to do in selling a house for $1,000,000? Most homes sell themselves. So you paid your agent to sell your home 3-6% depending if they listed it and found a buyer, or just listed it, or just found a buyer. That's $30,000-$60,000, title and escrow fees are no where near that price.
that sound governmental....the money is coming from the guy out bust'n his ass for it.... the house would be 6 % cheeper if not for RE fees....goes something like this... I need to net $****, so all the fees involved go on top...the bottom line is paid by the buyer....so what happens is this... the guy sells his house plus 10 % in fees....the net amount is not enough to buy his own house back....now he come out of pocket to buy the next house... that amount is up 10% from what seller just got.....so now if he tries to sell..same deal...and if he tries to go bak to his first house... the lost is huge....he now is backwards on 3 deals @ 10 % each....not to mention moving all his shit around which is now broken or lost...My brother has been in the biz for 42 years...insanely great agent. If he has a buyer they sign a buyers agreement with him...he is then working FOR them..but nobody has mentioned the seller pays the fees...the 6% comes from them...so the buyers are not truly represented in a normal transaction..I hope this makes sense.
I remebr back in the day, most RE agents where retired from some other job and did it as a supplement....now...everyone is jumping on the horse...I employ over 400 agents...with that being said, I believe that commissions will settle at 2% total in the next 10 years (1% per side). With prices at where they are, and technology where it is at, 5% is too much for most people to swallow.

HAHA! 2FF is a smart guy with a masters degree in trolling. I'm sure this video was thrown out there for the LOL's.
There are so many schleppers in RE biz it's pathetic. It makes it tough to look in the mirror and realize the guy online lumping you into the "they are all crooks" fell for the hot RE chick's BS or the douche bags sales pitch. All while you were trying to do right by them.
But then again we're taking about the same public who thinks Zillow is on their side.
There should be a mandatory online rule where you have to state what your profession is before you can bash another.

Having dealt with you personally when I was considering moving to Phoenix I have to say you’re one of the few good guys in the biz.
Sadly, you’re the exception and not the rule when it comes to agents. The industry would have a much better reputation if there were more folks like you working in it.
If anyone on this forum is looking for RE in the Phoenix metro area Cory is the guy the to go to.
