Very true
Zillow premier agents only work with teams in phoenix. That lead capture pimp hoe deal I mentioned earlier
Yes, I can be a pain, but I assume that is not unique.
This is spot on
Oh you mean 25,000,000 cents?
They hire their friend’s mailman’s sister’s T-ball coach to sell their house for and then complain that agents are overpaid when the guy doesn’t know anything.

But the same people saying that are using the bottom rung agents.. lol.i think that’s the point people are making in saying their should be more guardrails
I’m wondering if they want more guardrails or someone to get them more money on their investment. I’m getting the impression there’s a lot of buyer and seller remorse.i think that’s the point people are making in saying their should be more guardrails
I believe the NAR is kind of screwing its members. They seem to have diminished the value of the Realtor Title. They even pimp out Realtor.com and don't own that website; it is under license to NewsCorp, I believe. The consumer protection should be to use a licensed agent and Realtor.
I can't speak for others, but I'm just over the photo not matching the actual agent.
In all honesty I know my first agent was shit. I honestly really really hate firing people. I just did everything myself and moved on with life. But when I got a good agent I saw the night and day difference. I think people are saying their should be guardrails making those shitty agents non existent. I know I didn’t do any interviews, or ask any questions. Just wanted someone to get the deal done. Would be nice if all agents were at least decent and semi qualified. Maybe a license shouldn’t be so easy to get.
Very true. Tests should be more like the cwi. 3 parts and hard as hell
So in the end, you hired someone without any research or interview, to sell your most valuable asset, and surprised when they did a shit job?
Yeah but this place is riddled with “that one time at band camp” stories. Not realizing it’s their picker that broken. Explains how Dodge stays in business.
I think RDP'rs are just into the big tits.....
You had me at big tits
Actually it was a family friend which made it even worse. You can say it’s on me but your Industry is all screwed up and that’s not on me.
You picked a “family friend” to sell your most valuable asset without any research or qualifications and the industry is screwed up? Just making sure I’m understanding you here.

Seller pays the listing broker a commission. Listing broker, with seller approval, offers a portion to a buyers agent.
Happens all the time and yes my industry goes through it all the time with shitty contractors absolutely. Right around now they will all start getting weeded out. I have no problem keeping it real. I literally just agreed it’s way to easy to get a contractors license
shortly later she called back and let me know they took it and we just hit $50k over current market. I’m guessing she caught an earful of shit from the buyers agent 
Last house I sold I had @Tamalewagon wife Pam list, place was in north county and that’s in their area. Both Scott and Pam are always a pleasure to work with, me not so much, but they put up my my antics
The house was dialed, like OCD dialed, top to bottom, broke out all the parlor tricks and turd polishing skills. I knew my market when we listed, sitting on the nuts hand as there was no other product like it within 5 mile radius. Gated community, single story, clean as a pin, drought tolerant landscape, about as easy a house to own as you could ask for.
Full price offer came in immediately asking for 10 day escrow, Pam called me all excited and advised we take it, I asked her to counter at $20k over, she told me I was already $30K over market, and then said “as you wish” and made the counter offer for me at $20k over
That 10 day escrow was a whole other shit storm of activity she had to navigate, she earned the shit out of her commission on that one.
The rules of realestate are, there are no rules
For sure, but the RE market in general is about as Wild West of a legit industry as there ever was. As I’m sure you’re more than well aware of at this point, every deal has its own uniqueness. I’m no real estate guru by any means, however I can say that I’ve enjoyed both the buying and selling side of it, sometimes realtors have been used and very useful, other times there services were not required.

Fortunately I’ve never had the experience of using a shitty realtor, it’s really too important of a thing to let a dip shit get in the middle of has been my thought
So I’ll close with this, if you’re going to use a realtor, use the best fucking one you can find
the agent when pale and speechless. She was reported but I never heard if she was dinged for it.
What I can't stand are the ( dishonest ) agents that ghost people when offers come in from buyers agents. They are trying to double end the deal and blow people off waiting for someone with no representation.
Happens all the time ( in So Cal ) and they should lose their license for it. I remember a friend setting up an agent who was doing that. The listing agent was not responding to their offer and ghosting them so they had the MIL call the listing agent saying she wanted to buy the house directly through her. The listing agent magically became motivated answering calls etc. When my buddy and his wife showed up to the meeting after the MIL they told the homeowner that their agent had been hiding offers
there are good and bad people in ALL industries.
Absolutely. My point was that it's very simplistic to state, "the seller pays the commission." It's much more complex than that and could be viewed differently by different players in the transaction. I was offering the buyer's perspective as an example.
This is precisely what has bugged me about some of the agent experiences we have had. We nearly fought with the agent on the listing price for the house in Reno, and she hesitantly listed at the price, telling us we were nuts. It still went above our "Crazy" asking price and way above the proposed price she suggested. The same boat, the house was mint, staged by us, and completely remodeled from top to bottom. Less than 30 day of escrow is a shit show, and I will be hard-pressed to do that again.Full price offer came in immediately asking for 10 day escrow, Pam called me all excited and advised we take it, I asked her to counter at $20k over, she told me I was already $30K over market, and then said “as you wish” and made the counter offer for me at $20k over
On the flip side of this I’ve been completely out of line with asking prices aswell. One of my dads buddies used to just walk up to chicks in the bar and ask if they wanted to screw, 9/10 times they said no, just some food for thought about the ask
It can happen but very rare. I had an agent accused of doing this. She was cleared but it was an absolute cluster F to get to that point. The DRE and local associations don't play. This type of behavior is not commonplace.What I can't stand are the ( dishonest ) agents that ghost people when offers come in from buyers agents. They are trying to double end the deal and blow people off waiting for someone with no representation.

I’d like to do some spec builds down the road, been thinking a lot about what would be the ideal product. I’m not a fan of big houses, and it seems every few years my taste for esthetics changes, currently I’m really into barndo’s, I like the almost zero exterior maintenance aspect of a steel building.
If only we knew someone who had a bunch of land to build a barndo development on
Ironically I also love the Tata's. I need to touch base with you sooner than later. I've got to make a lot of decisions before august on housing that impacts decisions I'm going to make on my day job. Been loosely looking, but this water rights shit around here is a mess. I think you have my number but lets try to get in touch in the next couple of weeks, I need a house in CC preferably or very close, and you know the market lol.
In an ideal world I'd have a 3/2 bardo with a big game loft...and a 50' deep by 90' garage space....all metal, foam insulation, solar all over it, and mini-splits galore.
Not common but still happens.
