Agreed. The Home Inspection transaction is too short to see Realtor for their true selves or antics. On longer transactions, renovation loans, where they are the actual client or giving their buyers poor advice, the view is horrifying. They also seem to have the buyers under a spell. One of the biggest problems is shopping. They have a knack for introducing the their clients to lower qualified contractors. They also use lower qualified contractors on their own homes and introduce material defects. They have successfully steered potential buyers away from FHA, VA loans. What little inventory they have has gone to cash investors to protect their pay check. The wolf (the Realtor) is basically guarding the hen house. The wolf, "I promise, I will not eat the chicken. I;m here to protect it."
I dont think the real estate market is going anywhere anytime soon. The insurance premiums are through the roof right now, HOA fee's are through the roof, taxes are slightly up and there are new fees associated with the buyer agent side comission, so with all these factors even the .5 cut in interest rate is really barely enticing people to sell/buy/
I agree and disagree. I think it has to do more with inventory than anything else. The rate cuts were also for the broader economy, and not just real estate. But the real estate marketing is moving in the right direction though. Getting a little better all the time
Thanks fellas!
Thank YOU
good stuff!
Thank you!

Yep! Agreed. But now the agents re the ones being removed from the equation. Albeit a slow start, their downfall hs started
