I don't know what you are talking about. We must be on different planets. Please go spend your time chatting with someone you can make a commission on. This is going no where and it is getting very boring

I HUSTLE my *** off for my clients because it's the only way I get paid! What electricbroker is advocating sounds like some kind of do-gooder hell to me. Some sort of quasi-system that is imposed on the marketplace with harebrained ideas of what "should" work. You want to buy a house and instead of having a professional hustling for you, you have to do all that crap yourself? Plus many if not most people are either scared of, or terrified of, blood and guts negotiations. And electricbroker had issues with Realtors at full commission- imagine the class of people who would work in the profession if there was no real money to be made! I have been impressed in my interactions with other agents so far in my career, both in person and on this and other forums. On the whole, they are an intelligent, articulate, skilled group of people who are the living example of hustle and hard work. Cut the potential to make some dough and quality of people would automatically go way down. -jeff Your view point is understandable. I have noticed that you spend alot of time using the free technology offered here. Do you have any idea how the site owners generate revenue off of this site? Do you think the site owners should charge to use this website? If they charged would you step up and pay or leave the forum? Just curious.

This is all about the MLS. If consumers were given access to the MLS to place properties and view sales data then it would be a whole different ballgame. That's what's it working toward. Information control is key and the NAR knows it.... and so do thier opponents. I hope I got the attributions right... some serious nested quotes there... ANYway, the above is just so misguided I don't even know where to begin. I mean, duh! Of course, if the MLS existed just as it does, and "the consumer" was given full access, it'd be great... for about a week, until us Realtors stopped paying for it, and consumers realized that there's a whole lot more than just access to information going on here! The allure of the MLS is exactly it's focus and restricted nature. People sell a home or two and get touched by the glow of the almighty MLS and want it to be for the people, by the people. But it ain't. You want that, put your house on Craigslist and deal with all the details yourself. C'mon, what are ya, chicken? Oh... turns out there's a reason to let professionals handle it, who are legally liable, and who do it for a living. The information is out there so that anyone could rebuild their own transmission, or fuel injectors, whatever. The tools are out there too. Why don't we all do it? Because any grownup has learned that sometimes it's just best to pay a pro. In the case of Realtors, the cost of the pro is built into the dang marketplace anyway!! This is a silly thread at this point. People want skilled professionals to help broker big deals. Period. -jeff _________________________ (541) 285-5492

I don't know what you are talking about. We must be on different planets. Please go spend your time chatting with someone you can make a commission on. This is going no where and it is getting very boring I'll say. Flame wars usually turn out that way in the end. When I asked "you don't qualify"... you said never to JUDGE a potential client. So in other words we should drive people around for months without QUALIFYING THEM AS HAVING THE MONEY TO BUY? I'd venture to guess 99% of agents know what the word "qualify" means. You don't?
