Has anyone visited the "Christian Real Estate Network"? www.hismove.com

What do they do different from other Realtors? Ask buyers and sellers to pray before signing?

A great agent provides terrific service to atheists and persons of all faiths.

Considering that there are probably more false Christians than pure ones (don't even get me started about child-molesting priests) who is it exactly that will be certifying the holiness credentials of members of the Christian Real Estate Network? Would I like you to refer me to a Christian agent, loan officer, appraiser, etc.? No. Just refer me to someone competent who will dazzle me with great service. I don't need to know his or her faith.

I went to that traveling sales extravaganza with Zigler and Guliani and Powell recently...or half of it, at least. I had to leave when I was told that only Christians could be successful. However, I can see that people would sometimes prefer to know the religion of their agent, so good on the hismove people.

I know of one so called "Self Proclaimed" Christian Realtor in my area. He generally puts down other agents by saying he is bringing "Honesty and Integrity" to the world of real estate. The only problem is he's a loser. He overprices constantly, and winds up NOT selling his inventory, therefore lying to his clients, or in the least misleading them as to price, probably because either "God" told him to, or because he is "buying" the listing... and lets them down later..

As far as I'm concerned, I'm more of a Christian than some of these hypocrites out there.. How dare they try to define what a Christian Realtor is? How dare they try to use the Lord's name to make a buck? God, I even see some of these "New Way" churches spewing out Podcasts nowadays... ! It really is ridiculous.. As far as I'm concerned, this "Christian Realtor" crap is another marketing gimmick, and they use God as the "hook"...

Amen.

Those that excessively ware Christianity on their shirtsleeves, generally have little in the heart.

YOu don't supposed any of these folks ar using this as a means to project an honest, ethical image do you? I mean, shoot..if they are apart of the Christian Realtors Network then lack of integrity can't be an issue...right?

I have; the guys that run it are on another online forum I participate in

I'm ambivilent to lukewarm about such operations because their name implies (to me anyway) if you're not a member or endorsed by them, then you're maybe not a Christian.

Their motives are also not altogether altruistic and filled with Christian charity : And: BTW, calling or styling yourself a "Christian Realtor" is a blatant misuse of the word "REALTOR", a violation of NAR's trademark, and illegal; all obviously unchristian traits.

"Render unto Caesar..........etc., etc." :p

I think they're wading out into Fair Housing hot water.

That seems a little bit of a stretch to me.

They're not discriminating against non Christians; only offering to supply Christian Realtors to serve their needs. No FH violation there I can see.

Could you explain your rationale a little further???

Steering?

"Wouldn't you rather have a Christian agent that is more interested in YOU than in a commission???"

See? That above statement is on their first page of their website. So, in other words, if you are NOT a Christian Agent, and probably not a member of their "Christian Mafia", then YOU are EVIL! You are in total DISREGARD of ALL agency Laws that say you as a Realtor have to put your clients interests above yours, simply because YOU are NOT a "Christian Realtor!".. You are a SlimeBall, only interested in the commission!

See what I mean?
Thanks

There are some Christian networks in Austin and people seem pleased. I haven't heard of that particular one, but I have never heard anyone say they don't like being part of Christian networks or that there are scams going on.
