Ms Salem.... if you were a member of the board I belong to, your commission switching practices would land you in a world of hurt including sanctions, fines, and possible license action. On the other hand, if an agent is not a member, the commission listed on MLS is not owed. I just wandered onto this forum today, and I am disgusted by all of you ganging up on this guy because he apparently practices a different business model. All of you responding to him with your put-downs and boycott-type language sound ignorant and foolish. Indeed, Ms Salem, with your quote about becoming great? Shame on you and your hypocrisy! You probably call yourself a Christian too, don't you? Well, WWJD? By the way, I am a full service broker. And also by the way, why doesn't anyone on these forums know the difference between "their" and "there" and "your" and "you're". Collectively, your command of the English language is poor at best. I am beginning to understand why the public views the Realtor population just two levels above car salesmen. Rick, if you are committed to your business model, then do your own thing, and if you have a legitimate gripe about someone else's pratices, contact your state's department of regulation and licensing and file a bona fide complaint! You're better off focusing on doing what you do the best way it can be done, and ignoring the naysayers. Put yourself above the fray - after all, if you wrestle in the mud with pigs long enough, you will eventually realize the pig likes it.

Blue Sky Realtor Member Registered: 03/16/06 Posts: 13 Loc: Midwest	When I first entered this forum I assumed I would be participating in issues involving the real estate profession. I am beginning to see a pattern of certain participants getting a kick out of, and apparently feeding off of each others' insults to one particular party. This is not a professional forum. This is high school all over again. Do the other adults out there see this?

Paul Oaks Major Contributor Registered: 06/23/04 Posts: 3367 Loc: Central Illinois	If you had some experience with the forum you would have been exposed to Ricks constant rants and raves about NAR and how discounters are always kicked about and attacked. In fact it is Rick the discounter that is constantly doing the attacking. Read his posts before coming to his defense because he is really just a board troll!

Blue Sky Realtor Member Registered: 03/16/06 Posts: 13 Loc: Midwest	HOW CAN THERE BE A "DISCOUNT" WHEN THERE IS NO SET PRICE???? DOESN'T THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BAR REALTORS FROM DISCUSSING COMMISSIONS FOR FEAR OF PRICE FIXING??? THEN HOW CAN THERE BE A "DISCOUNT" IF THERE IS NO "UNDERSTANDING" (WINK, WINK, SECRET HANDSHAKE) OF WHAT THE "NORMAL" COMMISSION IS? "RICK THE DISCOUNTER"????? PAUL, PAUL, PAUL, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? IF HE'S A "DISCOUNTER" AND YOU'RE (NOT "YOUR") NOT, DOES THAT MEAN YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE "PRICE FIXERS"??? THERE'S A BATTLE BREWING IN WASHINGTON D.C. ON THIS VERY ISSUE. FASTEN YOU SEAT BELTS BOYS AND GIRLS. PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

Paul Oaks Major Contributor Registered: 06/23/04 Posts: 3367 Loc: Central Illinois	Blue Sky, Are you really that stupid that you cannot figure out my meaning or maybe you are just humor challenged. And Board means message board perhaps I should use smaller words for your limited intelligence. Quote: Originally posted by Blue Sky Realtor: Paul, don't you proof-read your entries?

Paul Oaks Major Contributor Registered: 06/23/04 Posts: 3367 Loc: Central Illinois	Now Blue Sky, You can calm down and take a deep breath and take the caps lock off. By discounter I mean a mentality. Those that can only compete buy charging lower commissions. We are not actually talking commissions as that would require the use of numbers and percentages. Kinda funny but so called discounters talk commission and fees all the time with their flat rate fees. Using your logic DOJ should start coming after the flate raters as price fixers.. Thanks for the helpful assistance with contractions but I believe they covered that somewhere during high school and college. Must be hell for you going through life with such a lame sense of humor.

Blue Sky Realtor Member Registered: 03/16/06 Posts: 13 Loc: Midwest	YOU STILL DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION PAUL - BOARD OR BORED? OR DON'T YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ON THAT EITHER? HOW ABOUT BUY AND BY? STILL DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? COVERED IT IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE? FEELING THREATENED BY "DISCOUNTERS" IN YOUR MARKET?
