missing

From patrick.net reader M.K.

Last time I visited Stockton (4415 Abruzzi Circle, Stockton, CA), I saw an entire row of houses for sale. But only one home was listed in mlslistings.com. I discussed this with a broker, she told me only 1 in 27 homes are listed in mlslistings.com. If you want to get the full list, you need to go to RE Max, Prudential Realtors, their web sites. The realtors play this game to avoid public panic.

Real Estate market in US is really corrupt, because of these realtors. Its heading for big time correction after 15 year run.

Every time i meet a realtor, just for fun, I ask one question, is this best time to buy a house? Many realtors say this is excellent time to buy. Many times just I cannot control my laugh for their answers (but I ask every realtor that question) . Next time I will send you video clips. I thought of asking when is the terrible time to buy a house? But my friend said, you should not ask such questions, it shows you are not interested in buying.

I'm glad to see that we have working people looking at this site.

I heard an interview with a Florida citrus grower who was decrying the new policy of going after so-called "illegal immigrants."
He said that he'd never seen a white person show up to apply for a job in his orchards.

The empire's economy will collapse if all these people coming here for work in the jobs we largely don't want, are asked to leave.

The mlslistings.com is not the prime MLS service for Stockton. mlslisting.com is one established by bay area realtor associations. Contrary to general misconception, the mls is local and run by the local realtor association board, though many (such in the bay area) band together to save cost etc. That said today there are 572 listing for Stockton on mlslisting.com. When the sellers agent put listing on mls they can set if it can be seen on the local free mls site operated by the local service, if it can be propgrated to the national realtors association website, and if it can be shared with other mls. Can't say what a realtor does, they all seem to do what they want since they are independent. Generally they want to sell the home quick so whatever they think will do that they do - its not like they're all one mindset following NAR since they all are independent tryting to make a buck (and to most of them NAR is just something that collects a fee from them every year so they can call themselves realtors). And contrary to popular views they are not interested in the highest price for you (or the lowest price if you're the buyer) - they interested in getting the deal closed and moving onto the next, that's the way they make money (do you really think that few percent price difference means diddle to what they get out of that vs. what they get if the deal falls through).
