Realtor going to their second job:

I respect a woman who supports herself by being a stripper more than I respect a woman on welfare.

I have taken a page from the Globalists and shoot my Realtors after the deal is done so they can't enjoy their commission.

Agreed. Although, I still have a lot of respect for someone on welfare IF they're aggressively working towards self sufficiency.

37% of real estate agents in the US couldn't afford to pay their rent in October

Anytime you are dealing with someone who works on or for a commission , there is a built in conflict of interest between you and them.

flip the commission by giving % of saved from target price. double the rate.

they get 2-3% from sale price. make it 4-6% of saved.

Nice thought however your % may be less than what they can game you for.

Car sales, furniture sales, - as a consumer your goal is to get the item at the least possible cost and as a commission earner your goal is to make as much money as you can for yourself even it that means being unethical, not that such a thing would ever occur

A real estate agent once told me, "I didn't create the system". I guess this is how he justified his actions. In this business, most of it is lying/rip off/fraud and this is what is distinct about it.

Why do that? Just say you will not buy the house unless the price comes down to X. Then each realtor is looking at either 3% of the lower price or nothing.

A colostomy bag is worse than a realtor.
They both are shitty, but You can get rid of a realtor.

Explain further please?

Explain further please?

I thought the meaning was obvious. A woman who falls on hard times but pulls herself up even with "demeaning" jobs like stripper, Keno Writer, sewer cleaner and the like, is more deserving of respect that a woman who uses her child as a meal ticket for an idle life.

1,000%. I'm an angry dude, but I HATE my SIL. I'll be cordial with her unless she gets out of line. She did one time and I physically had to put her in her place. Love my nephew, but she gets free food, rent support, child support, dependent tax write offs, etc. She knows the game. AND we take care of her kid. I'm glad we're able. But 6 fucking DUI's.

Not with kids in the car but I'll have a couple beers nightly and more on the weekend. And yes, I've driven. In 24 years or so of having a license, ZERO DUI's. Two speeding tickets when I was young and dumb. 16 and 18. I can't comprehend how a person can get 6 DUI's. Then gets child support from the government because baby daddy is in prison. She makes up for her fuck ups by spending $150 on a pair of Jordans for a kid that will wear them for a year. I wish I had knocked her ass out in the aforementioned physical altercation.

Don't drink and drive.

If you killed somebody, you'll want to kill yourself. Just don't bother with it. Sleep it off in the car, or take a taxi, or walk. Imagine if you caused an accident, or even were just involved with an accident that wasn't your fault, and a child died? If you're intoxicated, you're fucked either way, and even if the accident isn't your fault, you could have possibly prevented it if you were sober.

I think they mean that if they are using a buyer's agent, their buyer's agent realtor's commission should be based on how much of a discount they can get instead of a set % of the sales price.

sure.

works if selling agent is a greedy bastard motivated by commission. easy to find out in conversation.

they get 2-3% commission as buyer agent. common in CA is 3/2 split lately. or 4.5 if they represent both sides. offer them higher % on anything saved over target price being top commission so they will be incentivised by you.

for example its listed at 220k. if you offer barely a 6% cash commission on saved from list price and you get it for 190, saving you 30k (minus 6% of 30k to pay out upon sale).

richwicks says

Everyone does. Not justifying it. It's fact. No one here being honest can stay they haven't drank and driven a car. Could be one drink and they leave 4 hours later and are 100% sober. Everyone that is cool drinking has drove with alcohol in them.

Unless you're full blow sobriety, you drink and drive. You can tell me you don't and I won't believe you. It would be a lie.

Got pulled over twice while drunk when I was in my 20s. Got let go both times. I had the same line both times. Can you guess what I told the officer to get him to let me go?

The second time was a real wake up call, I don’t do that anymore. Not more than one drink anyways and that with dinner. Mostly, these days, I don’t drink.

I've known a few VERY BAD real estate agents, as well as attorneys. Have you ever met an attorney that won't twist the truth, lie and connive in order to 'win' their case?
It happens all the time.

Believe it or not, I've known some honest real estate agents. I've also known a few (very few) honest attorneys, which, IMO, is even more shocking.

Patrick had a thread that stated that there are Doctors out there that will kill you if they can make money off of that. And guess what, there are Doctors out there that will
kill an innocent baby as it emerges from the womb ... all for MONEY.

Human nature is sinful ... and sin permeates into every single area of life.

So, you still pay $218,200?

6% of $30k is about $1,800. $220k - $1,800 = $218.2k.

Is that what you're saying?

I have to answer this "What is worse then a Realtor?"

A government employee is worse. Every. Single. One.

From the Department of Motor Vehicles, right up to an intelligence officer from any of the Alphabet agencies.

These are all NPC robots and they are dangerous and insane. I think ultimately, it's the Federal Reserve central bank that controls them, but they have no convictions or principles, they just follow orders. From teaching children critical race theory, to overthrowing elections.

Guess who gets blamed when home buyers believe they’ve paid too much?

Buyer’s remorse is likely to take on a more sinister turn in the coming months, as people who purchased their houses at the top of the market take out their frustrations on their real estate agents.

The realtors could not care less about disgruntled fools once the commission check is cashed. Those same buyers will call a realtor when they want to sell those same houses in the future.

This is not as black and white situation. Buyers lost equity on their purchase. At the same time, they’ve likely locked 2.5-3.5% mortgage rates vs. 6.5% now. Their mortgage payments are probably lower compared to buying now with the higher mortgage rates. Not all is lost at the moment.

Couldn't this same thing be said about most salesmen?

Government is to blame for almost everything you can think of. In the case of real estate, a very good argument can be made that the NAR is a monopoly. Also, it's regulations that have made real estate so expensive and out of sight for more and more people. Well, regulations and government fiscal policy.

My Real estate agent competed with me while representing me

My agent competed with me while representing me and submitted a higher offer, purchased the house and living in it. I just found out about it 6 months after it has happened. What can I do about it?

Do I have enough grounds to sue him?

It gets interesting, I was already in contract with the seller. After my agent submitted the higher offer, the seller cancelled my contract stating change in circumstances and delisted the house on mls. My agent bought the house and I confirmed it on public records page. The seller agent is fully aware of this. I basically had a crook for a buyer and seller agent. Both are crooks.

Why do people not like real estate agents?

Ours did literally nothing except sit in on the signing of the paperwork. The commission for the labor just didn't add up. Other buyers may have them going to multiple showings, but our simple deal should not have cost the same. yeah yeah.. the buyer paid, but we all know that money could have and should gone to the buyer/seller, not someone who just happened to be in the room.
