Above article talks of the extinction of Realtors, more or less other factors to consider as well. My broker pointed it out. I agree with the writer for the most part, everything's pretty spot-on....

I feel vindicated...
Rip-em off while you can.
LOL I will err....
What's a good trade? I like to work outside, with my hands. I don't know much but I'm a fast learner and a hard worker. I don't suppose calling up construction company's will warrant a job so easily....
I have an MCSE certification and my Business Management Degree, plus 5-7 years of professional office work under my belt, alongside working with a Refurbishing construction company (that job was cool)...
Just need something better as I persue music as well...

Anyone ever heard anyone say "I'm a slow learner and lazy as hell"?
Anyhow, when i sell this place i am going to do wut we did in seattle and go with a flat listing fee service. I don't like realtors, they smell like cabbage and eat their young.
That said I dont like phoenix cause he's a jesus freak and dresses like a homo, it has nothing to do with the fact that he's conman ie real estate agent.
Actually he's alright, i'd prolly use him to tell me how much my house was worth if i lived near him, then give him false hope that I was going to use him as my listing agent.

LOL No. But as Humble as I can be, what I said was true.
And I don't dress like a homo; I just wanted to impress you with my collared shirt. Hey, at least my jeans didn't have rips on em and my collar was folded DOWN!
