As far as I am concerned SD big R and little r have already earned their commissions due to the GREAT info they present on this forum. Some other realtors hereon sometimes seem a little full of themselves. I am looking in an area of Calif outside of SD after being out of the country some time. The first realtor I contacted I made a point of asking some questions that would indicate a somewhat knowledgeable buyer. He came back with basically “Now is a great time to buy” and “My area is different”. And we wonder why realtors get a bad name.
