I have no personal stake in what happens. I have created a financial picture that does not depend upon income from selling real estate. I still stay engaged in the business but it really doesnt impact my personal finances
Now onto Redfin. They had a business model which couldnt make money in the best of times and I knew that because I understand the economics of real estate brokerage. Now we are in a very tough market and they are tossing out their business model and stepping into the traditional model. It was never gonna work.
How about your Redfin buddy? How is he doing? Still with them? Still in the business? Of course not!
Onto econprof who i have no issue with moving to Utah. What I have an issue with is him playing politics and throwing CA under the bus. he claims to have been an expert economist, contractor and investor. he was here long enough to be set for life along with future generations of his family yet he made one bad decision with SD real estate after another. I rib him because he just wants to blame CA rather than taking personal responsibility for his own decisions.
As for SDAR, I was never a member and never a fan of that organization. I have always stayed with the better run Board up in North County (NSDCAR). Even still they are all trying to hold onto their personal fifedoms across the country and Id rather see the whole thing consolidated nationally. But again SDAR? Not my problem
