DC,
A couple points, you wont find me because I have no desire to found. My reason for being here is as pure as they come. I am here to learn and nothing else except have a little fun. I do not want nor need any more clients as I’m satisfied with how I run my business. If my goal was to make every last penny in the world I might do things differently but that is not my goal. My goal is to enjoy my time on this planet, share love and happiness with family/friends and give back to the community I so love. I ask questions and dont believe the BS that our companies feed us. I suspect you have been listening to the company line far too long. I know plenty of very good realtors that dont express their opinion and simply serve as a conduit of information. Unfortunately, it is not in my DNA to do that. If I see someone doing something that will harm them I prefer to put myself in harms way. 15 years ago I was on the boardwalk in PB and saw some guy steal a kids bike over the sea wall. He took off with the bike and the kid chasing him. The crowd of over 100 people separated like the Red Sea as no one wanted to get involved. I turned around and with no time to think about the repurcussion tackled him. That is what is inside me and I guess that’s stupid me who cant he watch bad things happen to good people.
The frustration expressed by SD R (who I often disagree vehemently with) is something I take to heart. The places he wants to live are occupied by people with the equity to ride out the storm. Most will not sell at market levels if they come down. He’s not looking for bad things to happen but rather for someone to be willing to sell at fair market value should he be able to afford it.
Blaming the media is ridiculous and while I think SD is a fabulous city comparing it to The City is equally ridiculous. SD is a very nice place and it fits my style perfectly but it is a large suburb not a real city. The amount of money coursing through the veins of NYC is mine boggling. I know as I worked there out of college and it is has a world wide profile that SD does not even approach. I’d never live there but I know better than to try to compare SD with it.
Occassionally, a realtor comes by thinking they might find some business here. Typically they are tar’d n feather’d then sent walking. If you want to learn, there are alot of bright people here to learn from. You have yet to contribute anything meaningful to this discussion but the door is still open. Stick around and contribute or disappear like many before you.
