I don’t qualify since I ended up buying with an agent.
But once again, we have a pro who thinks only other pros can determine whether a deal was good or not. The schoolyard taunts are funny but misplaced.

I think that people who stare at comp sheets all day probably are better at evaluating comps than those who don’t. But I would certainly be in favor of letting the piggs decide. And again I am fine with it being the case that non-representation was a good idea. I just want to see evidence.

Just how hard do you think this stuff is? If you think it’s hard, I submit you’re not all that bright to begin with–so your opinion is worthless one way or the other. If you think it’s easy but requires the all-seeing and all-knowing MLS, I’ve already dealt with that elsewhere: see the “cult” thread.

So if I disagree with you, then my opinion is worthless?
Not a strong argument dude.
I think that being an agent is easy.
It has a very low threshold for legal standing and very easy minimum qualifications.
I think that being good or successful at it is rather tough.
That is why Dave Baum (sdr), Adam Rappoport (SD_R) and Dan Cassidy (that’s me) are still in business and generally only have time to make friends (or enemies) online whereas a lot of the people we competed with a few years ago are in different lines of work.
Its not reasonable to say that just because it looks easy to do it is.
There are lots of failed restaurants based on that premise.

If you think people are being dishonest, then I’d like to know who you think is full of $#!t and why. If you can’t come up with anything concrete, then STFU and bring some data to the discussion like you did in the previous post.

I don’t think people are being dishonest I just want them to show their work.
I think that what looks like a good idea is often dependent on limited or skewed information.
However, if someone thinks they have a great deal without representation, I would like to see that and compare it to those who DO have representation.
I think that if someone is going to go on about how they have a great strategy (like working unrepresented or with the listing agent) they should show the stellar results they claim.

So dude, seriously, your best shot when I say to bring evidence is to tell me to bring evidence?
Sure.
What evidence do you want?
Weak, weak argument.
And you are telling me to shut the fuck up?
Grow some and learn to cuss.
