[quote=Rt.66]Fair enough Russell, I WILL be back to grovel if I’m proved wrong, your are wrong about that.
I do not know where you get your data from but I will be correct and the realtor I was debating will be hideously wrong, of this I am VERY confident.
Do you believe there is a phantom 2nds issue that will thwart a “significant amount” of the REO base? Do you believe the shadow inventory is “much” smaller than most believe, or is it probably bigger? If you want to appear all reasonable, but at the same time supporting the realtor then at least go on record agreeing with the realtor’s fallacies.
I never said no realtor ever contributes in a good way, from what I’ve seen SD Realtor (not to be confused with SDRealtor)is reasonable. All of them should be looked upon with extra skepticism no doubt, but completely unable to be reasonable? No.[/quote]
I don’t really care anymore about the whole thing. I care about real estate but not the debate as much. I agree with Rich ,who is head and shoulders above me and usually way ahead of me in all of this. I find out that sometimes he actually agrees with what I am thinking. That is that this is not the time to get to hung up on all of this because of intervention past and future. See my post to Peter earlier on this thread. It isn’t really worth hashing over, right or wrong.
This place is just functioning as coffee shop hangout for me now. It’s 20 minutes to the nearest real coffee shop and I work between posts.
By the way you are the perfect foil for the mean realtor, he and you are the perfect foil for the nice realtor. You just pitched a guy who is selling his ass off because he is nice compared to someone who acts like a jerk. Ask for a kickback.
