SDR, I have no doubt you are a great Realtor, and I would contact you if I were looking to buy in San Diego. It was just the implication of the statement that irked me- it seemed to imply that all a buyer had to do was get a Realtor and then sit back feeling that they are being looked after. I just meant to point out that with sales as slow as they are, the horde of new Realtors who have not yet established client bases are getting desperate, and people should watch their own backs rather than simply trusting the Realtor 100%.
