Yes you shoot from the hip as you say… even though just about every reply you have put in this posting has your nice backhanded compliments… no I am not here shilling for clients as you have implied.
Our styles are different. When someone asks about selling a home on thier own, a FSBO, your response is that you could buy thier FSBO and then sue the pants off them. My response is yeah you could FSBO it but cover yourself with a real estate attorney. Additionally yes if you someone wants to just get on the MLS at a low price they can call Jeff Karchin.
I think that people should have alternatives whether it is someone like myself, an I Pay 1, a Help U Sell, or a full service brokerage like a Prudential, or the company you work for. Meanwhile your posts pretty much universally imply that anyone who is not a full service brokerage will be out of business in a slow market.
In one reply you will talk about all the extras a full service brokerage provides but when I ask you to break it down by the numbers you don’t really do that. In another post you talk about all the overhead of a full service brokerage and in another you talk about how two years ago you could literally stick a sign in front of your home and it will sell… however even in those good times that same ease of selling a home justified that full service commission.
Your implications that I will not be around and thus leaving my clients out in the cold in a slow market, and your other back handed comments are you from the hip I suppose. You speak your mind and that is well understood by me.
