“The best analysis on what is going on still comes from an experienced, knowledgable local realtor or appraiser.”
The only difference between a used car dealer and a real estate agent, is the number of payments. The only difference between an appraiser and a con artist, the con artist has to know what he’s doing.
I read the April link to Bob Casagrams’s column. It looks like he summerized about 20 blogs that I read daily. After reading his April column, I don’t think your average buyer would be ready to buy a house from any realtor–let alone him.
His candidness is going to cut into his sales. A good realtor keeps his mouth shut and is a very good listener. I think your being too hard on the guy. He’s going to starve to death selling real estate, with articles as good as his last one.
I’ve got a valid real estate license so I’ve got some room to talk.
