Thanks for the compliment Perry. I used my sister in law at at Coldwell Banker for the first few properties I purchased and that got old. Then I bought a FSBO and neither the seller nor I used a Realtor. In retrospect I wish I would have but live and learn. Everything Exeunt said was true and it would seem somewhat self serving for me to argue the points. Most people have a low opinion of Realtors because of bad experiences which is unfortunate. It is what it is though. I do hope/think that the buyers and sellers I have worked with have had good experiences. Cannot say much more then that!
