Real Estate Agent Shot?

[CardiffBaseball]

Anyone see the story about the Lakeside Condo owner who shot his RE Agent? Anyone know anything about this Condo? Just wondering what causes a guy to snap like that.

That is wild cardiff… I can tell you that I have spoke to some people who told me about some pretty brutal stories regarding thier agents. The most common theme was the “opinion” of the agent that the property the person was buying would appreciate rapidly.

What do you expect, Lakeside is “little Texas”. Every cowboy has a horse and a gun……..

Wow I just saw the story on the news, (the 1 am replay of the news that is) and that story was really brutal. According to the story the agent worked for the La Jolla Willis Allen office. That the agent was working with probate attorney and that the agent went to present to offer to the seller he was shot. Unreal….

That is wild. I wonder if this type of incident will be the norm as people get served their papers. I hear that auto repo men have to work under night-time cover in order to avoid violence on the part of owners.

A lowball offer presented after he previously told the owner that it will "triple" in value or more in a year or two …….that gets some people kinda mad……Fraud always gets people upset when they find out they've been had…….

LB,
That comment pretty much pegs you as a lowlife. For the record, it was a $155,000 condo that was purchased in 1997 for $47,000. The agent that was killed does mostly Probate sales and probably never met the owner let alone sold him a property under false pretenses. Those are sales of properties where the owner died and the estate is selling the property not a foreclosure. I have a friend who does a similar business and guys like this typically have a couple estate attorneys that refer them business. It’s a great gig if you can get it and the properties are generally sold at a good price for the buyer because they are usually in rough shape and little can be disclosed about any issues with them as the owner is deceased. He was from what I understand a very good agent in the business 30 years and a fine person. This is a tragedy and there is nothing funny about it.

Wow, Sdrealtor protecting he’s own. Way to go slimeball!

But really, besides slimeball putting he’s 3% worth, it is a real shame that a person, what seems like a good guy, lost he’s life to another dude that could not take responsibility for he’s actions. If you sign on the dotted line, you have to suck it up (Barring fraud and such).

My best bro is also a bottomfeeder agent of 12 years. I love him, but he’s still a slimeball!
By the way, he told me that there has been an absolute stalemate between buyers and sellers for a year now in LA County. He is starting to think about doing a different type of employment until things shakeout…

So don’t take it personally Sdrealtor. I understand you are held in good standing by many in this blog, but your still part of the bottomfeeder class….

Dont take this personally, blackbox, but you’re a mean-spirited idiot.

He’s, he’s, he’s, what are you writing in broken English?

[CardiffBaseball]

Good gosh people someone lost a life have a little respect.

[JJGittes]

Sheesh, somehow I don’t get the vibe that this guy was the equivilent of those poofy haired 32 year old RE agent babes I see profiled in the UT every sunday as having now joined this or that firm, and that have been in the field for five years for the purpose of making a quick score with bad deals for their buyer clients, and leaving horrible messes in their wake.

I just can’t see any support for slamming the victim in this. I hope the perp gets the needle.

[blackbox]

Yep. I thought I would get that reaction. Haha.
You guys need to get a life…

Hahaha

Idiots

Actually good-spirited idiots.

Pavlov’s dogs……

Go ahead, roll over….

Good job!

This man was “I believe”

– an ex marine
– a family man
– married for 25 years

I say I believe only because I am not 100% sure. I know an agent that knew him and she said he was one of the nicest guys she ever met. I did not know him personally.

This is kinda off topic, but does anyone know what happened with the husband/wife realtors who beat up the Fox News reporter that was looking into a scam they were running?
