Participant[quote=urbanrealtor]And I will bet 10 bucks there is nothing but more nuance in your next post.[/quote]
No, we’re done here.
You’re not the first blowhard who got carried away after a few too many drinks and soiled their professional reputation in a forum.
Participant[quote=njtosd][quote=drboom]. . . It’s set up by and for lawyers, of course, so there again we have a monopoly tax. . . [/quote]
Technically, things like real estate, law, medicine, etc. are not monopolies. In a true monopoly, it is impossible to enter the monopolized area.[/quote]
The MLS is a monopoly. The USDOJ Antitrust Division has already beaten the NAR over the head a time or two about this.
In the legal field, lawyers are granted the power to vet their own membership by the state. That’s a monopoly. Same thing goes for the practice of medicine.
[quote]On the other hand, these professions do have high barriers to entry. The question that you have to ask yourself is which is the better deal – doing whatever is necessary to overcome those barriers in order to enter the profession (as bearishgurl described), or paying for the services of someone else who has overcome the barriers. It’s very dependent on what you want to do in life and in business.[/quote]
True. I do it for pragmatic reasons. Lawyers do nothing but drive up costs for everyone, so I avoid them except when I need answers to specific questions. I sat down with a probate attorney not that long ago, for instance, but I won’t actually hire him. I paid for my $380/hour consultation and got my questions answered. I don’t plan on getting charged with a crime, but I won’t screw around filing my own briefs if I do. I’ll hire the best lawyer I can afford.
With doctors, I’ve been sewn together enough times in my life to not bother going back to get stitches removed. It’s a waste of their time and my money, so I just do it myself if I can reach them or get some help if I can’t.
Specialists and professionals are valuable when used correctly, but running to them with every little problem isn’t the mark of a real adult IMO.

Participant[quote=urbanrealtor]I think that people who stare at comp sheets all day probably are better at evaluating comps than those who don’t.[/quote]
In my experience the thing professionals bring to the table is efficiency. You could look at a set of comps and make a snap judgement, while I’d have to screw around for a while. Since I have an interest in my own case, my research will almost certainly be more thorough.
[quote][quote=drboom]
Just how hard do you think this stuff is? If you think it’s hard, I submit you’re not all that bright to begin with–so your opinion is worthless one way or the other. If you think it’s easy but requires the all-seeing and all-knowing MLS, I’ve already dealt with that elsewhere: see the “cult” thread.
[/quote]
So if I disagree with you, then my opinion is worthless?
Not a strong argument dude.
[/quote]Where did I even imply we would disagree? You missed the point completely, so let me restate:
Doing comps is not hard if you have the data and half a brain for the analysis. I have both, and I think we would reach roughly the same conclusions.
[quote]I think that being an agent is easy.
It has a very low threshold for legal standing and very easy minimum qualifications.
I think that being good or successful at it is rather tough.[/quote]Who said it was easy? Not me. It’s a lot of work. It also takes a certain talent to deal with all comers and make them feel comfortable. That’s the key to success in any sales position, not intellect or education.
I and others simply resent being forced into paying bloated monopoly rents for services we neither want nor need.
[quote]That is why Dave Baum (sdr), Adam Rappoport (SD_R) and Dan Cassidy (that’s me) are still in business and generally only have time to make friends (or enemies) online whereas a lot of the people we competed with a few years ago are in different lines of work.
Its not reasonable to say that just because it looks easy to do it is.[/quote]The mark of a true professional is that they make everything look easy. I never said otherwise.
[quote]I don’t think people are being dishonest I just want them to show their work.
I think that what looks like a good idea is often dependent on limited or skewed information.[/quote]Right. In other words, we’re not in possession of the facts and we’re not bright enough to know it.
In my own case, a veteran RE professional already looked at my deal months after it was done. Her opinion was that we did very well. I disagreed with her because the market was and is still too inflated so looking at comps doesn’t give a good picture. I expect to “lose” my 20% down payment (I’m “up” about 15-20% right now, unbelievably) over the next few years, but I nailed the bottom of the market so it would have been hard to do much better. I’ve given the numbers elsewhere, but the deal was a no-brainer as a rental property.
[quote]However, if someone thinks they have a great deal without representation, I would like to see that and compare it to those who DO have representation.[/quote]
Good luck. There isn’t enough data to draw meaningful conclusions. The FSBO market is full of nutjobs who think they own the Taj Mahal and that El Cajon is 92037, so you won’t find anything helpful there. Anecdotes are about all you’ll get, and the plural of anecdote is not “data”.
[quote]I think that if someone is going to go on about how they have a great strategy (like working unrepresented or with the listing agent) they should show the stellar results they claim.[/quote]
I showed enough, and so have others. If you don’t like it, fine. I value my privacy, and I assume they do too.

-drboom[/quote]So dude, seriously, your best shot when I say to bring evidence is to tell me to bring evidence?
Sure.
What evidence do you want?[/quote]Not evidence. Data. It’s not the same thing. Read for content.
As I said, bring what you already brought, but more of it. It’s too small of a sample to draw any conclusions, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
[quote]Weak, weak argument.
And you are telling me to shut the fuck up?
Grow some and learn to cuss.[/quote]Yes I am if all you’re going to do is wave your spindly little dick around and misread everything people write.
How old are you, anyway? Still wearing your frat ring? The other adults you mentioned back themselves up without sounding like children. Think you can step your game up a little?

Participant[quote=urbanrealtor]Also:
To those who are bragging about having bought without an agent:I dare you to post an address (or pm it).
I will share it with other agents on this board and in my office and we will tell you if we think you actually got a good price or not. (you may or may not have).
We will not post the address if you would prefer.If you don’t have the courage to give us that, then I submit you are a coward without the courage of your convictions.
I am calling you out.
Reply if you’ve got a pair.
Otherwise step off.[/quote]
I don’t qualify since I ended up buying with an agent.
But once again, we have a pro who thinks only other pros can determine whether a deal was good or not. The schoolyard taunts are funny but misplaced.
Just how hard do you think this stuff is? If you think it’s hard, I submit you’re not all that bright to begin with–so your opinion is worthless one way or the other. If you think it’s easy but requires the all-seeing and all-knowing MLS, I’ve already dealt with that elsewhere: see the “cult” thread.
If you think people are being dishonest, then I’d like to know who you think is full of $#!t and why. If you can’t come up with anything concrete, then STFU and bring some data to the discussion like you did in the previous post.

To those who are bragging about having bought without an agent:I dare you to post an address (or pm it).
I will share it with other agents on this board and in my office and we will tell you if we think you actually got a good price or not. (you may or may not have).
We will not post the address if you would prefer.If you don’t have the courage to give us that, then I submit you are a coward without the courage of your convictions.
I am calling you out.
Reply if you’ve got a pair.
Otherwise step off.[/quote]
I don’t qualify since I ended up buying with an agent.
But once again, we have a pro who thinks only other pros can determine whether a deal was good or not. The schoolyard taunts are funny but misplaced.
