Overall I prefer the CA system. Here in NJ, each real estate agency has their own contract, which is the starting point of the negotiations. The contract provides that it can be cancelled by either party for any reason during the period of attorney review. The real estate attorneys that I have had experience with here aren’t great – the first letter we received on the current transaction referred to a “common basement,” which was puzzling since it’s a single family home. It also referred to a heating oil storage tank – and we don’t have one. Plus, lots of typos. So it’s just some letter that they always pull up and no one reads (hence the typos). The attorneys are recommended by the agents, so I think the ones that bring up deal breakers (such as a cap on the rate of mortgage interest a buyer is willing to accept as part of the mortgage contingency) don’t get a lot of business. On the other hand, most things are pretty corrupt here in the “Soprano State” (that is actually the name of a great book by a couple of AP writers about the corruption that pervades this place) so I have a hard time knowing what to expect. I’ll be happy to get out of here . . .

I think you missed my point; the fantasy that I was referring to related to your graphic description of being draped over a barrel, etc. In any event, after reading that passage again, I think I will politely decline your offer to sit down with me.
Your fiduciary duty requires you to obey the lawful requirements of your client relating to the sale of his/her property. Your other choice is to provide your client with an unconditional withdrawal from the listing agreement. Since your screen name is sdrealtor, I assume that you are a member of the NAR. Their website provides a pretty clear description of your Code of Ethics. I have to assume that you have informed your clients of the conditions under which you will or will not show properties, and that they have agreed to your conditions. If you hadn’t, you would be risking your license.Participantsdrealtor –

drboom correctly inferred what I meant – people usually use quotes in the way that you did to suggest that they don’t necessarily agree with a description. Instead of putting the quotes in, you could also achieve the effect by putting the words “so-called” in front of the words ‘international expert.’ In any event – he is a bona fide international expert, quotes or not. You might be interested to see this NYT article about him entitled: The Probability that a Real-Estate Agent is Cheating You (and other Riddles of Modern Life)

Don’t know what the reason for the quotes around the words “internationally known” in your earlier post. His name is Steven Levitt, and is described in wikipedia as follows: Winner of the 2004 John Bates Clark Medal, he is currently the William B. Ogden Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, director of the Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and co-editor of the Journal of Political Economy published by the University of Chicago Press. He co-authored the best-selling book Freakonomics (2005) and its sequel Superfreakonomics (2009). Levitt was chosen as one of Time magazine’s “100 People Who Shape Our World” in 2006.[1]
What’s even more surprising is that he is in his early forties. He’s received a lot of attention for his work, even at U of C, where there is a (humorous) sign in the cafeteria indicating a special line for Nobel prize winners.
