ParticipantHuh?
ParticipantJJ
The court holds real estate licensee’s to a very high standard of care. Having a realtor wouldnt have prevented that lawsuit. It provides a deep pocket in the form of E&O insurance from which to recover losses.That was Gary’s point.

ParticipantSome of the issues afflicting this community include barely single family homes (more like townhomes), awkward floorplans, no yards (front or back), overlooking busy road, overlooking the back of Jiffy Lube etc.

ParticipantI agree Rustico and my philosophy is much like yours. People are free to choose whatever suits them best.
JJ,
Analogies are just that. You bring up the minimum qualifications and that is hiring a boy scout. The are medical quacks and military cowards as well. Some of you may be literal ex-marines or ex-mercenaries and could fare better. RE can ver simple or very complex. You typically dont find out which it is until its too late.As in anything, there are winners and losers. Enough with the tired cliches. best of luck to all, what ever route you choose.ParticipantI agree Rustico and my philosophy is much like yours. People are free to choose whatever suits them best.

Wearing a t shirt with a big American Flag on it you could walk down the streets of Baghdad. At you own peril of course.
You could walk alone and chance are pretty good you’ll be fine.
You could pay a boy scout and chances are you would be at only slightly lower with essentially only another pair of eyes.
You could hire a private body guard and you would pay quite a bit more but you would be quite safer.
You could hire a team of armed mercenaries and you would be even safer.
Spending more should reduce your risk assuming you hire a good agent. How safe and protected do you want to be? How much guidance and support are you willing to pay to help make the best decision?
The answer is different for everyone and there is no right or wrong answer. Some go it alone and are fine. Some go it alone and get slaughtered. More often then not when I look at someone getting slaughtered in todays market their representation when buying was highly suspect. The funny thing is that often, the highly suspect representation was an agent representing themselves. You all know what they saw about someone that represents themselves in court.

ParticipantPaid top dollar using an out of area agent. The neighborhood is a relative tough sale and the location only added to that. He was essentially unrepresented when he bought IMHO.

ParticipantIt started in Austraila not the USA. It was commandeered by Prudential. The goal is to increase showing activity and interest in a home. There is nothing nefarious about it. Personally, I dont like it and question its effectiveness.
