ParticipantWould you get to be hurt/mad at the family friend/agent if your B.I.L. had bought the crappy overpriced fixer. How do you know he wasn’t getting something for steering him that way.
That’s the trouble with family friend/agents, everyone has one, but not everyone’s friend is the best realtor.
I wouldn’t bring a buyer’s agent to a house I found myself, I’d pay a smaller amount for a professional to negotiate the deal, but the full 3% to write the offer? hell no, that 3% comes off the net when the seller evaluates the offers. So you are actually paying them 6k for two hours of work. If I had to make a list of people who I would pay 6k for two hours of work for me, only porn stars and surgeons would make that list.

ParticipantYouth, what a wonderful thing. To have the stamina and intelligence to transform all your shortcomings and insecurities into anger and resentment.
Perhaps this “moron”, “product of a retard factory”, and a “dumbsh*t fratboy” (guilty as charged on all three counts), can offer you some pearls of wisdom. Here are four:
1. Plastic O.C. girls are great in bed
2. Don’t let envy spoil a good time
3. Despite how superior you feel, you are not any better than the garbage collector and are probably less productive, you have a very limited time in this world, the sooner you realize that you are the problem, and not everyone else, the sooner you will be able to find your place in this crazy world. It isn’t about a place, a climate or a people, it’s you.
4. And Finally, I use way too many commas, dude!ParticipantYouth, what a wonderful thing. To have the stamina and intelligence to transform all your shortcomings and insecurities into anger and resentment.

Or are we just winging it. I’ll be easy to find, I’ll be the only one actually glancing at the Laker/Thunder game. [/quote]
It’s Monday (ie tomorrow), not Tuesday…
Good point about recognition but at this point I’d say let’s just wing it. If I remember I will make a little sign or something (but that’s the kind of thing I may or may not remember).

Thank goodness, I thought it was monday, I remember checking the laker schedule and it was a non game day, but then saw sd mention Tuesday and figured maybe I considered the Oklahoma Thunder a non game.

Participant[quote=Casca]In a moment of misplaced altruism, I went to a high school graduation in Spring Valley a few years ago. I’ve never been to visitor’s day at a prison before, but I imagine that it would be very similar… fist fights over seats by adults, obese women in lycra, everyone in their Sunday t-shirt and baggy shorts.[/quote]
epic post of the day!!!
“moment of misplaced altruism,” I’m stealing that and making it part of my everyday vocabulary, love it!
On a serious note, while spring valley has it’s issues, the original poster asked why it is cheaper than Lemon Grove? I have no good answer, LG has similar issues, but then again I spend about as much time in the highway 94 corridor as I do watching professional soccer.
