Realtors have only one objective...sell quick and cheap.
They are the worst people in the world to get unbiased advice from

I take offense to that comment. First of all, why is the woman selling her house? Is she behind on her mortgage? Has she considered other alternatives? To decide how to comment I would need all the facts. My information would definitely be unbiased as I am a resident and realtor from another state and have no skin in this game.
I’m sure there’s always the exception to every rule and nothing personal was intended.
This is such an interesting thread.
So many posters in threads about real estate don’t believe that the housing market is going anywhere, but DOWN, for quite some long time.
What happens to realtors if we do experience not another year, but rather, another decade of houses not selling with any resemblance of speed?
We recently learned that some houses in our city have come down in price by almost 30 percent since their initial listing less than half a year ago.
NOT huge numbers of properties, I just wrote, “some,” and really, for all I know, they were initially overpriced on purpose, hoping that the $8,000 housing credit would lure a buyer in.
Just learned yesterday that non-selling houses can be removed from the market, and then are re-listed on the housing market with a new MLS, making it ‘appear’ to be a new listing ...... having just learned about this yesterday, makes me think that maybe people are all playing a serious waiting game to see how far a price will plummet, before paying any serious attention to a truly new listing.
Sounds like a mine field, how can realtors possibly support themselves, isn’t their commission contigent upon the selling price?
