” how effective do you think the realtor is at screening? When we sold a house four years ago I interviewed realtors. Two out of the the four I felt were not trustworthy and a third was unprofessional if not incompetent.”
As a building contractor put it to me years ago, What kind of people do you think are going to be attracted to an industry where they can make the same kind of money as doctors and lawyers and only have to graduate high school and pass a test?
In another disturbing fact of life, stock brokers are about the very same.
The leading producer in a Merrill office in Houston had been selling at a discount jewelry place after he was no longer a house painter.
BTW, one realtor painted a picture of a desperate market, low balled the proposed asking price by about a third and had a reputation for buying distressed property and flipping them. He called me to see why I had not replied to his offer and I told him to get lost.
