I'd be interested in seeing the body cam footage of those.

Wow...you went from arrogant to virtue signaling in 2 minutes.

Yes, because that happens so often in Mesa.

hehe...pretty arrogant to think you aren't being manipulated as well.

I understand how I'm being manipulated...how everyone is. That's why I value the insight I get here. BTW...if you continue to block posters you don't agree with on DZ.com you'll end up in the same place the MSM puts you. Still unsure why most of you have no problem with Herr Kerry as the climate boss. Not even a little.

That's one way of looking at it. I scroll until I see something that interests me. I guess that's MSM then. Doesn't explain why they think I might be even remotely interested in Demi Lovato and her brain damage.

True...and I choose which ones I want more from. I don't sit in front of the tube and gargle bullshit.

That's not WP...that's out on a weekend pass crazy.

I don't watch any MSM. I get my news from Google and on here.

Joe seems to enjoy attacking how others make a living. He'd like you believe one thing but it's entirely possible it's the other.

Well I'm not surprised that you don't have at least a sliver of a problem with it. This administration will be Obama 3.0.

Compared to how you spend your days I'd say he's simply a parent doing the most important job on earth.

Not trying to impress anyone. Just pointing out the obvious. If you're going to talk the talk...

We aren't taking the moniker of Climate Envoy.

And so it begins. NYC public school asks parents to ‘reflect’ on their ‘whiteness’ https://nypost.com/2021/02/16/nyc-public-school-asks-parents-to-reflect-on-their-whiteness/

Are you guys serious? "We look forward to the anti-carbon lectures from a guy who travels the globe on private jets and luxury yachts," read a New York Post editorial on Monday. https://nypost.com/2020/11/23/biden-climate-envoy-john-kerry-is-a-lifelong-joke/

Well Bill, it does until you have to identify gender.

That almost never happens. It's human nature to get the most you can get. BTW, I'm in agreement with most of your point. I started in residential and was fortunate enough to create a niche. At the same time I was appalled at the lack of professionalism of your average agent. There is a saying that 80% of real estate is done by 20% of the agents. The ones who know and understand the business. The others are just fighting over the scraps but they give the industry as a whole a bad rep.

The problem I have with FSBO is you the seller want the buyer to have no representation so you the seller can make more off the sale. The buyer doesn't benefit unless you're reducing the price by not having to pay a brokerage commission. Most buyers won't do FSBO simply because they don't understand the transaction and want some guidance. Now, commissions are expensive. I get that people don't want to pay 6-7%. In this market the standard is 6% of the first $100K, 4% above. Usually works out to ~5%. If the broker is getting half of that you need to find a new broker. Keller Williams has a "cap". The max the broker takes for the year. In our case it's 30% until we reach the cap amount. After that it's all to the agent. Cap starts in February for our group. We usually reach the cap amount by the end of April. The industry is under attack by disrupters. And most residential agents are their own worst enemy. The first thing that needs to change is making "Dual Agency" illegal. Many states have already outlawed the practice. In simple terms most listing agreements call for a split of the commission between the buyer's agent and the seller's agent. If I list a property and bring a buyer I get both sides of the commission. Problem is I can't truly represent both sides. You can't be the guy trying to score the goal and the goalkeeper. So what happens in that situation is neither party gets good representation. Our group will not allow dual agency. We feel it's unethical.

OK...so let's assume that WP is real. What do you do about it?

Drive by apprasials. Don't get me started.

Phil stop. You'd have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the super heated housing market.

Realtors don't do appraisals...they do comparable sales studies. At least here in Ohio that's how it works. Where is this tough market you speak of?

True, but the bank will only finance based on an appraisal. Maybe they were trying to refinance.

Didn't watch it. First time in my life I didn't have any knowledge of who was featured in the show.
