Realtors are dumb, stupid idiots. It takes very little to become a licensed agent. They are lying liars who know very little.

Right now in California, they’re out here telling folks what a great time it is to buy a $500,000 piece of crap in the ghetto.

1 of two things is evident. Either (a) they’re too damn stupid to know that that’s a bad investment or (b) they’ll steer you into a bad investment just to make a fat commission.

Either way, they deserve just slightly more respect than the suicide bombers in Baghdad that annhilate women and children.

Realtors have got to be the scummiest people on earth.

Becuase they are the average. What I mean is you have two types of salesmen in the country, those that read books and use taglines and those that actually give a crap about what they are providing. The latter often make a good living in whatever trade they are involved in.

The idea of sales is outdated at best. People have heard all the horror stories and go into any situation of buying leary. The new trend in acquiring the 2/3’s of buyers who come to your door is to inform and assist in the sales process. With the internet consumers are becoming more and more aware of thier options so old school sales are becoming just that, old school.

I think the "used car salesman" approach is fastly becoming outdated. Remember, as I stated above, 1/3 of people need to be pursuaded (sold), 1/3 have already made up thier mind and the final 1/3 cannot be sold. So, what you end up with is a mediocre salesman closing 33% of people just becuase of the fact that they went to the show with buying in mind. Those who accel will close in excess of 60%.

Because they really do not add any value, especially now with so much real estate posted on the internet. Why pay them 1%-3% of the transaction? A buyer, seller, mortgage, and escrow people are all you need.

Because most of them lie to you about how "little" they are making on "the deal." And you should get it before someone else does. I work at a car dealership! Not selling cars, but I am friends with some of the salesmen and I hear it all the time.

Because they are one in the same, just selling a different product.
