Welcome!
To Mr. McCabe: Your shot at used car salesman offends me. Granted, I agree with the fact that Ms. Ross's story is a bunch of crap, the actual numbers don't lie, but the fact is every real estate agent wishes they had the skills of a successful used car salesman. I worked in the auto industry for over decade before getting into the mortgage industry in '97' and I've never met an agent who wasn't a whiner...always complaining about every transaction and only worried about themselves & their check at closing, never a buyer's well being. I've done dozens of transactions where the home wasn't worth what the contracted sales price, but that was my fault because my appraisers wouldn't lie. The auto industry has opened itself as far as pricing & value of cars, see Kelly blue book, NADA, or Edmunds. What has the Real Estate industry done? The won't allow consumers access to sold or listing data without getting the consumers information first...they're like rats protecting their place at a garbage dump. Ralph hit the nail on the head!
