Bringing real estate ethics online - exactly. This is a window into what's happening in the "real" world - why would you expect it to be any different online? As for scrambling to get there first that's not how it happens in my experience. You see someone has asked a question, look to see if there are any responses, and if so - did they answer the question. When there is no response, I often answer if I can. By the time you've typed in your answer, you hit the button to respond and there are 5 answers there. Doesn't mean there was any scrambling involved. Love the moment!

"The market in many places in the country is in the midst of making a recovery. For example, in Orange County, Calif., there are less than two months of inventory on the market in some areas. Two months of inventory means that these markets will stabilize in price. If the inventory continues to be low, prices will begin to increase." Two months of inventory does not mean that prices will stabilize - here in Southern California it means that buyers who had no chance with the crazy prices of the last several years now see that owning property makes financial sense again to them. It also means that no-one is selling unless they are forced to by changes in circumstances, death, relocation - even then they are leasing if they can. No one knows if we are in the midst of making a recovery or not. Time will tell. Love the moment!

Dual agency is not the problem. Being dishonest is the issue.
