re: Question for realtors... Am I being selfish?

I'd be lying if I said its not a little bit funny based on this guys posts when he first went on the market. Hiring a shitty realtor just gives it that extra

I forgot about that thread. Went back and saw it and had a good laugh again.

At first he hates that he had a realtor that was eager to show a house without giving 24 hours notice...now the guy takes shitty pictures and he wants to cut him out of the deal.

TigrLee keeps me entertained on all boards.

With couple months of experience I can tell you... anyone not interested in giving a seller a 24hr notice for an appointment isn't that interesting in buying a house

Your experience is your house is still on the market after almost 6 months so I that is bad advice. There is a reason every single person disagreed with you in that other thread.

At the max a couple hundred.

I'm not familiar with the previous thread at all, but I can tell you my parents just sold their house last week (located in Metairie, LA). My parents are both in their early 60s and there were (at minimum) 4 different potential buyers that literally gave them 4 hours or less to show the house.

GD you are one angry little realtor it seems.
You're a typical know it all pushy individual.
You want things your way when you want it...
the only person that was mad in that thread (outside of me of course) was you.

You've yet to say (even though you posted 10 times in the thread) why the 24 hour notice is unacceptable.

I don't really care how things are done in your market... Where I live there isn't 100 houses to see, so a day of house showing maybe 5-6-7 houses total.
For the last time, it's really not asking too much.... Plus my realtor put it in the MLS so it's there for any contacting buyer agent to see.. Maybe they should do a better job planning their showings for their clients?

From your posts I see why people in general hate real estate agents.
Good job representing!

Translation: I really hate that I don't know what I'm doing and need help. I really hate it that I have to ask for advice. I don't want to listen to the truth and I'm pissed off about it. So I might need help and I might need to hear the truth, but I'm going to be an angry,ignorant, and belligerent in my defense of my flawed strategies and knowledge thus far. So frick you professional realtors that make a living from doing what I have proven I can't do. From reading your astounding posting history, I expect nothing less.

Oh i can beat that....Imagine if a gay realtor came with a potential black buyer?

For the last time.. I'm sorry for calling Rachel Maddow a shim.
Obv you're still butt sore about it, let it go pal.

Do y'all like being realtors? Seems like a fun career and I'm looking to change.

I love it, but it's not easy getting started. My market has a ton of inventory right now, which presents it's own challenges, but if you work with motivated sellers that have realistic expectations and price their home properly, you can get it sold. the trick is making them realize that no amount of marketing on this planet will make their 200k house sell for 250, and that pricing it that high in the beginning will not "give them room to negotiate." Buyers aren't even looking at over priced listings here.

Eta: if you do decide to make the jump into real estate, find a coaching organization and follow their plan (don't sign up for coaching, most give you a basic overview of what you have to do to get started an it won't cost you any thing). I personally follow mike ferry, but he's not for everyone. There's also Brian buffini, Tom ferry, and others that have different takes. The bottom line is as long as you follow a system, you'll sell more than if you don't.

15-25k isn't much equity?

Yes to your question.... I'm building.
