    Selling a house …
    Selling a house without broker is possible, you can also go to court without a lawyer.

    Everyone staunchly …
    Everyone staunchly against this video seems to be so because they themselves are employed in the real estate business – can you say “conflict of interest” anyone? Real Estate agents DEFINITELY use these tactics and anyone would be naive to think otherwise – they get paid faster that’s the bottom line, money talks no matter what profession you are in – it’s called business, this is how they make a living.

    It appears the person who posted this video had a bad experience with a single individual and wants to condemn an entire industry to get even. This video is a disservice to home sellers who have to sell in today’s difficult environment. Overpricing in today’s market usually means selling for even less in the future. It is also unfair to all the honest, ethical, and hard working REALTORS. Need to buy or sell, talk to 2 or 3 Professionals, then decide.

    1. To people that say we agents have big commissions, I say, what are you waiting for, go do your course, so I can look at the look on your face 8 months later.

    2. Lowering a commission? Collaborating agents will visit your home last. Smart move.

    3. Sell your home on your own? Do-able. Save money (commission)? Never gonna happen! The buyer will tell you: But I don’t have an agent, slap off an x-tra 4% for me, will ya?

    98% of Realtors …
    98% of Realtors should never have left their retail or fast food jobs. There are too many Realtors (over 1.3 million), a backwards commission plan which screws both the consumer and oddly enough -the agent, and way too many poorly trained agents dealing from the bottom of the deck to sell a home under any circumstances which favor only them.

    I’ve been involved in the real estate business for 10 years and this video is 100% accurate.

  7. cjhodgesrealtor says:

    Realtors work in …
    Realtors work in accordance with a code of ethics which prohibits us from taking part in most of these activities that this film maker says we will do to cheat a client. Realtors who are successful are typically honest to a fault. We can not mislead clients and expect them to send us referrals. This “film maker” needs to do better research.

  8. LynSims says:

    This video is no …
    This video is no longer even relevant in this market. Lower the commission at a time when monthly only 8% of homes in an area are selling at a given time? That makes sense!
    You should do some investigative work for your own market but since every subdivision in an area has not been effected the same way, their blanket statement doesn’t tell you that. This person seems totally disgruntled w/the real estate market & realtors in general wouldn’t you agree?

  9. bandersohn says:

    This video just …
    This video just goes to show you that “anyone” can create and upload a video to youtube. If you’re a buyer or a seller, don’t always believe what you see or read on the internet.

    It’s this kind of crap that can actually cost you MORE MONEY than having a good Real Estate Agent or Broker represent you.

    In their Next Video, they’ll be showing you and telling you to fix your own car, or do your own surgery! What a bunch of bull!

    Next….

    You have some good points but not all brokers are alike.

  11. jllrealestate says:

    The 2 sides to this …
    The 2 sides to this argument are like fire and ice. Buyers in this market, especially here in AZ, WILL NOT BELIEVE their home is valued so low when they have put so much into it. They don’t realize that with so many distressed properties in their neighborhood, the appraiser doesn’t have much choice and must use those dirt cheap houses as their comps in the appraisal. In 10 years I have NEVER met a realtor like the one pitched here. You are thinking car salesperson, so that is the mortgage biz!

    good advice this bull crap most of us believe in ethics

  13. csalt22 says:

    This is bull****, …
    This is bull****, most of the things mentioned are illegal for a realtor to do.
    1. All offers must be presented promptly
    2. Most owners believe “their home” is magically worth more than comparable homes- it is the agent’s job to bring them back to reality.
    3. Over priced homes don’t sell or don’t sell for that price. They languish on the market, become stale, and then sell for less than they would have brought 6 months earlier.
    4. 80% of buyers start their search on the internet,

  14. 386Motoring says:

    Good video…. it …
    Good video…. it makes brokers seam like cons though. I haven’t met any brokers that would do unprofessional things like that and a brokers license can easily be taken from FREC.

  15. tollymick777 says:

    why would brokers/ …
    why would brokers/agents risk their license over lousy scheme just to make a sale…!? they’re their to HELP you, might as well work with them instead of treating them like cons..

    My Realtor is not …
    My Realtor is not like this! He is bound by law and follows it. This video give Realtors a bad name. The advice given is inaccurate and dangerous. Realtor provide a crucial role in the transaction and actually limit liability for the consumer.
    My recommendation when choosing a real estate agent is to follow you instincts. Select someone you feel you can trust.
    With regards to leaving your house on the market for longer is very misguided to say the least.

  18. theandysullivan says:

    Wow this video is …
    Wow this video is ridiculous.

    So now every broker is a con out for a buck. Perhaps before my time but I dont know of one that can stay in business now adays. Trust me Realtors are simply an agent of you. An extension of your wants and desires put into action with the knowhow of how to get it done, correctly, the first time.

    You’re a joke …
    You’re a joke Beingreal40. Tell me how anything mentioned in this video leads to destroying lives.

  20. raymondwilburn says:

    This video is …
    This video is entertaining, and has some good information mixed in with the general sensational doo doo. Basically it paints brokers as con-men and women which isn’t true. Many are just lazy and part of an antiquated system.

    Let’s break it down. The price hold out advice is crap. What you think your home is worth doesn’t mean anything, it’s what the market for your home is.

    You can sell your self, but prepare for a pain in the ass.

    All other points are somewhat valid. enjoy.

  21. Beingreal40 says:

    And those …
    And those can destroy lives faster than they are put togehter.

  22. Richard1Nixon says:

    They are called …
    They are called professionals for a reason. The right agent can make all the difference, and perform many services that the average person cannot do for themselves.

  23. ThirdEyeAbility says:

    some brokers are …
    some brokers are reallllly unethical… believe me.

    is this a parody? Too funny!

    Thank You. That’s the kind of attitude you can expect from a realtor.
