Who out there felt we the market is picking up? I for one did but not to where we would like it to be yet though. I believed and know that we will have another flood of foreclosures not from sub-prime but the good folks with regular fix rate. Many of my listings are short sale and are not from the fact that they are sub-prime but because they have lost their jobs or on the verge of losing their job and can't pay for the hight mortgage any more.

Back to my topic..yes, the market is coming up slowly and folks are still desperate and would do pretty much what it takes to eliminate the competition. I'm not going to discuss this in detailed but it happened time and again for example, a new listing might come up that has a good price but then when you bring your buyers their, you can't get in or there' s no keys. So by the time you contacted the listing office and or get access, there's already an accepted offer. I don't know what happened in between but felt it's not necessary to go this far.

Eventhough I haven't been doing this for ever and all but done this long enough to see that this is becoming  a trend now and it's frustrating to us as Realtors and definitely not fair to the buyers out there. The same goes with companies that will not return calls for showing requests. And this is unethical and is not for the best interests of the seller either. For those that are doing this, please stop because it doesn't feel good when you are on the receiving end. And for those of you that are doing things the honest and ethical way...keep up the good work and remember that this is a career not a job.
