Social media sites don't sell real estate

Read Teresa's article yesterday.
Humm, what goes wrong with her?
She spent so much energy and money to work on real estate selling and almost got nothing in return.  That fits into what I called "the least protected professional" in the world. 
USA society is well managed; almost every acitivities involved a license, even a small job such as selling a used car needs a license in California issued by DMV.  Sure, someone or something don't need a license.  The most important public jobs like politicians including President has no specific license … (1 comments)

A Funny World (19): Can Agents Refuse Receiving Offers or Not?

Gee! 
It is very difficult to write up an offer, isn't it?  In the past 11 days, I have tried and spent a lot of time to buy a REO listed with an agent.  I am still unable to present my offer through the regular channel.  Hard to believe it?  
Okay, I am ready to give up if it is so hard to give you my money.   Anyway, I can wait and in no hurry to buy now.
In the past 3 … (6 comments)

Hi! Mary Ann:
I read your post that is 3 month old.  Maybe you have an answer already.
I am just wondering how come nobody responds to your post as mine.
My answer is this:  Let it go as the buyer wants. 
Why?  Not fair.
1. There are all kinds of people.  I had a buyer who changed her mind to buy a house.  She wanted sellers to release her liability to the contract by offering to have all the earnest money she put into escrow confiscated.  As a listing agent, I told her that she … (0 comments)

agent: American Poor Folk's Egold Is Up - 11/23/07 05:12 AM
I got into AR two weeks ago.  I have a lot of fun.  But there is something missing: excitement for challenges!
So I decide to start a new group: APFE.  Here, I invite everybody who dare to have a big dream even he or she is cash-poored.  
No person shall be treated unequally even a poor guy is much welcome here.  I want people come up to challenge "the tyranny of status quo".  Share us what you have to break the myth: "It takes money to make money."  Hopefully, to create a rapid social mobility to lead a poor folk into the front line … (3 comments)

agent: What an agent's life is: incredible? Is it the life you want? - 11/13/07 12:59 AM
This is a updated version of my response to 2 advice given by Fred Sands to a RE agent in LA Times:  http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/laland/2007/11/realtors-get-wa.html?cid=88986808
Out of my 20 year experience in RE, including being an owner of my brokerage (or vice CEO in one of 400+ agents at a time) and partner/ owner of one largest appraisal firms in LA, I know the reality and agree that you are possibly right about our RE system in the future: an agent is going to be obsolete in some ways.
In real estate, I know the principle of 80/20 is working. 20 years ago, 20% agents earned the same revenue of the other 80 %.  An average agents … (2 comments)
