business: What Happened To Loyalty Among Friends?
- 08/17/08 06:14 PM
Today I was talking with a friend that I have had since grade school and found out that he and another mutual friend bought a house with another agent. I was at a loss for words when I found out this news. I did not know whether to be angry or be hurt by this situation. I mean what happened? I thought for sure they would have used my services to buy a home. I have been offering them my services for the last two years I have been an agent. And I figured that being good friends with them … (11 comments)
business: Agent "Allegedly" Shot By Home Seller

El Cajon, CA. A Real Estate Agent was shot (allegedly) shot buy the home seller. So it goes that the seller and the agent were arguing about offers on the sellers property.

I fail to see what difference this could actually make. Here is the link to the article I read talking about the new bill. http://money.cnn.com/2007/10/01/real_estate/subprime_bankruptcy_change/index.htm?postversion=2007100115 … (8 comments)
business: Double Mortgages

My aunt and uncle have recently moved to Flagstaff, AZ and I have not been able to sell their home here in Phoenix, AZ. I have debated what I should try next in order to sell the home quickly. The only thing I can think of is to take a hit on my commission and give it to the buyers agent. I currently have a 5% commission agreement on this home and I will take 1% instead of the initial 2%. In kind I will give the other percent to the buyers agent, raising their commission to 4%, to entice them … (7 comments)
