I think this picture demonstrates why I believe that often the worst “agent” you’ll ever have is a real estate agent. I guess agents of this sort were so spoiled by their windfalls during the good times that they can’t be bothered to exercise any of the sort of fiduciary responsibility one might expect to expect from a professional agent. The public defenders of the economic world; except with public defenders one has professional standards and some form of recourse if they aren’t met.
Thank God for the realtors who aren’t like this and I believe that their professionalism will be rewarded soon when they’re the only ones left still around.

Methinks the owner/occupant made a farewell gesture before “walking away”.

I think the realtor listing this property should be sued for malpractice or just bad manners. What an idiot! I guess the commission on 180k isnt the same as 500 so why bother flushing the toilet? Realtors in the boom times just expected to make 10-15K on a property for showing up and now they need to do some real work. Just wait till these properties clear. Its gonna be a nuclear winter for a while and only the hungriest and sharpest will survive.

Thats the good thing about recessions. The ” cream” rises to the top and sets the foundation for the next boom. In boom times someone who’s competent,innovative and cautious has to compete against someone who’s slipshod,un-immaginative and reckless on equal footing because boom times make EVERYONE look like a genius. No body pays attention to detail in boom times, its just “:turn and burn”. It’s a distinct disadvantage to be “good” at what you do in a mania, but come hard times your not going to starve and in fact if you survive your going to be rich.
