Credit crisis, sub prime mess, real estate bubble – whatever name you want to call it – what role did real estate agents as a group play in all of this?
It seems as if they are getting a pass. Get the largest commission possible – sell a home at the highest price you can get. Buyers can’t really afford it? Not to worry – I have a mortgage broker here who can help you (the kickback commission doesn’t hurt either). Don’t worry about anything – we have appraisers who can set any number necessary. You’ll have granite counter tops, Sub Zero appliances, and a 0% down, interest only mortgage. Most importantly, I get my place at the trough.
