To all of these writers bashing realtors calling them stupid, do you know that Real Estate is the most regulated industry in the US? That Realtors have to go through additional training every year and pay large board and monthly dues to stay active as a Realtor.

Since of course the regulation is what allows them to get away with everything mentioned.

I was waiting for this to happen on my short sale purchase but it never did. They let me have it and the only reason I can come up with is double commission when agent suggested we sell it to tenant, who she also represented, for much more. I told her that wouldn't "look nice" and besides I need to live somewhere.
