Ramblings, ravings and rantings on the Real Estate world

You've GOT to see this!

Personally, I've grown weary of all the hoopla surrounding the recent 60 Minutes piece on Redfin.

But this is a VERY interesting take on it....

That really was great! I enjoyed it because I am a REALTOR®. I promise the rest of the world has already forgotten that 60 Minutes segment if they even paid attention to it at all in the first place.

In my previous career, we would go crazy every time we got bad press. I learned after 25 years in that field that no one else cared as much about those kinds of stories as we did. It made very little or no difference in our business either. Often, it was good for us to look at the issues they raised but the reports were not nearly as important to other people as they were to us.

Holly cow, I love it.

Less Stool and like the valley girl with the nerd, the part that put me over the edge with laughter was eating Spam for a break ha ha .

The only other thing that sticks out in the intro in the beginning with Point 2 as the headline, Hmmmmmm now did point 2 really have something to do with that?

Things that make you go Humm.

That was very funny.

As a an agent somewhere between a traditional Realtor and a New Internet Realtor, here's a conundrum that I have for all agents: If there is no such thing as a standard commission, then how can traditional real estate brokers insist on referring to certain brokerages as a “discounter” while strenuously maintaining there is no standard commission? Help me out here. How can agents refer to Zip as a discounter if there are no standard commissions?

That was great.  

I also liked P2A's other posts on YouTube too.  It's nice to put faces and voices with some of the names I see on the P2A site.

Has anyone met a customer that referenced the 60 minutes spot?

I haven't had one comment. Not even from an agent.
