Almost Everday there is some Scam artist taking advantage of the Realestate market where the Real Eastate Agents are sued for duing their Jobs… I don’t know what the Laws are in your Backwater Wild West of a State where you live But…

In NJ you sign a Legal contract With the Real Estate Agent if the Agent does not perform their fiduciary obligation to the Party that they are representing then you can and will sue… Get a Clue will you people… Fines and Lawsuits are as commonplace as Speeding tickets in the industry.

What is this Realtor talk anyhow NAR is A Members Only Club not all Real Estate Agents are members.

What the Hell is Redfin Doing for the Client anyhow?? Putting a Classified ad on the Local MLS??? giving you a Spot on thier website??? Shoot… why give them $3,000 and 1% of anything they make you do all the Work No Open Houses (just let your wife and Kids show it to strangers alone) You print your own Precious Fliers…. What sells A house and any house is what has always sold every house…

Price

undervalue a home in any market will get it sold no matter where you are or live..

And Finally if your contract witha traditional Agent ends who pays for all the Advertising MLS fees, Virtal Tours, Slideshows, Photography, Mailers,Website Costs, Yahoo, Google, and Realtor.com fees,Openhouses, Broker opens, Caravans and the Agent for all the Time they invested into your home???? No one… It is just part of the Business the Agent and the office eat all costs. But Redfin Gets $3,000 no matter what happens

My response is at http://www.collier-associates.com/CollierBlog as it is a little long. Congrats Redfin!</p> <p>There are many of us out there who do an excellent job and to answer the question about what a Realtor owes to a buyer will depend on state laws where the buyer is buying and the agency relationship.</p> Thank goodness someone is getting the word out!!

But, what responsibility does a Realtor have to me as a buyer? In practice (one purchase, one sale, two rentals), the answer seems to be none. If I was concerned I would hire a lawyer who at least has some legal obligations to protect my interests.</p> <p>Has a Realtor ever been successfully sued for malpractice?</p> Jennifer raises an important point.

Has a Realtor ever been successfully sued for malpractice?

What will separate the professionals from the pretenders is the service they provide to the clients. Buying or selling a home is serious business since it is one of the largest investments that most people will ever have. I would rather pay more to get it right with a professional than to make a mistake that might cost me thousands.</p> The competition will continue, as it should, in an open market.
