I started up my web business in my mom's basement fresh out of college; within a year I had $20k banked and set out to move into a very basic studio in Boston. I was 22 at the time, with no means of verifying my employment. I also have a young face and, well, was VERY scruffy during those years. I was a web guy. What can I say? Anyway, needless to say I couldn't get any realtors to take me seriously. I understand risk management and all, but they were pretty much all assholes about me wasting their time. I just gave up dealing with professionally managed listings - which left me with extremely little choice in Boston. I'm 30 now, and thankfully have only rented from owners since. I truly dread the day I'm ready to buy a home and have to affiliate with realtors again. My dislike of Realtors was handily solidified in my early twenties.

You don't know what work is ... yet you look down on the people who do it. It takes real work to make nice things. The work that goes into making a house is hard, dirty and sometimes dangerous. The only dangerous thing you assholes can do is drive while you talk on a cellphone. You strut like peacocks, and brag about how much you know about real estate. The truth is that you could not build a house fit for a dog with your own hands if your life depended on it.

However, I don't think we should lose sight of one thing. That although there are exceptions to every rule, it's not the exceptions that make the rule. Your industry is full of assholes. So many in fact it's difficult to distinguish good from bad. They give any decent agents who exist out there a VERY bad name. Tell you what, you guys do a little housecleaning and work on improving your industry, and I'll improve my attitude towards realtors. Coach A,

I suggest you go to the Dr - and in Johnny Drama like fashion, get yourself a medical maryjane card - then go and find some of Cali's finest - and take a few to your dome. You need to chill the F*CK out and keep in mind that you are making a giant generalization. I don't mind ya havin at Realtors in general -- hell we laugh at our colleagues everyday in my office -- but ez there big dawg. Pretty soon you are going to say we should have our own schools! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythrdCsOFJU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gA5094cy9U Hey Phil - your words are hurtful and you’ve ruined my self image and self worth.

This market is way down from where it was 20 months ago - So if you are a seller, can wait a few years, you need to do so, or you will take one hell of beating with regard to your equity. If you are a renter - you might be best to stay a renter depending on your circumstance. If you are a buyer and do not have to purchase now - the market is still in a decline so wait. - Who would of thought. This is how we have built our business - One Client at a Time!

There's nothing worse in this world than having to be nice to people who don't deserve it. And trust me when I say this...none of you deserve it! Bunch of demanding, whiny, lil bitches. There is no justification for what you do. You're all whores and thieves. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself. Or maybe the bad market may do work for you and help push you over the edge:)I'd like that. The job would be great if it wasn’t for all the fucking Real Estate Agents!
