Just you wait until Brad Inman sees THIS! You know how he likes Realtors to charge less – well I’m prepared to cut my fee until Bradley says,”YES”.
There’s always something to howl about.

Russell- I thought your NASCAR friend was doing this type of advertising for free? I suppose there is room in the infield for both.

Sorry Russell, but in the spirit of getting to zero as quickly as possible, I will offer to post a thumbnail image on the rear window of my Pinto station wagon for 10 cents 🙂

Now, THERE is a face that will stop traffic. How about $225, and you throw in the hosted bar and the map to the movie stars’ homes? THEN, you’ve got my attention.

I don’t understand the assertion that Brad Inman likes Realtors who charge less. Where does that come from? I honestly am just wondering because this is the second time i’ve seen such a statement.

Thanks for the answer, but I still don’t get it. Where does it say that Brad likes Realtors to charge less? I only see a question to open a dialog among readers.

Russell raise you a Redfin. I’ll charge $200 and refund you half after the trip is over.
Wait how do I make money doing that…

At last summer’s Inman RealConnect conference (maybe the summer before), Brad Inman complained offhandedly on stage about the high fees his long time Realtor charged! What a jerk!
He makes his living off of Realtors and he was arrogant, arrogant enough to complain about his longtime Realtor’s fees. It seemed he was ticked that she was reluctant to reduce her commission.
Like he didn’t make enough money from selling that HomeGain crap to Realtors.
I don’t mind if a friend or client complains about commissions but someone who makes his living off Realtor commissions should at least be smart enough to shut the hell up in front of a group of Realtors.
How arrogant!
