Who do you think you are kidding? You are lowly paper pushers compared to doctors and lawyers who had attended YEARS OF SCHOOLING PEOPLE to get what they have. They didn’t take an online course and sit an easy written test of 150 questions. I am sick of reading about parallels between doctors and Reel-torrrrs. The old adage is alive and well – no one thinks more highly of a Reeltorr than the Reeltorr himself. Perfect. Get real. Be prepared to be disintermediated. Dinosaurs. I won’t be paying no stinkin 6%,5% or even 4%. Try 3%. IT WONT BE LONG NOW. ”

\nI don’t compare myself to a surgeon except in the income department – I make more than they do. I don’t think I am kidding anyone. You can think of me (and other Realtors) in any way you like (lowly paper pushers). I neither need nor want your approval. If you live in the Phoenix area you would not be able to pay me any amount, because you are exactly the kind of person I choose not to do business with – and if you somehow snuck in under the radar, rest assured, I would have spotted you anyway and cancelled your listing.
\nNo matter what you write or where you write it I am going to go right on surviving quite nicely – as are all of the other Realtors. Further one of my primary objectives – why I am here posting at all – is to let the rest of the real estate community know that people like you (I’ll be much more specific in just a bit) should just be avoided, no matter what fee you would be willing to pay. So thank you for getting me to make this post at this time.
