Why do realtors lie and say....HEY... A BUYER'S AGENT DOESNT COST YOU ANYTHING?
r
The thing is Yes The Seller Pays the Commission, but Yes the Buyer Pays More due to this, Obviously.. the Funny thing is Oftentimes a Buyer pays the Same either way and the Seller does not back off that amount, so either the seller gets it or the "Realtor" gets it and the Buyer still pays.
r
It should be, Sell without a Realtor and the Buyer gets a break and more protection, however, not often the case..
r
Just Stop Using Realtors.. NAR Member .. Period..

What Happens when you Go to Local Real Estate Board for Help?
Real Estate Boards believe the Realtor over the Consumer… Duh… When you go to a Local Association, local board of Realtors you are NOT heard. Most of the time they just send consumers away, or act like they are sorry but there is NOTHING they can do. Meanwhile they spend hundreds of thousands - yes at the local level to join Real Estate Boards around the United States and March up those Steps in Washington D.C. to lobby to keep banks out of Real Estate and other Self Interest Lobbying of Your Government AGAINST you.
after all they are the VOICE of Real Estate.
r
As a Realtor, a Broker Owner I went to the Local Board of Realtors to help for Consumers and Was SHUT Down. I have seen, talked to, heard of, been emailed by consumers who are NOT being heard by the Local Board of Realtors. That is not what they are they for.
The Local Association, Board of Realtors is there to support Realtors, to collect monthly dues, to set up databases and spend HUGE money devising new gimics to keep the Public out of the MLS. They are NOT there for you the Real Estate Consumer. What are you thinking? REALTOR is NOT a public entity, they are not a government funded Anything. They do not Have to Listen to your WOES, they do not care and No One makes them care. They claim to be the Voice of Real Estate, you believe their Lies of how you have Better Protection By Using a Realtor, an NAR member and yet when you have been duped, lied to and your life is Forever Changed they cannot, will not hear you at ANY Level of the Association of Realtors. Things that Make you go Hmmmmm… STOP Using NAR members, not all are bad.. No Way… most are Good SO what .. The Good ones can not protect you from what NAR is up to at EVERY level.
Boycott Realtor…

More Anti-Consumer Laws...
Here it Is...
"County of Los Angeles Department of Consumer AffairsNew Consumer Laws 2007"
B&P Code Section 10177
Current law provides that willful misuse of trade names, including “realtor”, are subject to discipline by the Real Estate Commissioner by revoking, suspending or denying a license.
This new law strengthens prohibitions against real estate agents from falsely claiming membership in trade organizations or falsely claiming to have special designations or certifications.
This law prohibits knowingly authorizing, directing, or aiding in the publication, advertisement or distribution of any false statement or representation concerning a designation or a certification, including trade organization membership.
The Real Estate Commissioner is authorized to suspend or revoke a real estate sales license for this violation."

So this DUMB - Dispicable - Anti Consumer Law makes it so that Realtors cannot use TRADEMARKS of Realtor, makes it so Real Estate Brokers that are not REALTOR - NAR members cannot even use the Word Realtor on there website even if they are talking about a Realtor - an NAR member or they Will Lose their Real Estate License.
Laws Enacted CLEVERLY disguised as Consumer PROTECTION but are obviously one more way to Force you to USE a Realtor, NAR member and to Force Real Estate Brokers to be Realtors but then say it is a Choice to Join NAR - if they cannot in Good Faith make this claim then they are deliberately and obviously violating Anti-Trust Laws.
So If I were a Real Estate Broker in California and used the word Realtor I would be falsley claiming "special designations or certifications"? what a Crock...
Consumers wake Up, State Real Estate Commisisons are FORCING - NAR members on you at the same time NAR is saying it is a Choice for us as Real Estate Brokers to join their "association" - which I call a Real Estate Cartel. And this above information is from the Department of Consumer Affairs - are Governing Bodies really that clueless to the Anti-Consumer tactics of NAR?
So in Los Angeles, If I were licensed their and I said Confession of a Realtor, or Realtor ...., or talk to your Realtor about... , or Realtors are lying to you... well I would lose my Real Estate Brokers license... Tell me NAR does not control State Licensing boards and Real Estate Commissions - and I say that is a Flat Out Lie.
r
Also NOTE that being a REALTOR is NOT a "Qualification" OF ANY KIND - you pay a fee to join, you Promise to uphold Ethics and Standards of Practice that no ones holds you accountable to - sure you have continuing Education so what you would have that if you were not a NAR member as well - you pay a monthly and yearly fee to be a "Realtor" - it is NOT a Qualification....

Do Realtors Create Distressed Sellers ?
Realtors do Lie. Realtors Create Distressed Sellers?
You cannot Trust that a Realtor is Really telling you about
all interested buyers or even all offers.
r
What if your Realtor actually lies about offers, don't tell you that there is interest and drags you out for months to years to makes it seem like no one wants the place. Then they drive the price down by telling you that no one is interested, it is just the market the price is too high.. when really they got interest but don't want you to know about it.
Or they get you to lower the price saying it is market when really it is because they do not know how to market on the internet and actually get your real estate for sale found where buyers are looking for it.
Just Sell without a Realtor.
Get found on the Internet Where Real Estate
Buyers are Looking for Real Estate Sellers
and Cut out the drama.
they ask, "Do Realtors Lie?"
