Sacramento Real Estate Gal in Good Company!

As all my clients know by now, this post by me caused a huge amount of responses, mostly hateful. There's a large number of people out there in cyberworld that hate Realtors. There's also a large number of people that hate real estate investors. Unfortunately for me, I fall into both those categories and get attacked rather frequently.

However, recently I came across some pretty nasty stuff that called into question my honesty and integrity as an Realtor. I will not give the blogger the pleasure of a link but here are some direct quotes:

"Does this mean all real estate agents lie to get a listing or make a sale? Enough of them do to get them all lumped into the same group [my post] That is exactly what I meant. She either knows precious little about what she is talking about or she hides her knowledge well."

Oh wait. It gets better. Here's another one:

"She doesn’t understand the market forces driving the foreclosures right now and if people rely on her to help them figure out which home is a good investment for them, they might have a lot of reason to worry about the safety, security and wisdom of their ‘investment’."

Obviously, this person had a bone to pick because he didn't bother reading my responses to all the comments or even to read anything else on my blog that would have proven otherwise. But then again, he also thinks David Lereah, Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors, is a liar and "doesn't have a clue."

One wonders, if this person is a real estate investor, doesn't it help his agenda to tell you that Realtors are liars? After all, the lesser Realtors there are out there protecting your interests, the easier it is for him to buy YOUR home dirt cheap.

But don't worry about me. David Lereah, Robert Kiyosaki, A.D. Kessler, Donald Trump, Robert G. Allen - all real estate investors have been criticized and their integrity called into question. I figure I'm in pretty good company.
