Interesting tidbits for Monday reading

November 13, 2006

Repeat after me: homes are selling...homes are selling. [from the Inman Blog] They are. Just not very fast.

Do sellers really not know what their agent will be paid? [from the Inman Blog] Transparency is not that hard...we do it day in and day out.

Are FSBO transactions on a downward trend? NAR thinks so. [from the Inman Blog] Maybe more are finding Fee-For-Service agents...I wish.

Sellers scrutinize the value of regular brokers' services. [Saturday Washington Post] Another reason Fee-For-Service just might be the answer.

Real Estate agents do not control buying and selling! [Bloodhound Blog] Dammit! Maybe I did learn this somewhere along the way.

Finally, the name BLOG is being questioned. [Dustin from move.com and Rain City Guide] Have you noticed I try to avoid silly jargon like post, permalink, trackbacks, categories, Blogroll, Blogosphere......what's wrong with just plain talk? You can change the name of Blog to Juice...and it still won't matter! How about Real Estate Juice for a Blog name? Somebody jump on this one. In the meantime, we keep on Blogging (or, writing articles that express our knowledge, wisdom and/or opinions on topics of interest). I think Blog is here to stay. Lets get rid of all the other techno speak! Maybe then regular people will understand us better.
