The Real Estate Racket
Real Estate, or more specifically the Real Estate Industry, is a racket.
You can disagree, but a realtor once confessed to me that the only reason for the very existence of real estate agents is to make the process of selling, or buying, a home as simple and stress-free as possible for the client.
Yet from personal experience over the past year, that is not the case. Not by a long shot.
Of course, part of my problem is my own fault. Over the course of time, I’ll try to explain that. A lot has to do with my own inexperience in the transfer of real property. Still, I can’t help but believe that the “Realtor” is supposed to understand that aspect. Hence, the reason for his or her existence: To make it as painless as possible, particularly for the inexperienced.
I’ve learned two things:
- Crooked, unscrupulous realtors abound, and
- Even honest realtors don’t always know what they’re doing.
I chose the latter, and got screwed by the former. Or was it actually the latter? My story will unfold in the days to come.
I’d be interested in your comments, just to take the temperature at the start.
