I agree. realtors are s**t, and are about as much good as a chocolate fire guard..local knowledge, code of ethics, what a load of old s**t

I do wonder at what point just doing the damn realtor course/exams becomes cost effective. I mean how hard can they be? Lesson 1 - 'how to gurn like an idiot for your business card'

Funny that, when I was over on VI last month I told my realtor his picture looked totally insincere, he thought I was joking! I wasn't..

The property market is like waiting for a kettle to boil; analysis, watch and follow..nothing happens..go out of the room for a minute and the chuffer thing boils!!
