Heaven definitely has a plan... but it is not "real estate".

No I have not .. however I will check it out.

Not familiar

Ah yes, Mr. TOO LONG Blog Poster. He can hit some good points, but often his blogs are pretty wordy.

I know of him from my Coldwell Banker days and random Inman articles. I know he's worked within the industry but do not understand him to have ever held a license? However, while I do agree with him- we have too many licensed bozo's, I have a hard time taking criticism from a guy who's never been in the trenches.

I do agree with him in this article though; the Realtor designation should stand for and insist on competence & character; not just another fee collected  for the NAR account. Thanks for posting the link Ronald Gombach I'd missed this post previously.

Any post that starts out with "Well, the number one problem of the real estate industry today is rampant incompetence on the part of the real estate agent. (In some cases, that incompetence crosses over into unethical and even illegal behavior.)" has my attention. In my opinion it was well-written and I will definitely want to read more of his views and solutions.

I just checked it out.  Clearly it's not something to read when it's late and I'm sleepy!

Thanks for head's up.  A

I've never heard of him

I didn't know.

Interesting stuff, Ronald Gombach .  I would join that cause, if asked!  

Will check it out!

Thanks for providing the link, Ronald.  I hadn't previously heard of him.  

Thanks for heads up Ronald Gombach 

On the fly this morning but will check it out.

I will go back and read it...just scanned it.... he sounds like my kind of guy!

Interesting read

I have not, but will check it out

I will now!

I do read hm and have listened to him speak. I don't agree on everything he says but he is an important dissenting voice.

Thanks for sharing the information today

I need to check this out.

No.

No.

I haven't read it. I'll check it out.

I haven't read this. Thanks for sharing the link. 

No I haven't. Thanks for shout out. I'll check  it out later. 

I don't have a lot of reading time but will check o it.

Thought that said "Heaven's Gate" at first.  Yikes!  Stay away from those comets!!

I'm not familiar with the Notorious Rob, the article was way too long; didn't read.

Thanks for the heads up, skimmed the article, have heard the complait before, but it is not likely to ever be solved as long as the government regulates who works in this industry rather than letting the market decide.
