#Zillow #RealEstate #Realtor
This aged very well. Bearish on Zillow
If you can't sell your home when people are paying cash and having bidding wars not sure what to tell you
That is no Undermining, if consumers are stupid that is their problem ……..
Zillow is attempting to control the real estate pricing, suppressing markets then making an offer to buy properties from the owners whose prices Zillow has suppressed. Unethical power addicts run this organization and border on acts of 'slander' by falsely publishing incorrect values of owners properties.
There should be a public service with a minimal tax to list properties for sale all across the world
Good reporting!
For Sale By Owner = A stress free transaction. Hiring a realtor = Drama. Stress and Headaches.
Class action lawsuit let's go, get rid of this real estate agent profession
Rex will win. It's sneaky and misleading. I never found by owner on there and I tried. It seemed odd why there was none but I never knew be why.
Omg because people can't manage their settings someone else must pay. Maybe people trust realtors vs house flippers
My goodness learn to use a website. It's just literally just a click away to see homes listed by individuals.
Here In Miami Beach the Realtors lie so much Home owners be careful
TRUE…….
I paid $280 to get a realtor license myself, way cheaper than paying those clowns to list my home. That little course saved me thousands of dollars, and I will continue to give my "Free" advice to my family and friends just to screw those licensed morons.
Realtors only work and represent themselves, not the buyers nor sellers. Paying those clowns huge commissions is just a mistake. Do some research and you will be surprised to see how much you can save by selling by yourself. If buying, most lenders have knowledge about the process and they can help you.
Lol. Ya, they do it on purpose.
It's a SHAM! Get your own signs at Lowe's and place ad in paper. Save thousands! Pre-qualify buyers thru your chosen mortgage company. May not need atty., title company, yes. Sold 2 of my homes. Why pay a Realtor if you can swing it? I end up giving buyers more in closing costs if I'm not using an agent
The real estate agent is working for the buyer and for himself or herself! The agent places both himself and the buyer before you the seller! But, they want you to pay them for telling the potential buyer to make a low offer!
That way you pay the agent for decreasing your profit! Doesn’t that seem a bit oddâ€â€Âpaying a realtor to work against you. JWC
I used a flat free RE broker to sell my place and they only charged 0.5 %. The buyer went directly to them. They handled all the paper work and advised in RE laws and disclosures. I did have to do some of the work myself, like meeting inspectors, etc. It was totally worth the savings.
I sold my last house myself and saved big.
I work at a brokerage.
You’re supposed to have a realtors license in order to buy/list any home.
So I guess it’s legal to sell your own home? Without a license ??
Someone lmk
No, RE agents are scammers and leaches.
This is a bogus lawsuit. I do real estate research on a daily basis and it is very easy to find homes listed for sale by owner. Just click on "other." That's all you have to do to see them. There is no anti trust issue here because it is just as easy to find for sale by owner homes as it is to find agent listed homes. This matter is far too trivial to clog up the court system with. Plus, Zillow is in no way obligated to even list homes that are not offered by agents. Plus the only thing that any seller could actually sue for is what they lost and since Zillow is free for home sellers to list their own homes all they could sue for is $0.00.
And then they end the piece with, "BUT, but, but you really should use an agent." How much did NBC get paid for that?
Agents are scams
