Nar – For Sale By Owner - Scare Tactics

Posted by admin

Don’t sell your home FSBO – you will be robbed, raped or god forbid – worse. The NAR has been promoting this fear mongering for years. Here is a direct quote from a “Realtor” Ezine article (please note - the author refers to himself as a “Seasoned Real Estate Broker”) titled “NAR(r) Broker Will Swear It - Real Pro’ Agents Share It - FSBO “Truth” - and I quote - “Sometimes, the “Truth” hurts. Yet, being ripped off, raped, or even worse – hurts a whole lot more. Ask any police officer if home sellers should open their doors wide to strangers.” Are you serious? So is that why we pay 6% sales commission to sell a home – Security/Background checks? Now it all makes sense – I finally understand the value – give me a break! There may have been a time when real estate agents actually “screened” clients before bringing them to your house – that said, I firmly believe it was done to determine what they could afford and weather or not they were wasting the realtor’s precious time. I guarantee I can set up an appointment – through a Realtor to view a house within the next hour – they will take my first name – PERIOD!
