I wish that a point could be made to place the MOST blame where I feel it really belongs.....the banks for mismanaging risk, and the ratings agencies for ratingsub-prime loans, i.e., junk securities AAA. If they had rated themas the junk that they were, the "sub-prime" money would not have even been available to lend! Investors would not have ... See Moreinvested for a 12% yield for 100% loans for buyers with lower than 500 credit scores. A Moody's ratings agency analyst answered the question in a news report--"How in the world did you rate sub-prime loans AAA?" She said, "Our ratings model assumed real estate would always go up!" If you look at a chart of real estate prices since the Depression, real estate prices go down more than they go up....why are they not being sued by investors??? Do they get to miss the boat this badly? Where is the focus and accountability on these agencies who seem to be getting away with this scott free?

Truth In Housing Matters NAR direction is wrong and sad on many levels. By all accounts 2010 is going to be a devastating year for foreclosures. Incoming NAR president Vicki Cox Golder (from Tucson) says #1 goal in 2010 is more FREE stuff for REALTORS! I wish NAR's goal was about trimming ranks and amping up REALTOR professionalism. I don't se...e how you can amp up professionalism without raising the bar and reducing the number of real estate licensees. Do you?

My focus is consumer-centric, Jason, not agent-centric. That's the problem I have with NAR, a narrow, agent-centric focus. I will consider myself deleted in your mind. LOL

Truth In Housing Matters Will real estate commissions follow lead of CA Bar Assn. to protect vulnerable homeowners at risk of foreclosure? I do not see evidence of organized real estate coming to the plate. Are state real estate commissions and National Assn. of REALTORS really going to let state attorneys general lead this dance?

This is sick, but for whatever it's worth, I work with many many realtors, and I know for a fact that not one of them would EVER do anything like this, and it's not only because of the law, but it's because they don't feel that way!! I want to believe this is rare...it always amazes me that this kind of ignorant behavior is still out there--we want to belive we've come farther than this.....sad.

I had a deal years ago in Bethlehem ... a listing agent asked me about my buyers' race ... I refused to answer ... he "knew" the answer because a neighbor told him ... the contract was refused ... I called the broker ... I was so impressed ... she was on that case in a minute ... took over the listing ... negotiated the sale herself ... the agent found another office to hang his license ... she did all that via telephone from her digs at a conference out of town.
