I never cheated anyone out of his or her money. You don't know me or how I did or didn't earn my money, yet you're eager to cast accusations. As I've said before here and on my personal blog, I know that Realtors and agents work hard. I'm not denying that. The thing is, they work hard in a system that is screwed up. This system sets it up for normal homeowners who work hard for their investments to *have* to use the MLS service. Why? Why should their be an elite club of people who are the only ones allowed to see for-sale properties? I saw the light several years ago when I was introduced to Buy Owner, and I've never been the same since. The post above is pure quotation. These facts are out in the news today. Maybe you should contact those reporters and see if they're bitter about their past in stealing money from people. You'd have just as much information to back up that statement as the ones you've made here. Jane Gregory Bain:

Why not pay the broker his fee? Most likely you would not have found those bargain properties you were able to flip without having your license hanging in his office. Pay the man.
