In an effort to find some humor looking back on the world of real estate this year, I thought a Top 10 list would be appropriate. Here’s to all the real estate agents liars out there:

Top 10 Real Estate Lies of 2006

1. This is not a real estate bubble! These prices will only continue to rise.
2. Don’t worry, you can afford this house!
3. Rochester, NY and Flint, MI are the hottest real estate markets of ’06. You can’t go wrong!
4. This adjustable mortgage won’t harm you if interest rates go up!
5. You’ll be able to sell this house within a week!
6. I’m not just trying to get a commission selling your house . . . I really care!
7. Hurry! This One won’t last!
8. You’re crazy! You’ll never lose your home to eminent domain!
9. Trust me.
10. You can’t lose money on this one!

NOTE: Before you ostracize me, realize that this is not a rip on all real estate agents, but on the tiny percentage who make all the rest look bad. Unfortunately, agents aren’t highly regarded, most likely because of these guys. I was a licensed real estate agent in California and saw the damage these bad agents did to the rest of the community.
