The greed has sunk the USA RE market permanently. Why don't they return a portion of their commissions. The massive amounts of people underwater on their mortgages especially in AZ is frightening. Where are those baby boomer RE agents now? Greed, $$$$, and then those foreclosures that drive home prices further into the toilet thanks to joke mortgages given to anyone who can fog a mirror. Mexicans making min. wage, getting 700K no money down, hi-fi, we-fi, re-fi, re-fry, all that BS with those granite countertops, stainless steel, and big country kitchens, microwaves ovens, plasma, -----we call them the $60,000 millionaires. You see them all the time, their the ones renting beamers, renting tvs, no money down homes in Snottsdale, wearing credit card clothes, and up to their eyeballs in the debt musical chairs game.

Clearly the seller removed all doubt, as did their listing agent. Can you say "Get Real!"

It drives me crazy when sellers have all these little nit picky requests like changing title companies. Its like they are intentionally trying to sabotage their own deal.

Agents and sellers both need to make sure the information on their listings is correct. This is a simple process and should be the first step in marketing a home. “Make sure the info in your listing is updated.”

I just wonder about their Real Estate Agent.Is the home upgraded or does it have a premium lot? Maybe a pool? Either way it doesn't seem like the seller is doing more than wasting time and hoping for an ill informed buyer and Agent. I think many of these sellers are trying to hold onto an old market.

The real issue is so many of the real estate agents in Tucson are hurting so their scared to upset the seller and bring them into the world of reality because they dont want to lose the only chance they have to catch buyers off the for sale sign. Well I think that's thier hope anyway, because ther're not going to be selling the listing so that's the only reason I could imagine so many agent in Tucson would put up with way over priced listings.

We have had a seller or two, when forced by a buyer to use a title company they do not want to use, refuse to pay those items. That part is legal and not a RESPA violation.I've never understood why the buyer gets to pick when here, the seller is the one who pays for it.
