What I fail to understand is why the powers that be let them sell real estate differently than the laws I have to practice, not to mention why the MLS allows them to continue to running the show.

In a sick and twisted sort of way, I'm kind of glad to see it's not just me, and not just Phoenix where this ridiculous (and wholly unprofessional) mentality takes place. Great post Aaron, and deserving of the Carnival win. A-FREAKING-MEN!!!

For me, I was one of several offers on a short sale. I kept looking but really wanted the house so I kept my offer in there. No communication from the selling agent at all, even when we called repeatedly. Finally, they were ready to deal and I was the only offer left. Should have been a slam dunk but the agent's "assistant" called back everyone who had withdrawn and re-accepted their offers at the original date. So even though the other offer was less than mine and was withdrawn while mine was steady and more, the bank accepted their offer (because it was "first") and my five months were entirely wasted. What a stupid business decision from the bank! I ended up buying a short sale from another agent in a good experience. But what a waste of my time, effort and emotion.

As usual...always informative, always entertaining. Someone needs to tell it like it is.
