Anti-Consumer Bill of Rights

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

This Redfin Consumer Bill of Rights thing got me thinking …Glenn has it all wrong. Here is my list:
1. Shut your pie hole! You get the services we prescribe. One size fits all.

2. Shut it! The way your agent makes money is his or her business even if it results in misaligned incentives ( this is an economics doohicky that means giddy-up!)

3. You are committed to an agent if that agent saw you first or called it first. Next time wear your cloaking device idiot.

4. Your agent’s job is to put lipstick on the pig. All other services are redundant and therefore easily dismissed….cut your own #$@!ing grass!

5. Agents are trained by Jedi Masters to find that singular point of harmony between a buyers and sellers interests….plus money more is better than less (duh!).

6. There will be no commission refunds. Full stop.

7. The only houses for sale are the ones your agent takes you too see….trust them implicitly.

8. Have an open discussion about a house for sale… as long as it is in your toilet and by yourself. We will not tolerate free speech in NARmerica.

9. See only partial information available about a house for sale. Too much information confuses you silly little consumers. Here, have a lollipop!

 

10. Be sure your agent will show your house to everyone but the cheap bastards that will never pay the sticker. Good agents can tell..trust us.
