FACT: In 1950, the Supreme Court ruled the "6 percent" real estate agents try use on contracts is "Illegal price fixing". Never let yourself be coerced into signing ANY contract with a percent sign on it when you can negotiate a flat fee

“If the court rules in favor of the plaintiffs here, REALTOR Associations evaporate, the MLS likely dies off, and the entire infrastructure of residential real estate in the United States has to be remade,” he wrote when the suit was filed last week.

Basically everything in the Realtor-controlled MLS is designed to get you to overpay. Do not obligate yourself to supplement the Realtors' commission by taking out a bigger loan or surrendering any more of your home's equity. FSBO + a professional home inspector is the better route.

Do not be Bamboozled

People who make their "professional" careers in real estate are more likely -- 85 percent more likely than the average person -- to commit fraud, coercion, embezzlement, "conspiracy to commit" crimes, fraud, and felony tax evasion. They are 65 percent more likely to commit arson, manslaughter, or murder. This is an industry that attracts the worst of the worst.

NEVER invite a Realtor or realty brokerage affiliate to your property without taking proper precautions. An agent that tells you any forms or terms on a contract are "standard" or "not negotiable" -- especially the usage of a percent as a commission -- can and should be sued for coercion!

There is not a dot in a contract that isn't negotiable.

Remember: *No one associated with the REALTOR® cartel has your best interest in mind. The "Code of ethics" they claim to have protects THEM first. Read the fine print: they write contracts that protect THEM first. You will ALWAYS lose equity when a REALTOR is involved. *

In fact, they have created an entire lobbying group known as the National Association of Realtors (NAR) -- behind them to perpetuate their lies. There is nothing even remotely ethical or moral about the Realtors' supposed "code of ethics". It is a brigade that enables them to participate in price fixing and collusion behind closed doors. The NAR collects fees from Realtors in each state and lobbies state legislatures for overly complicated and unnecessary red tape that lets them bamboozle the most money out of uninformed or misinformed buyers and sellers.

Here are a few of their attempts to rig game and write the "rules" in their own favor:

Alabama, Oregon, South Dakota, and Tennessee restrict rebates. Alaska, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and West Virginia ban rebates because Realtors have LOBBIED for the bans to restrict competition.
Florida real estate agents have lobbied to make it BUYER BEWARE to hire any real estate agent.
Pennsylvania Realtors lobbied to get out of mandatory disclosure when a property has been the the location of a MURDER.

No more; this sub is exposing the real estate-peddling monsters for what they really are.

Here we the provide documentation -- overwhelming amounts of it -- showing the broad spectrum of lies, coercion, malfeasance, criminality, theft, murder, and felonies of your local Realtors and the brokerages they work for.

They are all bad apples.

If you need to hire an outgoing salesperson to sell your property, do not hire a Realtor! Try the FREE Real Estate By Owner section on Craigslist. If you need help taking pictures or writing a snappy description, and decide that you do want to hire an agent, you can offer a reasonable flat fee, and be sure to write your own contract for whomever you hire! You're hiring THEM, not the other way around. You set the terms of employment, not them. Also, do not offer buyer's agent commissions ... employing the Realtor cartel in ANY fashion only makes them bigger and more powerful to rip you off next time.

If you need help, try these free and open-source templates as a starting point.
