The NAR’s 2008 “public awareness campaign” tries to tell you it’s always a good idea to buy a home. They say this “emphasizes the importance of homeownership in creating long-term wealth. Using data from respected third-party sources, the materials demonstrate the effect that homeownership has on household wealth.”

Who is the actress in this commercial?
60% of the ave homeowner’s wealth being from home equity is related to people having low networths. It’s not that they’re worth 10 million and 6 million is b/c of their home equity.
All the great thing a Realtor wants to do for me for “just” 3%:
I can be your Buyers Agent if you and I come to agree. The Realtors Only MLS searching will be my responsibilities; I will follow up with disclosures, flood plain and structures conditions such as foundations, Sellers Disclosures, and Insurance claims Investigations, proper follow up on Inspections and closing dates, and the easiest of all, Negotiations on your behalf.
Dont be fooled! These folks have a vested interest in screwing YOU.
NAR says I’m making a good move? Well that says it for me. Where do I sign?
I wonder how the Chinese will put up with their brand new American slaves?
Notice how a woman is the narrator in this ad? It’s because women fall for this shit. If a women is saying it, it *must* be right. Stupid men and their wallets full of money….who do they think they are?
Debt is NOT WEALTH! This cunt’ry is screwed!

Asking a real estate agent if today is a good day to buy a house is like asking a used car salesman if today is a good day to buy a car. Since when is buying a depreciating asset a good investment? You’re better off losing $2000 a month in rent rather than $5000 a month in depreciation over the next two years(that’s not counting agent commissions, taxes, maintainence, and homeowners insurance).
Nice one!
“long term wealth?” They are scrambling with the loss in sales, desparate to get new buyers. But, we all know to buy right now is pre-mature. Wait until 2009 or 2010. This is, if the world hasn’t yet been destroyed by nuclear war.
Your banker, your Real Estate Agent, your Car Salesman… none of these people are your friends. You should never look up information on the housing market posted by the sales agent.
You have got to be kidding. I hope these sleazy realthores get called off to jail.
BE SMART DONT BUY NOW.If you buy now, you will find a house like the one you bought for $100K or more less than what you paid. You effectively will be catching a falling knife and become instantly underwater on your mortgage! Imagine going to the bank and asking, “I’d like to open an account for minus (-)$100K”. After years of deposits adding up to $100K you will have $0 in the account. Silly isn’t it? Well that is exactly what you will be doing if you bought a house right now.

The NAR wants you to know you’re making a good move… you’re supporting their lame asses. Realtards must go away.
A lawyer is a One Time Fee…Not thirty years of payback…FUCK YOU REALTORS….You Lady should be held accountable for theses home closers and you should be made pay a price too…
The best thing to do is punch a Realtor in the mouth…There like Car Dealers..CONS!!…Silly people are taken because of the fast talk…Here is a bitch that trying to steal you money…between the owner and buyer… The Owner takes a beating too…Get smart…Use a Lawyer… Never a Realtor CONS…Let see how this works… either way…they get at least 10 or 20 % of the sale or the buying price…this con stuff is added to your Morage in thirty years costs you a bundel…
