I was watching 60 Minutes last night and they had a segment about a company that did nothing but web based real estate transactions. Being in the business for 13 years and working with agents on a daily basis, I came to the conclusion that it was an unfair portrayal of the real estate industry and the agents that make it work. I have been getting more and more frustrated with shows like 60 minutes that used to be fair and balanced and now seem to spin their segments for their best interests. The air time for the online company compared to the real estate agent was two to one.  The National Association of Realtors has expressed disappointment with CBS for airing such a one-sided story on real estate.
 
I know first hand how hard the real estate agents that I work with work on a daily basis. The Rob Levy Team is at the top of the list when it comes to working hard for buyer or seller.  Sometimes they spend over a year showing homes to a potential buyer who may or may not ever choose to buy a home.  I also see very happy clients that could have never sold and purchased without their help. I remember when the online mortgage companies hit the seen and the news stated that I would be out of work in a year, well I am busier than ever. I think the same will hold true to this situation.
 
Have a great week!!
