I agree and am glad you said it so I didn't have too... Lol. During the recent "ZTR" debate thread John repeatedly claimed the ZTR data was wildly innacurate, all the while being cited cases of their data being pretty much on the money. I find the innacurate data argument Laughable because the realtors are the very ones withholding the "accurate" data and refusing to share it. They are trying to hold onto an antiquated business model. Rather than share the sales data and embracing the new "ZTR" technology and sing it as another tool to assist their clients in making the best I formed decision, they refuse to share the sales data and then complain ZTR don't have it so they can't provide accurate I formation. Seems like a loosing proposition to me but I am just a dumb redneck (who happens to have bought/sold more real estate without a realtor than with)

Years ago I read an article on the most overpaid "professions" in America. "high end" real estate agents were at the top of the list. I have friends and family in all aspects of real estate from agents to mortgage brokers. There is nothing special to any of F it. I called one local agent about a lakefront lot she had listed to get the list price. She immediately started the sales pitch in a which focused in the lot having "year round water". I ask her definition of year round water and said able to park a boat at the perfect all year. At the time we were 4 feet from winter pool and the per was already high and dry. Totally unusable but she continued to argue with me that it was year round water. I finally ended the "discussion" by asking her if she is a liar or just that imcompetent. Who was into believe, her or my lying eyes.
