All the real estate flunkies are silent

by Matt

It has now been a week since negotia-gate, in which the Redin CEO stated that their agents beat down other agents by .9% in negotiation skills, and the trolls are coming out:

The silence from Greg Swann, Marlow Harris, and the rest of the real estate flunkies is absolutely deafening. First they claim you guys are liars, then call into question the Seattle Times’ integrity, and now they can’t even muster a rebuttal…

hmmm…Greg are you flunking? doesn’t look like it from the amount of buzz you create.
Marlow, how about you? are you going to be silent?

I was a real estate agent for 1 year…it was the hardest job I ever had, I loved marketing, but hated everything else. I now work with Realtors and help them market, and It is the most fun job I’ve ever had. Real estate negotiating is stressful, demanding, empowering, and rewarding, especially when you get your client everything they asked for…You can’t put numbers on this.

Here are some words from the flunky, silent real estate professionals
