In my post I wrote, "First, one must ask if the environmental fervor to save wetlands is based on real science." You kind of prove the point that there is little or no science involved. With all due respect, you are all irrational emotions and no fact. Still I appreciate your participation. You see, I can be persuaded by true facts. If you have them. Can you?

I helped start a company that is focused on assisting non profits and home owners to create successful home raffles. www.USAHomeRaffle.com. You mention that there isn't any profit in there for the home owner, well actually there is... and in this economy there is more profit in doing this then selling it normally. Right now, most people can not even get the appraised value for their home, they are left to sell it below it appraised value. You simply take what the buy offers. With a home raffle you are guaranteed to get the appraised value and that alone for some home owners (in todays market) is a huge benefit. (Of course the raffle needs to be a success and that is where we come in. ) When you look at our win win scenario, I think you will find a few more benefits to it as well. http://usahomeraffle.com/EverybodyWins.asp Thanks for keeping an open mind Have A Great Day Ser Greene Good Day Chuck,

]]> Comment on Dual Agency and The Exclusive Buyer’s Agent by Chuck Marunde http://sequim-real-estate-blog.com/exclusive-buyers-agent/dual-agency-and-the-exclusive-buyers-agent/#comment-1331 Chuck Marunde Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:29:47 +0000 http://sequim-real-estate-blog.com/?p=493#comment-1331 Thank you Joel. What happened to you should never happen. I'll go back to my original post and include a link to the Washington Post article and the International Real Estate Digest article on your case. Folks, Joel's case is proof positive that you really do need an exclusive buyer's agent. Wisdom strongly urges you to use a buyer's agent and avoid dual agency. By the way, I am a Realtor, but I was very surprised to learn in the Post article that according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 70% of agents don't fully disclose their dual agency representation to buyers in their first meeting. "According to new research by the National Association of Realtors, just 30 percent of all buyers in 2005 received disclosures about representation from their agents at their first meeting. Nearly half of all first-time buyers either received no disclosures during the sales transaction or were unaware of whether they did or did not." Thank you Joel.
