On February 20th I wrote a post; And I'm the Slime Ball!. In this post I described how a FSBO seller came in to my listing and accused me and Realtors in general of being slime balls. This person told me of this YouTube video that told the true story about Realtors and why banks should be in real estate. I watched the video and posted on it.
I believe if Crystal L. Cox, owner/broker, had ever done a cross sale on a bank owned property or short sale, representing a buyer, her opinion of banks in real estate might be drastically different.
I was invited by Crystal L. Cox, by comment on my post, to research her real estate company and I did. In no way does she identify her company or state of origin in any of her websites or blogs. After looking her up, I sorted through the other agents named Cox and her company became easily found on the localsearch.com under real estate agents in Montana. She is the owner/broker of Ten Lakes Realty in Eureka, Montana. Eureka is a pleasant little town, the zip code population is 3819 and the population density 12.34 people per square mile (courtesy of USZIP.com). There are 10 real estate companies with Eureka Montana in their address.
She boasts of how highly rated (SEO) she is across the country, she is, but not for real estate sales. She is #1 in Realtor ® bashers in the United States by looking at Google. I went to page 12 on my search for her company and saw no match using "Ten Lakes Realty Montana" for my search.
Crystal also boasts of only taking a week to become a Realtor ®. It took me 20 minutes to walk into my local Board of Realtors and sign up. I believe she may be referring to the real estate exam process for the State of Montana. Each state is different in their criteria for licensing, some are a lot harder than others.
I believe that there are bad real estate agents in our industry, but in general I believe the good agents far outweigh the bad. It is far easier to lump all real estate agents and Realtors ® in one group and boast how they are all crooks and don't care about their clients. I don't deal in generalization; I sell houses, not Google Ads.
I do apologize to Ms. Cox for some of the comments about her website and YouTube video, it was petty.
I am glad you read ActiveRain posts Ms. Cox. It is refreshing to get both sides of an issue, isn't it?
