Paul Henderson Lacey Washington - the Infamous Slime Ball Post on Active Rain
And I'm the Slime Ball! (Members Only)
I was talking to a FSBO, (for sale by owner) who was wondering why Realtors were such Slime balls. It was nice that they dropped by my listing to ask. I asked why am I a slime ball, I had never even talked to this woman before. She said that her friend had showed her this YouTube video and then she had gone to this broker's website.

I told this woman that if she believed everything that appears on the internet, why is your house still for sale? It's because Realtors are restricting the market and making their houses so much more appealing to the public (I call it advertising.)
This woman claimed that Realtors had stolen all her for sale signs she had posted on the street corners directing people to her house. How did she know it was a Realtor that had stolen her signs? She said because who else would do it? I pointed out, if her house was located within the city limits of certain towns that sign ordinances were in place and the public works department collected signs that were out of compliance.
I don't want to drive more traffic to this woman on YouTube or her website but if you want to see some true propaganda look her up. If you want to subscribe, for $75 per year, you can learn all sorts of information about our industry. I also included her blog, for all the dirt. (I've seen shorter infomercials!)

I hated to break off this debate but I was waiting for my clients and really didn't want this person dragging my clients off with her tales of fantasy. I did ask her, if I brought her a qualified buyer, what she was offering in the way of commission. She replied "Screw You!"
I declined!
