Bernie Hassan - to Joel Stern Real Estate Consumer - "I Owe YOU NOTHING!!!"

First of All Folks as an Ex-Realtor, and still a Real Estate Broker Owner... I do owe the Real Estate Consumer alot - I owe it to the Consumer to first admit that I really did want to obey those Ethics and to Obey the Law and to do right by the Real Estate Consumer and there Was No Way for Me to Do this.

I reached out to all the resources available to me FBI, BBB, State and Local as Well as National Association of Realtor Outlets, Attorneys, State Boards and THERE was and Is no way to really help the Flat OUT Attack on the Real Estate Consumer.

Laws are Seriously Irrelevent as the Good Ol' boys, corrupt courts, attorney fraternities, NAR, Franchise with Big PULL ( like ERA - Sotheby's, Coldwell Banker and C21) they are in control of local courts and even supreme courts. And there is no way to Enforce Laws little own Ethics and here we have Bernie Hassan - Realtor Claiming "Well it's Legal" WHAT!!!.. this is bigger then Dual Agency. Why engage in a Consumer Smackdown like this Bernie Hassan - why not just simply in Great Detail state your stance and move on. This Real Estate Consumer attack simply hammers the point home that Realtors don't really care about the Rights or the Voice of Real Estate Consumers.

What good would a Phone Call for the Consumer to "vent" or discuss this with you do. The Damage is done and there is No Accountability, NO one is Listening to the Real Estate Consumer.

HERE is Bernie Hassan 's ONE More Consumer Attack on Joel Stern

"" What facts are you looking for?? Dual agency is legal in Massachusetts. We practice all real estate with the highest levels of integrity!! I’M SORRY YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE. But it had nothing to do with me and honestly it is not so much that I do not care about the consumer I do! It’s just your self righteous attitude…I owe you nothing!!!

If you would like to call me sometime and go over your experience I’d be glad to speak with you.

So What is Joel Stern - Real Estate Consumer's Ax To Grind with Bernie Hassan, With Weichert Realty and Just How "Silly" is it?

Bernie Hassan - Weichert Realty Says to
Real Estate Consumer Joel Stern:

" Apparently you have an ax to grind and it’s not with me or any of my agents. Clearly by your email and the list of people you are connecting me to have an issue. While I do feel badly about how you were treated you seem to want to make a hard and fast case that the entire industry is corrupt when that is not the case. Again we have been successful with our well trained and managed staff.

All contracts can be written subject to legal review. It is an accepted and worthwhile practice that allows attorney’s to have a say in a client contract after the offer is written and accepted by the seller prior to a P&S agreement where legal counsel has more input.
Maybe you should not be so one way with your thinking.

Bernie "

JOEL Stern's Response to Bernie Hassan

"" Dear Mr. Hassan:

Yes, I certainly do have an ax to grind, not on my own account but on behalf of the countless millions of victimized citzens whose legitimate right to fair and competent representations has been flouted for some 15 years, even since dual agency and other unconscionable practices were foisted on the unsuspecting public by the NAR lobby and its lickspittles in government and so-called regulatory bodies.

Did you actually read Ken Harney’s article that I sent you? If so, you must have seen that the NAR’s OWN surveys over the past decade showed that the GREAT MAJORITY of real estate agents are violating their statutory obligations vis-à-vis clients.

Do you think this happens by sheer accident, or is this pattern indicative of a longstanding systemic problem in the real estate industry, which seems to consider itself beyond all legal and ethical restraint, judging from its deplorable record of compliance with the law?

If the widespread occurrence of statutory violations by agents is not proof of widespread incompetence at the least, or deliberate deception of consumers in the worst case, please tell me what it does mean?

I should mention that unlike in New Jersey, contracts in most states do not require legal review for final approval. And even if this practice were instituted nationwide, do you think the majority of financially strapped citizens have the wherewithal to afford high-price legal expertise to review every contract they sign to purchase a house, a car, or other costly item?

I’m talking here about real life, not about some abstract right that cannot be exercised in common practice, where clients normally rely on the advice of fiduciaries to guide them through complex procedures.

Do you believe that consumers in the housing market are being adequately served by state real estate commissions whose membership largely comprises agents and real estate attorneys affiliated with the industry they are tasked with regulating and punishing in the event of violations?

Since you failed to answer even a single one of the questions I sent to you, but limit yourself to pious generalities about the overall integrity of the real estate industry without producing any substantive evidence for this assertion, I will continue to maintain that the NAR lobby is shot through with corruption and conflicts of interest that have played a major role in precipitating the housing bubbles and ultimately the economic crisis. Your industry is long-overdue for public exposure and an overhaul of its harmful practices. ""

the Real Price of a Lawsuit

the Realtors Win, their E and O insurance Protects them FROM you.. You Lose. It does not matter how much proof you have against the Realtor the system is in place to protect the Realtor, Why, they are Billionairs and they Lobby Government Agencies and Law makes to create laws - to make it so that REALTOR - NAR is so big no one can touch them.

Consumer spend years fighting for the Justice that is Rightfully theirs. And though the Realtor really did hurt the consumer, waste years of their life, take away their assets and cause Emotional, Physical and Financial Damage ~ the Realtor gets away with it. NAR does nothing to help the real estate consumer. Though NAR pretends that this is their whole purpose for existing.. Again.. Flat Out Lie.

After Fighting for Years, whether the Consumer that was wronged wins or not People Get Frustrated, they get tired and after years of fighting against the REALTORS and of course, Losing, they just want their life back so the stories go away.. I am Dedicated to the Stories of Realtors hurting the Real Estate Consumer Staying Alive.

My other Blogs are www.CrystalLCox.com www.BrokersAdvice.net .

The answer that NAR - and the Laws they push for have is to SHUT the Consumer up, to make it so their frivolous lawsuits are Stopped by law, and to continue to strive to make it harder for the Real Estate Consumer to get any Kind of Justice from the Realtors that harm them. The E and O insurance of the Realtors is a Very Big Part of this.

This is insurance is to get rid of those darn frivalous lawsuits that consumers have and to Defend the Realtor. It is in NO WAY the Intention of the Real Estate E and O insurance to Protect the Real Estate Consumer. Yet Oddly Enough, and in complete shocking wonderment, E and O insurance is Mandatory By Some State Realty Commissions - Regulations. Do they think that this insurance is to Protect the Public or do they believe that the public is simply liying about the Realtor for Self Gain.

Though What I see is People simply want justice in these situations where it is VERY obvious and easily provable that the Realtor harmed the Consumer yet the Realtor Pays Nothing and is Free to do Damage to the Next Consumer.

Post on this Blog, Email your Story or Videos to Crystal@SavvyBroker.com , Video tape the lies and fraudulant acts of your Realtor and send them to me. No One is Really Listening to you. No One is Really Protecting you, the Best thing to do is to Expose the Realtors that are harming you.

If these Realtors were MADE to be accountable for their actions, the Good Realtors and their are some out there - they would be able to do their jobs for your best interest. But as the system stands now it is impossible for an Honest Realtor to Protect you in the Current Real Estate Industry Climate.

The Real Price of a Lawsuit is Your Life, your every waking moment, your sleepless nites, your life in shambles and the kick in the head while your already down with No Justice against the Realtor that Lied to You and is allowed to keep on making money Hand over Fist while you wait years for a "settlement" or for a judge and/or jury to have mercy on you.. the REALTOR wins no matter how you look at it...
