9% increase. From 75 to 82? From 10,000 to 10900? What are we talking about here?

The guy I'm talking to says all realtors, no exceptions.

I would argue that some realtors are scummy. This is true for most professions. I would also argue that most realtors are not scumbags. They might be bad to deal with (as another agent, inside the office etc) but I bet more of their clients are happy with the results they deliver than arent and had to sue them. Or they wouldn't be a top agent.

It's spurious to suggest that all realtors are lying scum when we know there are some, but it's not a majority.

In my jurisdiction, the realtor would have to have the client sign a document indicating they received a kickback on an inspector referral if there is one. Of course, preparing documents for realtors I've never done one of those. It's more likely that the inspector works with them often and they have trust. Also it's industry practice to suggest you use your own home inspector and at most provide a name if asked for one (do you have any you recommend? "I've before worked with xyz and it worked out").

Open houses are 99% the client expectation. Nobody wants to work an open house. Usually open houses are only to placate anxious sellers, as they view it as "part of the job". I've never known a realtor to push an open house, and often they end up paying junior agents to cover them since they don't accomplish anything except a 1% chance the junior agent could end up with a buyer client.

Also, when buying, you don't pay a dollar in real estate fees, so you saved $0 by doing it yourself. Congrats. Seller pays both realtors, when they use one. If you want to sell a house without a realtor, have at it. If you can market it yourself and make sure you have all your ducks in a row when it comes time to sign the offer, not miss any latent defect disclosures and meet all the other requirements, then great!

Lying to clients? That's be illegal. Not to mention (having worked in a real estate office, while not being a realtor), that isn't standard practice at all. If your agent lies to you, you can sue them. Where are the millions of lawsuits citing such cases?

Realtors aren't even allowed to lie to other realtors, at most they can omit unless specifically asked.

I bought march 110 calls in December I haven't closed (they're up like 700%) and may 120 calls last week which are just barely green. I mean, current price is still a massive undervalue vs what it's worth. But it was also under $90 a month ago, so with caution.

Yes, I have definitely seen a giant rip off his foot and start trying to club me with it before... Oh wait. Malenia is widely considered one of the most challenging bosses ever and she's totally not like any other. Maliketh idk, I guess Ive kill him too fast on both playthroughs to have a good opinion on him. He seems a bit easy.

Otherwise - shit, I'm almost done my second playthrough using totally different gear, stats, and skills and its like I'm playing it for the first time again. It's been so much fun sitting down to play almost every night for a year now. Granted I don't get hours a day to game anymore, but for my 1-2 hr nightly gaming sesh - elden ring has been the most fun I've had since xcom came out for ps4, and before that, probably when I got Skyrim for my ps3. That's 2 other games in the last 12 years that have been as much fun (for me) as elden ring has been.

Maybe it's the maple syrup in that particular bacon that a person should watch out for. Or the pancakes they drizzle liquid sugar on top of beside the bacon. Or the sugar-filled orange juice in a cup beside that plate. It isn't the fat in the bacon specifically making anyone fat. It's the combined caloric intake and the sugar that are the problem.

I think you know this, but the presence of something (IMCL) does not indicate its the cause of that thing.

Unless wearing large pants is also causing obesity?
