Albert McSloppy,

I was told by you that you are a licensed real estate broker, and was under the impression that you would be able to sell my home in a professional manner. You have proved to me that you do not posses the ability to properly sell my home. This is a serious matter and you have breached your duties that we had a clear agreement about. Some reasons why I believe you have failed to complete you responsibilities are you told potential buyers that Abraham Lincoln lived in the house once, when actually only one of Lincoln’s distant cousins stayed there for a day. Also, you told the people that were looking at the house to put in lowball offers around 80% of the actual list price, and said the reason was because Sonia told you confidentially that she had a drug addiction and needed the money to pay for rehab. Then you took a deposit and put it into your personal account which makes it look like your trying to pocket extra money. You lied about selling 10 houses in the past three months in the same area as Sonia's when this is truthfully not the case. Another point I'd like to bring up is how you represented your self in such an un professional way that made it look like selling the home was a joke. You showed to Open houses Smelling like alcohol, wearing flip-flops and a T-shirt, and while you were supposed to be assisting people around the home you just decided to watch TV instead. Another day you took clients to view the house in an old beat up truck. You even made unfair calls to ignore prospects with section 8 housing assistance telling them, "This is not a welfare house for sale." when Sonia didn't agree to such act.

All of these examples lead me to my argument of how you have failed to partake in the correct way to sell a home. Lying to a prospect saying that Abraham Lincoln lived in the house when he actually did not is not going to help the home sell and you being a real estate agent should

    I called a few companies in our area, and most contacts the person who answered the phone refused to help me unless I was a prospect willing to make a purchase. I even offered a meal instead of coffee, but most companies’ personnel felt uncomfortable providing a name and number for one of their associates. Most managers told me that he or she would mention during the staff meetings, but just in case an associate would be interested in the offer. I did not get any calls or e-mails back. I work for an insurance company and I thought an agent might be able to help me. I imagine these professionals have to make numerous calls to get the sale. The market is very competitive. There is a lot of advertising for personal insurance, home, auto, life, health, but the status of the economy, the commercial market must be more difficult. I contacted agents in Jacksonville area, and I did not get a response either. I looked in the company intranet, and I selected an agency that is very successful. I took a couple of calls, but I got the agency owner to call me back. He was very helpful and the following is my phone interview with him.…

    Wealth Accumulation

    How to make them work for you By John P. Hussman, Ph.D. Wealth is not acquired through addition. It is acquired through multiplication.Very few fortunes have been made by adding up paychecks and overtime. Nor are they made through a huge one-time killing in the markets. Unfortunately, this is the path that many investors try to follow in achieving financial security. While a high annual income is certainly helpful in achieving great wealth, it is not the primary determinant. And while a major move in the market can certainly have an impact, any single move is rarely an important determinant of sizeable fortunes (unless that major move is responsible for wiping an investor out and terminating the ability to continue investing in subsequent years).According to statistical studies, two factors are most important in achieving wealth:…

    i. The Primary Market: This is where the loan is originated. When you are ready to buy your house, you either contact a lender (at a bank or credit union) or a mortgage broker to establish a relationship for borrowing funds for the purchase of your home. It is during this process that the amount of the loan is analyzed (the amount you can borrow), the terms are reduced to writing through the Good Faith Estimate (GFE), which includes the interest rate, discount points, payback period, down-payment, and escrows, the appraisal, the type and form of loan are selected (conventional, FHA, VA), and whether the loan originator will hold and service the loan or sell it. The old GFE provided a statement as to the number of loans the originator sold (e.g., 0-25%; 26-50%; 51-75%; or 76-100%).…
