		<description>Traditional real estate does serve the agents and not necessarily the consumer.  When agents step out of line with the group and become &quot;non-traditonal&quot; with different ideas and new ways of doing business watch how the group plans an attack.  Brokers are pressured to remain loyal to the group and do what is best for the sake of their jobs and then they can serve their clients.  Traditional real estate is &quot;not&quot; a consumer oriented business.</description>

		<description>Dear Anonymous,&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for participating on my blog.  It is always great to receive comments.  I did notice you did not identify yourself.  Why not?  On the content of your post, you apparently did not read my article very well, because I did NOT say there are no good agents.  In fact, there are many.  But my point is still valid.  Many agents are behind the times.  I listen to my clients.  This is what they are saying.  Perhaps you would like to share what you practice that sets you apart?  Wouldn&#039;t you like people to know who you are and what  company you represent?</description>

		<description>Mr. Marunde, who is himself a Realtor (real estate agent) may not have a clue as to the duties and responsibilities of a real estate brokerage firm in the traditional sense.  His statement that all an agent does is put a sign up and post a newsprint ad &quot;every 6 weeks&quot; is completely misleading and not representative of the committment a good real estate professional makes to the client.  Further, most (not all) real estate brokerages, have evolved in the past 20 years to provide up to date, top quality service to clients.  Would I rather trust a Real Estate professional or an ex attorney masquerading as a real estate broker?  That&#039;s a no brainer.</description>
