A REALLY NEW TWIST!!!
This is a new one on me. I was just sitting here in the office and the person selling the “City telephone Directory” knocked on the door. This directory has addresses by street listing every house number, head of household, etc., for the entire area.
The salesman told me they have a new feature in this year’s edition: “The value of the house will be listed in the directory.” What do you think of that?
I was talking with a Realtor buddy this morning and he told me local Realtors are doing hundreds of PBO’s for a fee that are not for listings. I told him it was illegal and violated the Realtor’s code of ethics. He said: “So, what else is new?” Is any of this legal? Does any regulatory authority give a damn?
