bobby seems like a nice guy but the constant hype from him is damm sickening. if you're doing so damm well why do you have to brag on a internet board?it should be illegal to adverstise and spam on a forum like this. looking at the home i'm assuming you sold for 280k or so?

I was tempted to ignore your post as being baseless and without merit, but I'm compelled to address what is obviously a personal attack on your part. Few, if any, realtors on this board post any "hype" about either their business or the market in general. All are well aware that it's a tough business to be in these days, and most are struggling to feed their families. Though realtors may have played some part in what became this monster bubble, most reasoned people would agree that there's enough blame to go around. "Irrational exuberance"  was evident on the part of realtors, banks, mortgage companies, builders, developers, investors, Joe Buyer, etc. 
 
Illegal to advertise or spam?? Spam IS prohibited, but I can't think of a better forum for promoting your business than sowal. Many sowallers know each other; most know the local businesses and are quick to either endorse those worthy or ignore those that aren't. 
 
Bobby didn't create this thread. A satisfied customer did. Any business person in sowal or anywhere else would be thrilled to have an endoresment like that. And if your mention of the price was meant to denigrate Bobby's efforts, please keep in mind that neither he nor any other realtor or seller has the power to set market price, but a good realtor will tell a seller what fair market value is. Based upon the speed of the transaction, I'd say Bobby nailed it. 
 
Please go have a cocktail, and come back when you're in a better mood. :D

So are you saying that Realtors are, in part, to blame for pricing properties at prices which buyers were willing to pay, or do you believe the second bold part, that Realtors don't set the market price?

Congratulations on the praise from your customer, Bobby J.:clap:

[quote="whosyodaddy, post: 525175"]I just wanted to give some props this morning to Bobby Johnson.
 
We just closed on selling our home in Seagrove yesterday. I think it was less than a week between signing the listing contract and signing a sales contract.
 
If you are looking for someone to make it happen, he's the one.

Chanster, you Sicken ME.  I HATE MEAN POEOPLE . Sorry dude but the Business section is here to promote one's business and skills. This was a testimonial you moron and I'll give you another one.  Bobby Johnson is a very nice man, a good father and a very professional real estate agent. He and his partner have just completed a nine month effort of selling my mother's home and litterally saved her financial life. Chanster, If you have some self esteem issues, you have clearly picked the wrong guy to vent on.
"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle" PLATO
Sorry you can't enjoy a little positive news in your little negative world.

Bobby consistently gets high praise on this board.  He wasn't a flash in the pan like many realtors.  He is a long term local that has worked very hard to get to where he is and deserves all the reward that brings.

Bobby is a class act... if you had ever met him you would know that he IS an nice guy, with NO hype. He's the genuine article. If you dislike the content of one of Bobby's posts or feel he's crossed a line just PM him; he's the kind of guy that would probably meet you over coffee to work it out. Heck he might even take you surfing... or sell you a house.

I said that realtors played a part in bubble mania, not that they did it by setting price.

Nice, Bobby!  It is great to hear some good news. 

Another super SoWaller Realtor closed a deal today too.  I think we should all be excited about positive news in our little slice of paradise.:clap:
