I would apply to your "conspiracy theory" if many agents weren't experiencing the same problems as their clients.
That's a good point.

Who would you ask? Just curious... A baker? A bartender? Actually, all good people to ask... Get a lot of information from everyone and get a good honest agent to help you make some descisions. I think if you are buying to flip in a couple years not so good. If you are looking to hold and enjoy for years to come, great time to buy! Or you can wait until the bottom bell rings and come running with everyone else. Lord knows good investing is when "everyone" is doing it.;-)
how would a series 7 change anything?
when was the last time your broker told you it wasn't a good time to invest in stocks / bonds / whatever the security flavor of the day is?

Only the buyer could honestly answer the question, "Is now a great time to buy?" They should know if they can comfortably afford the property; they should know what contingencies they've got in place if the market or their finances turn; they should know if they love the area; they should know if they like the property and location. If they don't know--then "now," or any time, is not a good time to buy.
The buyer should also clearly understand that Realtors have no fiduciary responsibility toward their clients and that with Realtors, as with all commissioned salespeople, "now" is always a great time to buy.
Until RE brokers are required to have Series 7 licenses, "now" will always be a great time buy.

Shelly,
How long have you had your Series 7 license?
