Not the first time we’ve written about this, and sadly, not the last. But Realtors are turning to Twitter as a way to advertise. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t think of anything more exciting than receiving “tweets” from a real estate agent. “I just listed a home.” “I just came up with a new word for ‘upgraded.” “I just sold an old home for far more than it’s worth to people who can’t afford it, yet I’m getting a lot of money in commission and mortgage kick-back.” Ahhh, yes… Twitter and agents.

You knew this day would come. Or maybe you had a feeling this day would come. At any rate, it’s here. Those appraisers, who used to do whatever realtors told them to do, are now actually abiding by a code of ethics and accurately stating the true value of a home. So what does that mean? You guessed. Those money grubbing realtors — who will do anything to get a sale and commission — are now learning that their inflated value of self and house are, well, inflated.

Look! A Realtor is facing foreclosure himself. He says he’s playing hard ball, but Wells Fargo says it’s not interested in games, just collection on its $655,125. Seems Denny Grimes needs a little help — or guidance on how to deal with banks. And we thought Realtor’s knew EVERYTHING about real estate! Silly us! Read the story after the jump.
