<<Real Estate investors building $100K homes with crack houses and boarded up homes on the same street.>> I can believe it. When my earlier post mentioned the builder's sign that has been spray-painted with graffiti, I didn't mention that a certain internet-based real estate company (mentioned on this thread many times by others) has had a sign in the same yard for months, as a rep for the builder. This low-cost internet company has sometimes been mentioned as being a possible key to the future of real estate brokerage. So far, the internet broker's sign has been spared from the graffiti that appears on the builder's sign, but I wonder why the brokerage hasn't either cleared up the builder's sign graffiti or removed its own sign? This doesn't look good for either the builder or the brokerage firm. The self-respecting firm I used to work for has TWICE removed its signs from the unfortunate ersatz mansion under construction next door to my father's house. Some builders aren't worth representing. <<gg>>
