Here is an example of "straight talk."

Tell it like it is.
"..You may wonder why are prices are so low. The reason is simple, there is a glut of new condos on the market..."
Why can't we get that out of the "professionals?"

"As I stated earlier I have no need to pull any "work" for you. You come off as a complete moron on this site and I do not work for morons."you are going to need leather gloves
Name-calling by real estate agents seems to be common-place
in the panhandle.
" I am not going to look at 690 sales one by one for someone that is going to dissect each sale and accuse me of deceit"
For about the 3rd time, I only asked for info on the one property that
you injected into the conversation. When you refused to futher
elaborate on that one property then what is one to think?
Regardless, you go on your way and I'll go mine. I will not
be responding to your posts further.

I'm wading in here (it's getting deep!) to add my .02.
I have known Bobby J for a good while now (about 7 years) and we have bought a few pieces of property from him and I can tell you first hand there was NEVER any high pressure sales tactics or deceit going on. We discussed the market at length on many occasions and we all agreed the market was absolutely crazy and out of control, so we stopped buying. FFF and I have been investing in real estate for a very long time. When the market no long made sense.....we stopped buying property in early '04. I have also trusted him enough to refer good friends to him, a couple of them bought from him just this year.
I can also say I came across (in my work) a couple of absolute shysters in the business, recognized them and would not work with them. I think common sense goes a long way. Use it.

Bobby did not respond because you get your jollies ambushing people and trying to ruin those who feed their families selling a piece of SoWal. It's a great profession, it's not a personality defect. You've been months on this board slinging trash talk like Pollock doing a self portrait. All points of view make for interesting give and take, but you guys need to lighten up a hair. These folks that you make fun off could help you find a piece of this beautiful community. Ask yourself if you would want a neighbor like the guy in the mirror. Build some bridges and take advantage of a buyers market, because these folks can land you a deal. You get back what you put out.

"...You've been months on this board slinging trash talk like Pollock doing a self portrait...."
That is incorrect.
Check my prior posts.
I have been watching this board for over (2) years reading
the glowing reports of real estate sales and did not
get ornery until Bobby J posted an MLS number with
a 2004 sales price of one number and a 2006 sales price
of a number about (3) times higher. No info. Don't know
if it was vacant land or a condo or what-ever.
Don't know if these are arms-length sales or related party
transactions. Don't know if it was a vacant lot in 2004
and had a half-million dollar house on it in 2006.
Requested further details and never got them.
Requested further details again and got accused of being
"argumentative."
THAT'S when I got orney.
The posts are there. Read them.
There are a lot of people here doing a lot of
assuming.
That is incorrect.

"...You've been months on this board slinging trash talk like Pollock doing a self portrait...."you are splitting hairs because, in the big picture, you and Sir Shelly have been having a cacklefest at the expense of Realtors, and developers. What does that accomplish? Why not network, and get more info about potential opportunities? It's much more productive than dissecting posts and trying to embarrass the very people who can help you find a deal. Is this backward thinking?

First a little lesson. "Sir Shelly" has been 'outed' as a woman. (Although I had envisioned a elder aged, corpulant Jewish fellow, myself.)
I agree with Bob. What can be learned and how do we now profit from it? BTW, profit can be financial or life skills.
SoWal Insider
that's a great word "corpulant". Sounds like it looks! I wish my 401k was corpulant.
Beach Fanatic
Corpulent...not nitpicking..just in case you go use it somewhere else. I am not alone in seeing the difference between what Shelly posts and what Capricious is posting am I? Also could Trying2makeabuc point out the post in which Shelly was "outed"?

I met my future wife during happy hour at a Ruby Tuesdays in 1983. The first or second thing she said after I bought her a drink was the statement that she was an English teacher at a middle school. I believe it was right after the question about the amount of beer I may have consumed. I've been torturing her with my spelling and misuse of words since. My list of spelling transgressions is c-o-r-p-u-l-e-n-t. Check that, I've got Apocalypto on pause on the DVD player and heads are rolling.

I really did mean corpulant. That is someone who is acting like a corpul (that's higher than a private, lower than a sgt.)
SoWal Expert
Wouldn't that be corporalant?

How about "lance corpulant"? My ex-Marine officer husband would love that one.
