[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's nearly impossible to decipher all that paperwork and fees and taxes and everything else you're forced to sign at closing. It's very common for a realtor to push you toward a certain title insurance company, home inspector, etc. and even try to lead you to a specific lender and homeowners insurance company. [b]They may get commissions (kickbacks) from those companies for leading customers to them[/b]. It's all a racket but remember that the homebuyer is the only real source of money in the transaction so they are the ones who get jerked around the most.[/quote]

No, they don't. That's a baldfaced lie.

They will steer clients to people they have experience with to ensure the deal closes without any hiccups.[/quote]

DP here. Realtors DO get kickbacks! Quit trying to cover for your corrupt practices.[/quote]

No they don't, you stupid dumbass. And, I'm not an agent.

Jesus, you stupid people with your rabid imaginations.[/quote]

+ 1.  I was an agent for 10 years on a top team.  The only kickback I got was lunch at Matchbox.  We had fancy dinners from lenders and "classes" from title companies.  No home inspector is giving a kickback.  [/quote]

So, you admit to receiving "kickbacks", just not from home inspectors. And yes, what you describe are kickbacks - favors granted with the expectation of a return, unless you believe there is such thing as a free lunch, free "fancy" dinners, free education... Nothing is free but nobody needs to be reminded of this.

And, bizarrely, you "+1" the statement that people who say agents get kickbacks are "stupid people". Really? Your response amounts to calling yourself stupid. 
 
DP but you seem a bit unhinged when it comes to this.
