95% of realtors have maybe a few months of education, none of it related to the economics of the real estate market. So with all do respect to all the agents on this board, please keep your biased opinons PM's only. If someone wants real adivce on real estate, do some research and talk to actual economists with actual degrees/phd's etc who specialize in real estate.
Isn't that a little harsh. . . ?

I see where you might be coming from, but isn't the point of having this thread to "discuss" various views of Calgary real estate? Bull or bear/up or down? And to be fair, a full time realtor should have much more experience with real estate than most people(certainly me.) Perhaps their "inside voice" opinion might be different than their public/published view though.

I'm just a numbers guy and I'll be first to admit that I'm no expert . . . and that full time realtors must have more experience than me.
