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.

It's not nice to generalize.
I have a Commerce Degree and Political Science Degree.
Those specializations required me to take many Finance and Economics courses as well as Statistics.
In fact, I know 2 other very talented people that graduated with me that are Realtors as well.
Are there Realtors out there that aren't honest sometimes? You bet. Just like every other profession out there, be it accountants, lawyers, mortgage brokers, stock brokers etc.
Google is a powerful tool. If you want to find an educated, qualified Realtor, I invite you to do a google search and contact a bunch. I am sure they will take you out for a cup of coffee and you can ask them real estate related questions.
Until then, let the discussion on this thread continue in an amicable manner, and leave the sladering of Realtors out of it.
