Why Yes, Refer Me … Anything that Allows You To Cash a Check for Doing Nothing
Posted on July 7th, 2008 by Jonathan Dalton
You can’t even make some of this stuff up.
Someone asked on Trulia Voices whether they’re better off purchasing a detached home or a townhouse here in the Phoenix real estate market, whether the townhouse “is less of an investment” than a single-family detached home.
Here’s an extremely helpful answer from an agent in Virginia …
your local real estate agent can advise you. do you have one? do you need a referral?
And you wonder why people don’t trust real estate agents. “I don’t have a real answer for you but can refer you to someone who can. Of course, I’ll make them pay me a portion of their commission for doing nothing more than making it clear that I’m a bottom feeder.”
Dignity, people. That’s all I’m saying.

All I could think of after post was the Dire Straits’ tune
“Money for Nothing”
This is why my referral fee is karma, and why I try not to leave dumba*s comments.
Not a bad tune, Larry …
Him … I’ve asked for more than karma and paid more than karma, but only when earned in some fashion. Trolling for referrals on Trulia Voices hardly qualifies.
