Ummels Talk – You Decide
February 2, 2008 by REALonomics · 5 Comments
This is a follow-up to our post “Ummel VS ReMax” on January 25, 2008. REALonomics analyzed this interview, not to determine the accuracy of the claim but rather, to get inside Ms. Ummel’s head and ascertain the mentality behind the suit from a consumer’s standpoint. Admittedly, getting inside someone’s cranium is an illusive art form, but in this case we are simply looking for attitude, motive, emotional state and other factors that may serve as a consumer’s motive for such an action.
We are trailblazers…we want to change the industry. We feel we were misled…we do feel angry…we hired our agent because he was a real estate professional, he was expected to do the due diligence…and they (agents) have a code of ethics where they must put the buyer’s first…I think he just wanted to go ahead with the sale and make his commission…he was not concerned about our best interests. We feel that the appraisal was manipulated…we feel that the agent had something to do with that…

Our Long National Joy Ride is Over
April 16, 2007 by REALonomics · 3 Comments
Has the national roller coaster joy ride come to an end? REALonomics believes it started dying in January, 2005, plus or minus a few months and that we will enter a 2-3 year recovery cycle that will challenge the profitability of many real estate brokerage firms. The return to “normal” will also introduce new business models into the national equation. Take this fascinating ride and enjoy the drama. This roller coaster ride is actually based upon U.S. home prices adjusted for inflation and then plotted as a roller coaster ride:
