The Bloodhound quoted in Business Week

December 15, 2006

Business Week has an article entitled, “Home Buyer Beware” that quotes our very own Bloodhound, Greg Swann!  The gist of the article is a point that Greg has hammered on a couple of times:  unusually large buyer agent commissions — sometimes offered by overextended home builders trying to offload some excess inventory — tempt buyer agents to steer their clients towards a property that may not be the best for them…and are not required, in most states, to reveal this excess commission to their clients!

Greg is arguably the most passionate — and inarguably the most eloquent — of the real estate blog world, so it’s only fitting that he would be quoted in a major publication.

Congratulations, Greg!
