I have an interesting story; I moved QTH from the suburbs to one in the
mountains. While building the new location, I kept the original house but
ham radio fell silent due to all the work I was doing in the new place. A
real estate agent representing potential buyers for a house behind us was
concerned about my roof top yagi which I had left there. They looked into
radiation issues and exposure to their young kids and were concerned. They
asked me to take it down. It was not high on my priority so at first I said
no. Then they offered me $5K to take it down on their closing of the house.
At that point I said okay and spent an hour taking it down. Of course the
$5k went back into ham radio.

After that "comment" I feel the need
to chime in.
I must be lucky, the last three houses
I bought (2 in MA, 1 in AZ), could not
have been better. The Realtors were
quite truthful and helpful in each
transaction.
But then, perhaps the Laws and Realtor
Associations may be more ethical in
those two states.

## He is correct. Real estate agents are typ 3 steps below scum bags.
They are not
truthful about anything. Thats based on buying and selling 3 homes and
one condo...and
hearing the horror stories from friends and work place cohorts. A local
ham has a 150
ft rotating tower on his aprx .7 acre city lot. There used to be 5-8
acres of empty fields
behind him for 25 years. The acerage gets developed into a ton of very
expensive
new homes and several new streets. When prospective clients looked at
any of the
homes in the brand new subdivision, they were ALL told by EVERY real
estate
agent here in town, and we have 1450 of em.... that tower mess ? Oh,
dont worry
about that, its all coming down in a few months. Well its still up and
running 20 years later.
By daughter got screwed over twice by real estate agents. I know
several real estate agents
personally, and a few owners of real estate business,s. They all have the
same attitude. Lie
through your teeth, and collect the commission.
