I was reading that blog off and on during the day, and was cracking up with the reader who was outing Jason. That was pretty entertaining, and funny!

I read the blog off and on during the day also but do you think it was wise to pick on him for no reason. Pretty lame guys.

It looked as though he was attempting to work a hustle for himself. The house that he was trying to sell was his. The appraisal that he touted in his advertising was inflated and made by his girlfriend. Both of them had the same mailing address, which was the address of the house for sale. His profile was written as though he were the poster child for ethics in Real Estate. It didn't surprise me because there are a lot of flaky people in Real Estate sales. Those people seem to gravitate to that industry. He paid too much for the house and was trying to unload it without losing his shirt on the deal. P.T. Barnham said that a sucker was born every minute. He was just fishing for one...................... posted by

I Noticed that he said he was experienced and had been an agent for 4 years. Does that time ring a bell with anyone? You know, about the time that everybody and their cousin jumped into selling real estate? The more seasoned ones aren't the ones who got stuck with overpriced houses. That's another good reason to use a seasoned real estate agent when buying or selling. Especially during a boom for petes sake. Speaking of Pete's sake...anyone seen Progressive Pete lately? He's been scarce since a couple of new ones started.. making one wonder if he's lurking and posting under another name. Pete...Pete...where are you? posted by

Tonyh- You are correct. He has been trying to mislead people in his craigslist postings. He is looking for a greater fool to replace him now that the music has stopped and he has no chair. I would have forwarded his posts to the DRE or the NAR but they could care less.

Thanks for outing this guy. Maybe enough people were lurking, that word of mouth will get around. It just might have kept a person or two from being sucked in by him. posted by

I left a comment on one of his posts but he removed the entire topic saying he accidentally deleted it. I've deleted stuff on this blogosphere, and when you do it is never an accident with all the warning questions that pop up. Not an honest response.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Deleting a Post is a pretty deliberate thing, with all of the checks and rechecks.

Jason (Real Estate Guy), Even posting as Anonymous ( we can all see where you ligged on) and copying and pasting, don't you think everyone knows what you were up to? I know that Fresno/Clovis is in the tank too, so maybe you should get into selling something else, other than Real Estate. You've sort-of blown your market around here by being too public with your dishonesty. School of Hard Knocks: Lesson 3:.............Cut your losses quickly and don't beat the dead horse. Don't prepare to Sacrifice the Queen in an unsure game. posted by

Bakersfield Bubble; I never mislead anybody ever. when my business partner and I first purchased that home there was equity in it, I do have an appraisal that supports $550K and yes I agree that it is not worth that now but still does have instant equity in it as this is the figure from a lender that appraised it 2 weeks ago for 490K, I call it instant equity since I have the house for sale at 450K and if its worth 490K then somebody that purchases the house will have 40K instant equity. as I mentioned before it is an investment property and since it is vacant it is becoming a burden, I am very motivated to get this house sold and realize and may not even sell it for the 450K that I am asking but I have to try. thanks for your concern in these matters, I can assure you I am probably one of the most straight shooters you will ever meet and again I would very much appreciate the cease of any future negative posting.

In your last CL posting you said the home was worth $550k, this was a few weeks ago. You knew then it was not worth didn't you? You claimed "$75k of Instant Equity". That is exactly what the post said. Do whatever you want. The DRE and CAR don't follow up with this stuff. Only a few bloggers out there actually care about how the real estate industry tries to spin and mislead others into thinking its always a great time to buy. I am going to listen to the Stan and Susan Ferguson show at 10:00am on 1410 and I can guarantee they will say "its a great time to buy". They say that in every single show. They have said it for years. Yet, people listen and take this is real investment advice. Its not! They are salespeople! This industry needs some serious regulation and more importantly some serious enforcement. This is the biggest financial decision in most peoples lives and they are not getting the truth from all of these salespeople who claim to have their best interest. There are 100-140 NOD's a week in this County. Clearly many people got in over their heads by listening to bad advice. Are they to blame as well, absolutely.

In response: In your last CL posting you said the home was worth $550k, this was a few weeks ago. You knew then it was not worth didn't you? You claimed "$75k of Instant Equity". That is exactly what the post said. - if thats what the posting said then it was posted in error, as of approx 3 weeks ago is when I found out that the house was newly valued at 490K, here is the link for the CL postings dating back to march 2 http://bakersfield.craigsli... with my new price of 459K, and there is no mention of any instant equity even though there still is. Do whatever you want. The DRE and CAR don't follow up with this stuff. Only a few bloggers out there actually care about how the real estate industry tries to spin and mislead others into thinking its always a great time to buy. I am going to listen to the Stan and Susan Ferguson show at 10:00am on 1410 and I can guarantee they will say "its a great time to buy". They say that in every single show. They have said it for years. Yet, people listen and take this is real investment advice. Its not! They are salespeople! - I agree there is alot of misleading people out there and as far as the DRE and CAR, your right I have made complaints to them for some commission disputes and they dont do anything but thats not the point I want to make. I just want you and everyone else to realize that I am not misleading in my postings, I take my career and busines very seriously and yes I do make a few extra dollars investing in real estate but have never screwed or mislead anyone. This industry needs some serious regulation and more importantly some serious enforcement. This is the biggest financial decision in most peoples lives and they are not getting the truth from all of these salespeople who claim to have their best interest. There are 100-140 NOD's a week in this County. Clearly many people got in over their heads by listening to bad advice. Are they to blame as well, absolutely. - I totally agree but Realtors must also be held to a higher standard, that is why i get my clients underwritten approved and fully disclose everything before taking my clients to look at homes. it's alot easier to explain things up front not to mention if the client gets sticker shock you have not wasted anyones time :-) Jason
