Dumpling... there are some shady realtors out there that didn't care for helping anyone, except lining their own pockets.

Some realtors held monthly banquet meetings for "monied" investors who can get houses on the cheap, by having realtors showing the monthly Sheriff sales of homes that the realtor can bid on for their deep pocketed friends to buy... and giving the realtor a "kickback" on the price.

This is how Fox opinion host Sean Hannity purchased 819 distressed homes, back many years ago. Sorry to thread jack... I should probably start another thread on this subject.
