Builders offer Buyer agents Incentives ... Again

Recently, by email, Lennar announced to me and other Las Vegas Realtors, $2500 Agent Bonus - for August Closings - 3.25% Interest Rate Available; Woodside advertised $12,500 commissions at Providence; Pardee Homes offered a $1,000 Design Studio credit to pass along to any client who purchases a Move-In Ready home at Riverstone; Pulte Homes - Fall-Out Inventory - 7% CO-OP; and Woodside had 4 Percent Co-Op on Homes Starting at $139,990. The last time the builders did this, it was out of desperation. Watch your back. Stay Alert.

Copyright Infringement as a source of funds

Publishers of print media, in particular, and every other kind, in general, have begun surfing blogs to look for possible copyright infringement lawsuits. This has been emailed as a warning to all Realtors from our Board of Realtors, since we are such easy targets. I have looked over my 2010 blog posts and decided that they are OK, inflammatory sometimes, but not a violation of any copyright. The previous 100 posts going back to the wild wild west of 2007, I deleted. There were too many to comb through and there is no need to give ammunition to fishermen.
Happy 2010.
