Whilst scanning the REMARKS in listings of homes that entered the market over the past 24 hours this morning, I found a stunning threat pointed at agents who might show the home.
The REMARKS field in a home listings gives the listing agents six LONG (6) lines in which we may BRAG about the house with compelling comments that are supposed to give agents and buyers motivation to drop what they're doing, and run see the house.
The REMARKS field in a listing is where the listing agent may tell all the good stuff about the house.
Who in their right mind would use the REMARKS section to chase you and me away?
Fannie Mae.
Here are the REMARKS that Fannie Mae required the listing agent to insert in the listing of a Fannie-owned property for sale:
"Entry into home is unauthorized by Seller without signed disclosure & release form. Entering home w/o signed form is trespassing. Contact listing agent for form."
Are you clowns really threatening to prosecute agents for trespassing if they don't sign a government form prior to showing the house???
Well Fannie, I shall not show that house to anyone.
Moreover, it's highly likely that my colleagues might pass that house by.
I'll be shocked if that house gets ANY SHOWINGS WHATSOEVER!
There are plenty of other homes for sale that are easy to show, with sellers and agents who make it as easy as possible for me to show their home.
In all my 20+ years helping folks sell and buy homes, I've seen awesome remarks, and I've seen stupid remarks with spelling errors and bad grammar.
Just when I thought I'd seen every sort of stupid stuff in listings, along comes another one that is among the most stupid ever known to mankind.
Another fine example of stupid stuff that happens when government bureaucrats stick their noses into the private business sector.
Government involvement in the private sector has failed every time it's been tried.
Hey Fannie, you do your thing, and let your listing agents sell your houses for you!

Equal Housing Opportunity
President Lyndon Johnson lead a vigorous campaign through the halls of Congress that lead to Fair Housing legislation. The Republican Party members in Congress backed Fair Housing, while most of the congressional Democrat Party members opposed Fair Housing. Johnson, a Democrat, worked the phones day and night, calling congressional Democrats, calling in favors that persuaded enough Democrats to cross party lines and vote for Fair Housing, and against their party leaders.
