could be in the speechless thread ... ::)
The whole article can be in the speechless thread. Agents don't drive demand, demand drives demand! If supply exceeded demand then the best agents in the world couldn't get people to overpay.

In Crown Heights there was an attempt starting in the late 80s to control the demand by creating רשימת הבתים. I remember many details about it, and actually used it when I bought my house (ended up paying $16,000 over my original offer in 1997 due to someone deciding to ignore the list and offering over my original offer. I was lucky that he tried to flip it to a friend of mine who knew that I was trying to buy that house, so I knew who to call to Beis Din. He backed off as soon as he was called but the damage was done).

Back in the day I had notes regarding the establishment, running, and suggestions for improvement, but I don't think I've kept any of them.

It was abolished later on when demand was growing from non-Jewish buyers as well.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I have a friend thats looking to buy a house in ch and a "jewish" real estate agent told the goy to pick up the price on the house bc the relatives have money, she does that all the time getting the goyim to pick the price up on yiddin. everybody in ch knows who that agent is

In Linden nj by the chassidim, if you want to buy a house and move in you must use the community real estate agent so nobody is bidding each other out, if you don't than they don't let you into the moisdos

That can only be done in a small uniform community.

No. But when one has no choice of schools, shuls, mikvaos, etc. It makes it possible to enforce community rules (though it might not withstand a legal test).

There are many crooked agents out there, I know of a few sales that a different broker came minute ninety nine before signing and told the seller to hold off the sale because he can get it for much more if he holds on for a few months and that's not the norm of course there is a demand but there's also an agenda to drive it up to make more commission

And she has done worse than this:

She has crossed so many lines it's high time we got together and stopped using her and have all community sites and classifieds stop advertising her properties.
