Somehow I don't think I am "his kind of people"...(and happy about that!) ...yes he has called it a poor choice of words...methinks it is more like a poor choice of thoughts.

Brian there are plenty of designation holders that get the designation purely because they want the letters behind their name, not because they want to improve on their business knowledge or skills. This guy is proof of that. Brian said: “I can’t believe this guy has a CMPS designation and doesn’t know better.”

Has Mr. FSBO posted his "How do I get the right people to move to my neighborhood?" Question to Trulia Answers yet? Just the kind of Fair Housing question that I see on Trulia. Of course!-New Jersey-To earn your ten grand do you bring in the Sopranos or try to keep them away? Is ten grand an offer they can't refuse? Was Vito Corleone seen looking at the house? Maybe this is just a "family" dispute. Where to we hold the sit down? Don't let Michael near the rest room. Truliatitis.

I agree, Bill. Why should the two jobs be different? Conflict of interest?

I love the phrase "choose your neighbor" because it suggests bringing a friend or relative in. In NJ, (where I grew up), it's not uncommon to have siblings, parents, and cousins living within a 2 minute walk of each other (mansions or rowhomes). The rest is a REALLY poor choice of words.

I'm happy to provide further information to anyone who would like it. I still have the original postcard, including the front side that I've not yet posted- it's simply more of the same. Based upon the discussion here I've filed a Federal Fair Housing Discrimination Complaint. Although I'm not sure if that's the best way to go, it is a multi-state issue with Mr. Lefkowitz in NY and the property in NJ. If anyone here has further suggestions on how I should proceed please let me know either here or on my blog at www.1GoodReason.com Thanks, Chris Benn,

Based on everything I could read on Mr. Lefkowitz he seems to be a professional who may have made an inexcusable error.

I'm simply suggesting that the appeal to bigotry may have been part of a larger con. It sometimes seems like those within the industry are slow to question the listing price. I get flyers promising bonuses to the selling agent for bringing in a full price offer. Seems like someone is getting scammed on those deals, too, but they don't draw much attention.
