That leads me to believe it could be him, or perhaps Joseph Babajian & Kyle Grasso. Police records regarding who's been apprehended and for what becomes a matter of instant public record, so I'm pretty sure it's not anyone we don't already know about. I'm thinking the suprise will be in who one or all of these men implicate.<BR/><BR/>'someone'.. well said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-89147150387421906902007-08-16T02:10:00.000-07:002007-08-16T02:10:00.000-07:00Before I begin...I just want to say that I am NOT ...Before I begin...I just want to say that I am NOT a realtor/real estate agent/real estate sales consultant/etc. I am an accountant.<BR/><BR/>It surprises me that certain people are so quick to jump on the bandwagon and begin stereotyping realtors and those in the profession because of some recent occurance that involved a few stupid, greedy individuals. I agree that stupid greedy people get what they deserve--but I don't agree that just because they belong to a certain profession they're all substance abuse addicts, ex-hookers, liars, etc. I mean isn't that the same as stereotyping and grouping a particular race/religion because of a few bad apples? <BR/><BR/>Maybe some of you haven't dealt with respectable ones with knowledge and integrity, but I have (and yes, on the Westside).

The bar is low and needs to higher but in reality the whole industry is not really needed. Yes, an agent can get you more $$ for a sale but if there was a systematic for selling, none of if would be needed. Title and escrow companies need more regulation and oversight. The “you scratch my back and I'll scratch your’s” mentality is rampant. I love real estate but the field is field with people whose main concerns are making that next deal, getting that next listing, and not really knowing the job well enough, especially on the Westside. I often find myself not telling people I am an agent when I am out. I might lose a few new clients but sometimes it is just easier.
