A Letter From Real Estate 3.0: AmaZoogleBayMart

Back in the late 2000's, (In those heady days before the formation of AmaZoogleBayMart; by the mergers of Amazon, Zillow, Google, ebay and WalMart) after our data was turned into a commodity; and our leadership was fighting loosing battles with the DOJ, the FTC, the VOWS and Google, Zillow and the other Search Engines; who cold have thought that the whole Real Estate transaction would be converted into a commodity?

By 2015 (From "The Google Playbook 2015"):

• Zillow's software engineers finally figured out an algorithm for the Agent's Special Sauce. "Yesterday Travel! Today Real Estate! Tomorrow McDonald's and Coke!", Richard Barton was quoted as saying about other secret recipes and special sauces.
• Google and YouTube offered Internet Video Tours of every home for sale.
• Pictometry provided Zillow with detailed birds-eye pictures of every house in the USA.
• Amazon provided their patented "One-Click-Checkout" to the home sale process.
• LendingTree, Experian and a leading bio-identity provider made placing a qualified home offer/purchase as easy as touching your computer screen.
• After Congress allowed banks in Real Estate, Wells Fargo bought the rights to ERoboRealtor.com.  Wells Fargo now provides all Internet home sale services to home buyers and sellers for free, if you use Wells Fargo as your mortgage lender.
• Since Agents were still independent contractors, none qualified for unemployment.
• President Hillary Clinton, "The One who gave us health care", and Vice President Obama declared all Real Estate Brokers Offices disaster areas. FEMA arrived just in time to assist with boarding up the offices.
• Former executives at Cendant and HomeStore got out of jail, started Real Estate blogs, and took over leadership positions at the NAR, Move.com and Realtor.com with slogans like "We can still hide our data!", "Who needs the Internet?" and "We're Still Relevant! Aren't We?".
• AmaZoogleBayMart (Theme song to "Chattanooga Choo-Choo") will allow you to sell your home by Internet auction, from the comfort of your media room, over your iPhone, just like you used to do in the old days on ebay. (AmaZoogleBayMart won't you bring me home.")
• All remaining agents (identifiedonly by their license numbers) did benefit from not sharing their commissions with big brokers, having their own robust Websites paid for by keyword relevant ads, and getting free listings by joining the MLZ (Multiple Listing Zillow) and the MLG (Multiple Listing Google) which pushed the listings out to all the other search engines, all over the Internet.
• The new Congress will start antitrust legislation against AmaZoogleBayMart, right after they close on their new homes in Washington, DC.

I guess that to receive the loan from banks you must present a great motivation. But, one time I've received a financial loan, just because I was willing to buy a house.
