Nigel Swaby's Golden Shower



Our boy Nigel has seemingly moved on to yellow-greener pastures. It seems he's now working with the fine folks over at Gold Medallion Homes. What the fuck is up with the level of marketing prowess in Utah. Integrity First, Gold Medallion... is there a chapter on cheap cliches in the Mormon bible or something?

Why, at this point, someone would want the "publicity baggage" that Nigel brings with him is beyond me. Karma will prove out that not all publicity is good publicity. Good luck Gold Medallion Homes, enjoy the benefits of someone who's judgement leaves him moments away from going into business with Casey Serin. I'm sure none of your potential customers will find that, even though you're just as much in the free-blogosphere as Nigel. Phew, that's some list of blogs.

Albert Einstein, the great mathematician, had some good advice for today’s home buyers
Yes, that Albert Einstein was one GREAT mathmatician wasn't he. Boy, what he did with fractions and integers was something else. Long division will never be the same.
With expanding populations, land is becoming scarce.
Uh oh, someone else apparently graduated from the Nigel Swaby of Paraphrasing NAR Mantra. Oh snap, they have a company song:
However, since we depend on many different trades, suppliers, and inspectors, and build out in the elements, there are things beyond our control that may affect these dates; for example: labor and material shortages, back-ordered components, city inspection backlogs, and inclement weather.

In the event of a delay, we will notify you as soon as we become informed.

This isn't a tired motto, or a half-hearted attempt. It's more than a mission statement, more than a goal. This is our song.
Wow, catchy compelling stuff. Good luck with the joy that Nigel's endless quest for attention and an online reputation brings you.

Heh, that's a catchy tune. Who says Realtors can't rock?

Don't miss Nigeypoo's latest treatise "Can You Ever Own a Home?" at SLCREck. The answer of course is yes, but it takes him 391 words (FARML Verbosometer) to win an argumnet against figurative "bubble bloggers" to come to this conclusion. Along the way, he demonstrates his complete lack of understanding of the concept of equity.

Flail,

So you won't admit that your shoes DON'T appreciate, but your house might squeak out inflation.

You fool.

houses consistently increase in value
Yes Nigel. Of course they do Nigel. Negative equity is just a theoretical concept.
Forget about this argument one can't own a home because the lender actually does. The lender can't sell the home
So you don't do interest only mortgages then? Never heard of them and yet you're a mortgage broker. Strange? Oh, you might want to check with your mate Casey about lenders not being able to sell homes.

Wow, Nigel's latest post is just...so informative. Let me find a lil' used comment that few make in the Housing Bubblesphere and try to pump it up to be the main point that those nasty bears are up in arms about.

What i'm trying to say here is that mostly clothese don't appreciate and algae causes the sun.

Did anyone else notice that poor Nigel took inbound links off the slc site? i guess he didn't like the publicity we're giving him.

YOu forgot to mention in the song that Gold Medallion sets up a closing at mid way then breaks the date a couple dozen times. Next thing you know your date has pushed from July to September and you are living on the streets..Has you fly in from out of state and never gets the house ready. Then they try to force you to close on a home that doesn't have a gas meter or a driveway... Then you never see a gold medallion person again to fix the 40 items list that you wrote at walk through, as they shove your closing down your throat and threaten to cancel you...then your basement floods...then...check the better business bureau. Put that in the song...
