'Smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall'

Re: 'Realtors not immune to foreclosure' (Sept. 4)

Dear Editor:

Most Realtors were smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall. Some were not ... some were "fast-track" agents who paid their money to their companies and boards and jumped on the train to financial success without looking at reality starting to take a bite from the rear. The real estate problem started in 1997, was bumped again in 2003, and finally reared its head in 2006.

By 2007 the media was in full swing, doing what they do best: trash anything they can for fun and their own headlines and news. Absolutely NOT ONE of my friends in the real estate business has had or is having a problem with their ... properties or their mortgage loans or, for that matter, their ability to keep their heads above water while we wait for 2010. Many of us survived Jimmy Carter; hopefully some of us will survive (Barack) Obama.
