To Mr. Ed Tse and all others: just read your post and could not agree more. People are either inherently ignorant of what "trading" means, or think potential trade partners are stupid. `I joined this sight on the possibility of connecting with people who do understand what is meant by equity, value, price, mutual interest, debt, risk assumption, etc. but so far it is disappointing. But, let's continue to try.

I have been with other real estate exchange for 4+ years. But, it is totally a waste to me. Why?
1) I believe, a trade has to be on realistic or reasonable basis. A lot of people contacted me wanting to trade their stuff with me, I have never had a successful trade. Their trade prices are way out of line (NOTE: I just get in here a few hours ago, I browse two states. I found someone doing that inflated price are here too.)
For example, one Florida owner proposed a trade to me. He wants "$150,000 for his boat-access land. The problem is there is a similar land right next to his is listed for $39,000. The worst is he listed his property on MLS for $59,000. How can he want to trade almost 3 times than his listing price for the same property? That's a phony and intentional fake trade. Still, a lot of Californian owners want to use the peak price in 2006 for trade. Say I had a trade proposal from California Vally. He wanted $80,000 for his vacant land. After checking with local realtor, its value is roughly $5,000-15,000. I don't see any point to waste my time to keep myself in that website. Could anyone tell me: did I miss something or did it wrong, even I know "trade or barter price" is normally higher than "cash deal" ?
2) A trade is an exchange of equity. However, a lot of property owners don't understand this or try to play dumb.
For example, a Californian owner proposes to trade his Oceanside $1 million property with $800, 000 mortgage for my free and clear $350,000 property. I asked him how we are going to balance our equity, i.e.how he plans to pay me $150,000 in cash, paper, or something else if I assume his property still worth $1 mil. Do you know how he react to my question? He pissed off by saying: " I give you my $1 mil property for your cheap $350,000. You take advantage of me already. How could you dare to ask me to pay you money?"
Well, what can I say? Maybe he is trying to find a fool after him, a fool having a negative equity in his McMansion.

I hope I can meet reasonable people and do some sensible swap here and all the parties involved with me are happy, feeling as a winner out of the trade as all my customers.

I am new in this forum and I like to share my opinion that posting property for trade is not enough, we need to have enforcement that make it work
