You can't make this stuff up. And yes, I do feel sorry for the few honest, ethical real estate clerks who are losing their careers because of the greed, corruption and lies of their peers.
But come on, a realtor prayer breakfast, to appeal to the supreme architect of the universe for higher home prices and soaring realtor commissions? Do they actually believe God would be in favor of the housing bubble?

"God, please bring back the housing bubble. Please sucker homedebtors into toxic loans. Please put more home flipping shows on TV. Please make all the bad media and blogs go away. Please make people work two or three jobs to afford a home. Please confuse the masses into thinking real estate only goes up. Please allow Lawrence Yun's lies to pass for the truth. Please have congress write more laws to aid their corrupt REIC masters. Please let China suppress our interest rates. Please let an illegal low-wage labor force stream across our border. Please keep federal and state regulators clueless as to our corruption. And please make people think it's a good idea to pay us 6% of the selling price for doing squat"
How about this - instead of appealing for the big commissions to return, how about a prayer for the millions of families losing their homes because of realtor lies and distortion? How about a prayer for the millions of people in the homebuilding industry who'll go unemployed because greedy money-hungry realtors gamed the system for short term gain?
What the realtors don't realize is that if they want the housing bubble and their money flow to return, they're wasting their time appealing to God. The Church of Satan would be a better bet.

And remember, jesus was a carpenter (definitely not a realtor)
Realtors attend worship service to pray for better market
DESTIN — More than 300 people with a keen interest in the Emerald Coast’s real estate market gathered Wednesday at Destiny Worship Center to ask for God’s blessing.
The Real Estate Prayer Luncheon was organized in hopes of breathing life and positive thinking into the area’s slumping housing market.
It was the first of what the organizers — co-owner of Crye Leike Coastal Realty Wanda Duke, former Destin City Councilman Mel Ponder and Destiny Worship Center Pastor Steve Vaggalis — hope will become a regular, uplifting event.
“The heartbeat of today’s economic community is on the backs of the real estate community,” Ponder told the crowd.
“We need to think positively and get everyone on the same page,” Duke said. “Positive things that come out of your mouth will end with positive results. If we lose hope, we lose everything.”
The luncheon ended with Vaggalis inviting all Realtors present to come to the front of the church auditorium for a special prayer directed toward them.
“We are helpless people turning to a helpful God,” Vaggalis said. “That’s what this luncheon is all about.”
