In a business where many of the players answer only to their own greed, the idea of real estate professionals who wear their morality on their sleeves is oddly appealing -- even for a bleeding-heart heathen like me. So it was with a perplexed sense of envy that I discovered the Web site of the Christian Real Estate Network, which offers home buyers and sellers the opportunity to find Christian real estate agents around the country, as well as the chance for such professionals to refer their clients to other "Bible believing" professionals.
Its agents, the Web site asserts, have "the integrity and moral standards" necessary to "take you through the process ... with your interests at heart." (They even pray with you.) "Each agent is accountable to God first ...," the hard sell concludes. "This is why we believe that working with a Christian Real Estate Agent is far superior than working with any other agent."
Good for a Friday laugh.
