Agents Of God

These real estate agents will convert your listing to a sale, but they promise not to attempt to Bible-thump you into Christianity.

Agents who work for the Real Estate Christian Network, operating under the auspices of HisMove.com, say while they strictly adhere to fair housing regulations, they answer to an even higher authority. That means it's not just a legal matter, but also an act of faith when they offer services not just to Christians, but to anyone -- heathens included.

Just as there are real estate services operated by Muslims so their faithful can choose to adhere to Islamic financial principles, Bart Smith, CEO and founder says his agents and associated appraisers, property mangers and other real estate professionals of the Christian persuasion are available for those who may not want to join the flock, but who could use the power of prayer during negotiations.

In today's booming real estate market, while sellers may be blessed, buyers need all the help they can get.

Amen.
