I know....real estate has it's moments and it has it's moments. Each person who maintains the goal of operating within the COEs (Code of Ethics) is raising the bar for the Industry. To take it one step further, when you take steps to ensure that all Realtors and Real Estate Agents are held accountable, you make a contribution to "raising the bar" for our Industry.
When that REO agent lists a property that is not secured properly or has conditions that are dangerous to viewing and not disclosed and you take that time and action to report it to the board....you are making a difference. When the Short Sale Agent misleads you and your Buyer and you document and report it, you are helping our Industry change. It is time consuming to outline and identify the COEs that are broken and to file a complaint, however if we do not hold agents accountable then we are not improving the Real Estate Industry and protecting the Consumer. It IS our responsibility to do so.

Hi Jeanean;
I agree that Realtors and Real Estate Agents should be held accountable for their actions, we do need to keep raising the bar for our Industry. Great Post!
I am with you on this 100 percent. Last week I had an agent good enough to tell me the floor on this REO property was not stable. This kind of stuff is important and I was very thankful

Long time no comments ....sorry.
Anyway ....I feel as the economy worsens ,you will invariably see more and more COE violations in our profession and others . An unfortunate circumstance for agents and the public.
