anthem arizona: How can we expect the public to respect us when we don't respect ourselves? - 05/01/08 05:05 PM
One thing I've noticed in my short career in the real estate business is a lack of respect within our own industry. Now don't get me wrong. Most of the fellow agents I deal with are courteous and respectful. However, just like in any industry, a few bad apples spoil the bunch. In the … (6 comments)
