ethics: You Want a Guarantee of Profit From Your REALTOR®? - 04/05/08 11:59 PM
I have been asked many times what kind of appreciation in value a buyer should expect from the purchase of a property? I have also heard other agents asked that question. I have been quite shocked and amazed how many times an agent was willing to stick their neck out and predict … (22 comments)
ethics: Being a REALTOR® Requires Biting Your Lip a Lot - 03/02/08 09:00 PM
How many times did you want to say what was on your mind but decided to bite you lip. Mine was raw this week. When trying to show property, I am getting more and more agents who are not returning phone calls. I have my theories why that is, but … (35 comments)
ethics: REALTORS® Want the Love - 12/04/07 06:03 PM
So many times I see other agents getting themselves in situations they should never have gotten themselves into. Many are just not professional, but there is another group: Those who need to be loved.

ethics: Bringing Out the Worst in Some - 11/04/07 10:22 PM

Since writing the blog post yesterday where I referenced three agents who I have had bad experiences with in the last few weeks one of transactions is now at the next level. One of the things I dread about dealing with a bad agent is not just the problems they create while … (6 comments)
ethics: You be the Judge - 06/05/07 06:11 PM
I received this e-mail last week and have been giving this some thought. I was not sure if I should post this or not. I think I will throw it out to the group. I blocked out the commission percentage, because I do not feel comfortable discussing percentages and actual fee … (32 comments)
ethics: Present All Offers Immediately – Part 2 - 05/28/07 04:51 PM
I just posted a blog post: Present All Offers Immediately Many agents do not seem to get the importance of this. It is required by law here in Hawaii. In the previous post I wrote about what happened when I bought the home we live in. Since re-entering the industry I have had … (34 comments)
ethics: There are No Short Cuts to Becoming a Real Estate Professional - 05/20/07 01:24 PM
I have run into many inexperienced people in our industry from all facets of the business. I see a common problem in an overwhelming percentage of them. Very few are prepared to do what it takes to learn their craft.
