I was quite shocked to read in the paper about a local Broker  that has been convicted of a felony DWI. (third Offense).

My understanding of License Law in NYS is that a felony conviction cancels your Broker/Agent license. I wonder what would happen to the agents in that office. What happens to the deals in progress?? Would an associate broker be able to step in temporarily?

I feel sorry for the broker. Alcoholism is such an awful disease and until the Alcoholic decides to change nothing or no one can help. Unfortunately, the disease effects everyone connected in any way to the Alcoholic.

Sometime I see Broker lunches serving wine(big mistake) and a potential liability that you wouldn't need. Homeowners should not allow wine to be served. They are liable also. Just not worth the risk!

DRINKING & DRIVING DO NOT MIX!!!
