Is so tempting to give legal advice. I don't know why but it is so very tempting to show our knowledge (or ignorance) of the law. Perhaps it is all those years of Court TV, or maybe those two courses in business law that we had to take to graduate, or maybe Judge Judy re-runs. I really don't know what makes us attempt to give legal advice, but I know that as realtors it is both illegal and unethical. It is so easy to make a mistake just doing our job, without trying to be an attorney too. Be careful out there. We live and work in a very litigious society (that means prone to lawsuits for those that flipped the channel when Judge Judy came on). Be careful in doing your job as a realtor and remember to be good at what you know how to do...avoiding conflicts and litigation.
