David Saks I enjoy reading these posts from you and unfortunately, I fear the public interprets these incidents a further evidence that ALL real estate agents are corrupt, when most of these crime are perpetrated by non-agents. Thanks!

I post the press releases for the benefit of the community at large, Sandy Padula & Norm Padula, JD, GRI Real estate agents are no more corrupt than surgeons who commit Medicare fraud, or insurance agents, or politicians who accept bribes, and there have been thousands of all of them in courts for their crimes over the last decade.

Business will always have it's perils and the impropriety of the unscrupulous will always cast a shadow of suspicion upon those who engage in commerce for profit.
