Tighter Licensing Requirements for Real Estate Agents?

I'm not sure that tighter licensing would actually do any good.  Most of the fraud that occurs...and problems that arise are not from lack of knowledge - but from someone chasing dollars.  No amount of training will cure that. 

I agree with Bo!  It isn't the lack of training that brought the housing market to the place it is.  It was the greed factor, and willingness by some, to look the other way rather than drawing a line in the sand on unethical transactions. 

Roberta, I must go over and read your article at Home Gain blog. Sounds like there are more idiots out there pretending they are real estate professionals...loosely written term.
