Even Lawyers Make Mistakes
 
Attending a real estate continuing education class, one would expect to receive not only good information but correct information.  Such was my expectation when I attended a required Ethics Update MCE class last week.  A lawyer from a title company taught the class and was delivering the latest updates to our Code of Ethics.  Sitting on the front row I tried to look engaged and thoughtful as I was suppressing a huge yawn.  Then my boredom was snapped to wide eye as the instructor was answering some questions over the material.  Did I hear his response correct? 
The question that was asked had to do with a current situation.  Are we protected on citing a square footage on a property so long as we have a verifiable source?  The student went on to explain that there are three sources that have three different square footage calculations for the property and of course the seller wants to use the largest number.  Without further clarification the instructor answered so long as you have a verifiable source you are protected and that would be just fine to use the one that reflected the largest square footage.  That was that, plain and simple.
