real estate business: Time on the job may not equate to knowledge
- 01/07/14 08:16 PM
There has been quite a bit of controversy lately over proposals by various groups to try to provide agent rating advice based upon various differing criteria, but mostly based upon volume of business. The presumed theory in that is that an agent who handles a large volume of business must be good.
