One of the things we first learn in this real estate business is the part about ethics/morals, etc. My question is - how long does it take for us to forget this important part of our business. Personally, I have encountered several instances recently of unethical, greedy, hateful behavior, all about money....Only the money, the commission, the closing, the sale. To scheme, to lie, to cheat for a paycheck is pretty down, dirty, and desperate; if you ask me. A $5000 check is not worth my character, my reputation, or my soul. At the end of the day, I have to live with myself, and sleep at night, and I do - Very Well

Cathy - I recently did a post on this topic and was amazed at the number of comments regarding the unethical actions of Realtors®; and what was most surprising was: The majority of the negative comments were from other Realtors®. Guess there is room for improvement.

What kllls me is that those unethical realtors are ones raking in gobs of gold!!! We, on the other hand, are not allowed to say anything about their behaviours to the public or we get reported. Amazes me everytime.
