I am a new student enrolled in the Utah Real Estate course and we are learning about the 21 ways to lose a license. I have had my opened to how many dishonest and untrustworthy agents there are out there. I know they show us the bad for the training but the fact that they were true stories was disheartening.I was extremly surprised at the money proplems area. I don't understand how someone who is in the business to help people can knowingly hurt them like they do. I was very disapointed to learn that this actually happens by licensed agents, I guess I was naive to the world that I choose to see as good, this may stem from my previous occupation as a nurse and with me thinking that everyone has the same heart as I do. 03/25/2021

   Hello to all who are reading this! My name is Sam and I’m excited to be apart of this industry. I’m currently in school right now and am enjoying my time and learning a lot.    We were given an assignment to discuss one of the 21 ways to lose a license and I decided to talk about being dishonest. It’s so easy to do, or not to do. There’s some pretty big consequences which ever way you decide to go. Personally, I wouldn’t want to lose my license over being dishonest. It’s important, especially in this industry, to be honest because a lot of the time you’re dealing with peoples life’s savings. I think in a situation where you could want to lie about something that might put an extra buck or two in your pocket probably isn’t worth it in the end. If anyone ever found out you or someone e... 03/17/2021
