Why are we spending so much time and energy with this issue?  If the majority of us ignore this type of question perhaps they would get the message.

    Interesting thought that this is some Real Estate School in Utah. 

    Maybe somebody can email "the real Ruth Mary Hansen" through her LinkedIn page and ask her if she is aware of these questions.

I made a comment that she asked the same question just a few days ago. I just don't get the purpose of it.

These students are being given the same questions over and over to ask and frankly they are not the type of questions that will get anyone to pass a real estate comprehensive exam. They are way too subjective and varies state to state. They have gotten to be very annoying.

Jack,

Ignorance and stupidity are part of the normal course of events.  We all have seen plenty of misinformation here and elsewhere.  To give it credence and attention is to further this flow of miscommunication...All the best to you in 2016.  A

If you read their blog post it sounds like they have been an agent for some time, but it has zero information in their profile about company and no contact information.  Perhaps a company name and number should be a requirement to register

Sam Shueh had a great response to her first question.  To paraphrase: You're a managing broker AND you have to ask this question!

 

How do we report profiles?  I think it's time to a jump start on "spring cleaning"
