Thanks for the insight...I am not too worried about it but it still just irritates that no one took ownership of the article.  I agree completely that good agents have no need to worry and everyone who uses a good agent knows the quality of work that we do.

Hope all is well.</description>

		<description>Kevin,

I also found this offensive at first, but come to think of it, those things do happen in reality. Simply denying it is plain stupid; we have to acknowledge it somehow. It does leave a bad impression for those who only read it on the surface and for those who aren&#039;t knowledgeable in our profession.

I know a few agents who are guilty with number four on your list. As real estate agents and brokers, we should place the interest of our client first, not ours. There will always be rotten apples in any bunch, and I look at this article as a warning for those who do not have a clue.

again, the article might contribute to the bad image of a typical real estate broker. But we shouldnt worry too much about it. If were really that good, then the more will our clients see that were not the typical real estate broker they imagined us to be.

Cheers!
