Is Your Agent Ethical??

I hate to make comments about my Realtor family, but recently I’ve witnessed a couple of incidents which cause me to feel sick. I guess I’m just different. I was raised with a conscience, and I like to sleep at night. Being a real estate agent isn’t always about money. It’s about providing a service. Do you know what your agent is doing? Is he/she representing you fairly and with integrity? If I list a house today, I will enter it into the Multiple Listing Service ASAP. I will not wait 8 days to put it in the system!! I will also not steal a client from another agent. Nor will I advertise another agent’s listings as my own, unless I have some kind of specific permission to do so. Yes, we all take ethics courses, but you can’t TEACH ethics to everyone! You’re either ethical or you’re not. So, buyers and sellers, find an agent you can trust, and one who is trustworty. Ask around town. And fellow agents, use your head and think about what you’re doing!!   mkm
