Jim – good to hear, I can’t wait. I’ve written on the topics recently as well. Hopefully, the chorus continues to build!

@Jim Rake – Shhh! That’s the topic of my post next week! The short answer is – not a damn thing, and the ethics complaint process is broken.

Jim – Topics near and dear to my heart. Ethics and training. We know where we are, but how do get to where we need to be as a profession? Do we think NAR is going to lead us there?

A few weeks ago, one of our local Board staff members defended the Ethics complaint process status quo very strongly. One has to wonder, why aren’t we asking ourselves if the complaint/greivance process can be improved?

We bemoan our current state, i.e., the lack of professionalism & accountability, but what have we done at our local Board, or nationally, to change things?
How do we convince our industry that there’s something missing when it comes to agent training and accountability?
Two weeks of classes, a few hundred dollars & we’re qualified to conduct business? No standardized, mandatory mentoring program for new agents? Why not?
Re-occurring Ethics training, the same thirty powerpoint slides each time. And we wonder why things don’t change?

[...] This is my response to the NAR’s response to the Smart Money article at Agent Genius, specifically to the claim that all Realtors are trained professionals. [...]

In Arizona 45 hours were required when I first got my license in 1978. But now it is 90 hours – so there.

Also, one thing I learned in real estate licensing school that I actually use is: an acre is 43,560 square feet.

Knowing that is professional isn’t it?
