I went to a GRI class in Montana, I got food poisening, they let rookie agents into all of the classes and so it was real estate 101 and in no way a Graduate Program or advanced training of any kind. And the evenings were focused on alcohol and dancing when people's spouses were at home. I know of at least one marriage lost that week. I suppose some folks get information out of the classes they can put to use. I did not. In a later post I will tell you some of the things we were taught at the class. I mean no disrespect I just want honor, honesty and integrity to walk among Realtors and I see no real public protection, I see codes of ethics but from my vantage point I don't see many Realtors Following these ethics or accountible to do so. I see an industry riddled with deceit and the kind of money Realtors make, I see no end in sight. sounds Synical, sorry - but True. I do not speak from lack of experience in being lied to, backstabbed, and walked right into horrible situations because of lies of other Realtors.
