Depends whether you consider the glass half full or half empty I guess.

Might I say that this is really an interesting way to establish a right and wrong, I am sure most members here are fine upstanding individuals but the fact remains the members here are in the majority totally anonymous. Just an observation.
If it doesn't support your pre existing view, it's got no value?likewow said:So i see the poll as having limited value and David, agents sloppy paperwork is the least of the industries worries.

Amarantha said:The way I interpreted the poll was that it was simply asking about people's reactions when they did encounter an unethical agent (regardless of whether those agents represent 80% or 0.08% of the industry). I thought it was very simple; the ensuing discussion has surprised me.
superted said:So it looks a bit worse then 50/50 at finding a good agent.... no matter how you dress it up the result looks bad
likewow said:Apparently the statistics are 20% absolutely honest ethical agents in the RE industry and 80% unethical or dishonest. That was related to me a few years ago by a friend who was/is an agent principal and who had been in the industry for decades.
Kevin Hockey said:Funny thing is while consumers seem to believe the REI's are not doing anything valuable for them REA's believe they are toothless tigers also. They simply have no authority, and thats the problem. They just mediate and collect stats, assist governments in legislation etc but if you want action you must go to the Office of Fair Trading in your state. They control the licences required to operate and have the authority and means to do something about it. Doesn't mean you wil get the result you want though
I am very pleased to see the result from this but would still like to see the number of happy clients around 80%. Still, far better than some would have you believe.

The REIs and most agents always say the opposite is true.
