Asy,
you could not consider your self a member of the real estate industry if you did not dislike Neil Jenman. I think real estate agents should include it as a question in their job applications:
Q17: Do you disagree with Neil Jenman's philosophy of trying to clean up and legitimise the real estate industry?
Y N
Q18: Do you agree to criticise Neil Jenman at every opportunity
while working in the real estate industry?
Y N
In fact they should be the only two questions for applicants to the RE industry. Just answer yes to both and youre in.....
I guess the two questions for you would be:
Do you believe Jenman is the only 'clean' agent in the business?
and
Is Jenman actually DOING anything about his 'issues'?
Brains, I am constantly criticising anything unfair in the industry. I consider myself a 'clean' and 'legitimate' agent.
I also hope that I have helped people through this forum understand agents better, and also helped them with problems with their agent-dealings.
In addition to that I have given information and opinion on how to deal with all aspects of real estate, from looking for property to negotiating with agents.
Seriously, Brains, I don't like Jenman because he is all hot air. His staff are generally not happy (well, none of the ones I have spoken to have been happy, rather under much more pressure than you will find in a conventional office).
When Jenman does something REAL that will help, I will acknowledge it. For the meantime, I will keep watching, and criticising where I feel I need to.
