The biggest threat to Realtors

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) commissioned a new report called the D.A.N.G.E.R. report. Basically, the report details different threats that are out there that can threaten agents, brokers, real estate associations and the MLS. It's a very informative and useful report. Anyhow, the number 1 threat facing today's realtors is. . . . . . . . other realtors.

Yes, all those untrained, unethical, shady and part time agents are threatening the credibility of our profession. And when the public has no confidence in a group or profession, they will take their dollars elsewhere.

In my time as an agent here in the silicon valley, I've had to deal with my share of incompetent, lazy, unethical and shady operators. Most agents that I have done business with aren't like that, but some are. Many don't want to invest the time and money into getting additional training like I have and some just want to get that commission even if it means being fraudulent. And according to the DANGER report, agents such as this are threatening the credibility of our industry to they point where we viewed in the same light as used car salesmen.

'Marginal Agents' Biggest Threat to Industry
