Casting Blame

I think I am repeating myself .... so what !

I think the whole System would work better if the due diligence and information work regarding at what price the Lender will let a Property go for ..... must and should be done prior to a Listing appearing on the MLS.

It's not just the Banks. Sometimes the old saying "we have met the enemy and it is us" applies to an Organization (NAR) that fails to look inward and cleanse itself.

Let the Industry Itself work toward to professionalism ..... it's way to easy to blame someone else.

We should be making friends with the Lenders ..... not blame them for a situation that was thrust on them by the nitwits in Washington of all political persuasions.

More on Agency

I previously mentioned that it would be wise to obtain a signed Agency Agreement with your Licensee.

Another reason:
In Florida, there is a presumption of partial representation and no notice is required to bring this to the attention of a Buyer (or Seller). Shame on the Florida Legislature in stripping away the "notice requirements" as of July 1, 2008.
