Abstract:In the biblical book of Genesis the story of the Tower of Babel discusses a time when the people of Earth following the flood of Noah were unified in speech and sought to build a giant tower reaching to the heavens. God intervened and confused the languages of the people causing disunity and resulting in the great tower to remain unfinished. In modern times, many archeologists have been reluctant to attribute historical basis to the story, instead suggesting it was invented as a teaching myth. However recent discoveries in Babylon bring support that the story had a basis in fact.Interested in facts about Archeology?

When customers are in the market looking for a home, weather it’s their first home or their fifth, they want to be able to work with an agent they can 1000% trust. Real estate agents are going to be in possession of a lot of personal information from their clients, as well as large amounts of money from the clients. There have been many cases where agents come in possession of large sums of money from the clients, and feel as if they can take or “borrow” small amount without anyone noticing. The moment any kind of money received from the clients goes into anything else than was agreed on, those funds become commingling funds. Commingling funds puts  you at RISK of ,not only, losing your real estate license but as well as losing a lot of business. In the case an agent is convicted of com... 10/10/2021

This is my first blog post so bear with me. I am going thru the steps to become a real estate professional and wanted to share some experiences I have had with other real estate professionals who have shown my houses in the past few years. First, you should know that most people have cameras in their house and people are watching and listening when you are showing their home. A few comments were made that were way off topic to persuade the buyers into a different direction, maybe to persuade them towards a more expensive home? Not sure what the agenda was but at times it felt like a huge waste of time given that one of the homes we lived in was our primary home. We have children so please imagine the torture it was to put the kids in the car to ensure the messes didn't continue to grow ... 10/09/2021

As I am setting here studying and reading the many was to lose your license and also read many disciplinary cases. Even though they are all very important and we should all work hard to have an awesome long career. One of the ones that really stick out to me is Misrepresentation. I believe its very important that from day one your clients are receiving 100% of the correct information. The first impression you make is the important one. If they know they can trust you then, than they can trust that you will take care of them every step of the way.  10/07/2021

Dishonesty is a pretty quick way to lose your license because of the resulting consequences. Many of the other ways to lose your license fall under dishonesty. For example, false affiliation is a result of dishonesty. You must always be associated with a broker. If you lie and tell a client that you are associated with a broker when you aren't, you can get in trouble.Dishonesty also can ruin your reputation. There is a lot of networking that goes into the real estate business. If you are dishonest and practicing poorly, that reputation will follow you. Clients will not recommend you to their friends once it's time for them to find a house because you weren't honest with them. It truly has the potential to ruin your business. 10/05/2021
