Heaven definitely has a plan... but it is not "real estate".

Ah yes, Mr. TOO LONG Blog Poster. He can hit some good points, but often his blogs are pretty wordy.

I know of him from my Coldwell Banker days and random Inman articles. I know he's worked within the industry but do not understand him to have ever held a license? However, while I do agree with him- we have too many licensed bozo's, I have a hard time taking criticism from a guy who's never been in the trenches.

I do agree with him in this article though; the Realtor designation should stand for and insist on competence & character; not just another fee collected for the NAR account. Thanks for posting the link Ronald Gombach I'd missed this post previously.

Any post that starts out with "Well, the number one problem of the real estate industry today is rampant incompetence on the part of the real estate agent. (In some cases, that incompetence crosses over into unethical and even illegal behavior.)" has my attention. In my opinion it was well-written and I will definitely want to read more of his views and solutions.

Thanks for the heads up, skimmed the article, have heard the complait before, but it is not likely to ever be solved as long as the government regulates who works in this industry rather than letting the market decide.
