I want to be a successful young head turner in this industry while still applying the utmost ethical practices.

I now suspect that Sherman Bridge has serious internal issues as well and the good people, the reliable, service oriented, ethical and "get things done" people flee this company.

You always want to stay within the lines of business ethics but don't let requirements such as the "Proof of funds" letter intimidate you - you can do anything. 

From that experience I learned the term realtor and ethics were by no means synonymous.  

In a very direct way, I said to the attorney that they needed to re-evaluate their career choices and ethics and hung up.I never heard another word and the tenants were evicted shortly thereafter.

This is the prescription phase, where you show the Seller that your service is the best available treatment, taking all the factors of the Seller’s situation into consideration for their pain.

If the buyer is ethical s/he will do what they've agreed to do pursuant to their contract.

If you want to practice real estate, or make money investing in real estate, get a good education, act honorably and ethically, and don't promise something unless you intend to do it.

Look at thier previous flips get try to find out if they're ethical.

We have experience with new construction and run an extremely ethical operation.
