They want high volume agents to generate income for themselves, and increase their stats.Yes, as a Realtor (not all agents are Realtors), you have to abide by the Code of Ethics. 

Good question mate.Been in the game long enough that I can sell till the "cow's come home" lolOr find a way to convert, monetize, optimize, etc...It's against my ethics so I choose not to.And I've done my fair share of charity and still do to this day.Feeding the poor per seBut I refuse to "Feed" the lazy and ignorant (And wealthy) with free information that took blood, sweat and tears and years to get.I'll let the guru's monetize on such folks with their books, guides and masterminds lol

I'm sure they must have some ethics rules they must follow?

Everybody has to eat so I'm not going to go into the ethics of it but you have to go into this eyes wide open that public adjusting like this is not, in my opinion, a job to use to get knowledge and experience in property management.  

I've had clients buy without ever seeing the place or seeing it hours before closing...the right boots on the ground is key but, while most realtors are ethical, no one has more invested in your long term success than you so don't rely on information from others who could profit from it.

The issue with good people and landlords that do it 'part time' (as is the majority) is that we want to apply our 'good' ethics to a situation or person that doesn't follow these same ethics. 

I am not denying that there are happy customers out there who probably got LUCKY and got matched with an ethical, fair, and intelligent CPA firm that came with their own team, but that is LUCK.

Let's keep this discussion professional, ethical, and constructive.Your input could make a significant difference in the success of my real estate ventures, and I'm sure it'll benefit others in the community too.

@Alex ClarkIt's wonderful to see you interested in real estate at such a young age, and you've already showed a strong work ethic via school, a full-time job, and your own business.

Work hard, save money and be very careful, many people in REI don't have a blue collar work ethic.
