As experts in real estate and licensees, they are expected to operate ethically and using their local knowledge of their markets against the lender is considered unfair practises.

Then you have to have confidence that you are acting in a legal, professional and ethical way.

It is so unfortunate some don't have as strong a work ethic as they should... families lives are hanging in the balance here!

Never complain about another agent with a client, ethics, but if they open the door to your opinion, you might carefully explain how things are suppose to work on the MLS.

Along the way you will get rewarded for your hard work ethics and trust worthy business.Hope this helps.

I agree with Jon H - I don't see any way that the LL avoids ethical or legal responsibility for fixing an AC unit that was operating when they moved in.

There is definitely a contingent of people who think that real estate agents are nothing but self serving scum suckers who do nothing to earn their compensation.However, the tune can often change when acting as a principal in a transaction and the commission can be taken off the table (if necessary).Also, Realtors can be somewhat limited by certain legal and ethical standards that would not apply to a non-licensed investor--like the required disclosure of the license itself or respecting other agents' implied agency relationships.But the license provides many significant advantages when approaching deals and strategies including the ability to exclusively list a property, represent buyers directly rather than assigning contracts, get direct access to properties, access state approved forms, write tons of offers that have low chances of success, etc.And of course there's the MLS.

The difference is night and day with work ethic and communication.

As an incentive, he offers to give Bill 15% of net gains from rehab in return for handing over the deeds.Is there anything ethically or legally wrong with this?

Honestly speaking, your monthly income is dictated by your work ethic.
