These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

But I was salary, no matter how much I worked I made the same amount, its taken almost 3 years of not being in corporate America to unlearn (and I still battle them every day) the BS ideals they preach there, and I'm certain if I had gotten into a sales roll from the beginning I could have used that combined with my work ethic to bank way more cash by the time 2017-2018 rolled around to start investing.  

If you feel it's an ethical issue, that's fine, but it's not breaking the law....

I look for veterans because I know they have a good work ethic and I can train them if they want to work. 

I am just wondering what the real estate agent can legally and ethically do?  

I'm looking at it from more of a moral/ethical perspective...

Of course i'm going to be following the law and doing everything ethically, i'm just preparing for the what ifs.
