We have fiduciary responsibilities and a code of ethics but a lot of agents aren't really there to find you the best deal instead of themselves the best commission.

Good Afternoon BP Family,I am a newer investor and have an ethics question for you all - is it good business practice to have more than one agent in each market I am investing in?

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

Both legally and ethically - I really don't own the property and that's why I'm okay saying that.

It's not ethical.

So if there is a 'business' that hooks you up with a cash buyer, then it is ethical, but if it is a 'wholesaler' than it is unethical?

How ethical do you feel that person is?

Many may have done 100 deals this past year, but someone who does things wrong and never knows it, never gets hung, may advise you based on their success (and luck).I'd suggest also you calibrate your guru meter based on ethics in business, knowing what is legal and customary as well as fair dealings expected will be a good gauge in selecting an advisor in any business.I'm not totally anti-guru, most I see passing themselves off as experts (self appointed experts at that) have no business attempting to go where they go sometimes.

Those that know me, understand my work ethic and disposition aren't reflective of my age however when meeting new business partners they only have my image to base their judgement off.

Kimberly Land jscottFrom your post I would say its totally un ethical and most likely illegal.
