The person or persons writting this article obviously didn't check out the Real estate Industry very well...I've been in this business as a salesman, Broker, Manager and Broker/Owner(21 years) and we have a large company(150 million sales per year plus) with over 30 agents and we've never had an agent loose his/her license..after 32 years in this area in Real Estate, I only know of three license's lost...There's over 700,000 agents in this country and very few do things that cause serious legal problems....it happpens, but it happens very little in relation to the number of agents and the 5 million transactions per year..Real estate agents are l lot more honest then Car Salesman, attorneys, Doctors and it appears also accountants and chief executives of large firms(ie. ENRON)...ENUFF SAID, THANKS, J. Darby
