I never did write about the grievance committee meeting. Honestly, it wasn't spectacular. Here were our cases:
1. We agreed that a seller contacting a different agent wasn't a violation (for the agent) of "public trust."
2. We did agree that one case should go to arbitration because the agent had done hours of verifiable legwork and could prove it. Therefore, she was allowed to go to arbitration and plead her case for a commission she felt she was earned.
3. We had a case where it was decided there was enough evidence to go to high inquisitor squad of an agent who fast-talked a seller. The seller wants out of their listing agreement. Pro tip: if you are going to lie to your client, don't put it in writing. Also, perhaps as an agent it is best to explain the paperwork to your client. Personally, I think we owe this to them.
4. There was a case about an agent who called another agent something along the lines of a "stinky-poopoo-caca-head." There is actually a code of ethics violation for that. So, that one is going to the high inquisitor squad.
5. And finally, we didn't feel like it was a violation of public trust that another agent tried to rent a home from a property management company. The agent refused to give the security deposit and sign the lease so the property management company moved on after a few days and found another renter. We felt that the property management company did nothing wrong.
