Last week the Grievances Committee all got together to decide the fate of a few folks. I love this group. Imagine if you will a bunch of contract and code of ethics nerds sitting around discussing the difference between po-tay-to and po-tah-to. Oh... the fun times we have!
Anyway, we had a few cases this month.
I would like to go on record as saying if you are a buyer and you send a code of ethics complaint against an agent saying the agent promised you two dozen cookies (or something else--anything else) as a housewarming gift but the agent didn't deliver. That is not a code of ethics violation.
Can we please just agree on that? Actually, the committee did.
We also agreed the buyer who had a complaint that his agent didn't serve him well needed to go to the High Inquisitor Squad. That was a lively discussion and I got to peer review it. Fortunately, it wasn't 1,200 pages.
And finally, the agent who sent out print advertising of someone else's listing passing it off as his own, will be talking to the High Inquisitor Squad. So will his broker who is to expected to approve all advertising before it is sent out and probably didn't even know his agent did that.
