Passing the Cases

I believe we had the shortest Grievance Committee meeting on record this month. There were four cases, and we were done in 20 minutes. In addition to my peer review we had the following: 

1. An agent last year offered to renew their client's home warranty a year after they moved in. He put it in writing. He hasn't renewed it at this point, but he isn't denying he offered. The buyer is unhappy. They feel they were cheated. We are letting the High Inquisitor Squad figure this one out.

2.  An agent wrote a contract for a buyer on a house. The buyer then decided they didn't want the house and told the agent they were going to rent. The buyer then found another agent and had them write the offer. The buyer got the house. Which agent gets the commission? I don't know either. Let the High Inquisitor Squad figure that one out too.

3. An agent who has some pretty visible and colorful billboards around town took to his business social media page to put up a tasteless and off-color video about his opinion about women of a certain ethnic group. Someone, who just happened to be a female member of this certain ethnic group, complained. My take is the agent was as an idiot. But is being an idiot an ethics violation? It seems to me he could still be the agent with visible and colorful billboards around town and also keep his opinions about women of a certain ethnic group to himself and still make it through the day. The Grievance Committee's take was that the High Inquisitor Squad could figure this one out as well. 

We are a passive aggressive bunch, aren't we?
