Interesting article on pubic perception of different occupation prestige; RE on bottom on list, even below lawyers. I am sure that most RE are honest people working to make ends meet, but a few bad apples in the profession can give a black eye to the entire profession.
I have to be very careful how to phrase this without violating the Code of Ethics. I have been in the business for 14 years, 12 as a Broker, and I have worked with countless of agents. In my experience most of them would do almost anything for a buck and that's why this profession has such a bad rep. I pretty much have my little list of agents whom I respect and I quietly pray that one from the list will be the one representing the other party in the transaction.
