Common ‘Mistakes’ or Blatant Disregard for Our Real Estate Industry?

There are Laws we learn in Real Estate School and that we PRACTICE every day as licensees.  I admit it…I AM ANAL about abiding by our Real Estate Laws and following our COE. There are no cutting corners in real estate for me and it irritates me when there are others that do….blatantly.

Common ‘Mistakes’ or Blatant Disregard?

Breaking the Law:  When one gets arrested, charged and convicted for drunk driving, doing drugs, not paying taxes on commission (In Hawaii we have to pay not only State and Federal Taxes but General Excise Taxes too!) stealing etc. you are not only risking your license…but will ruin your reputation. Being a law abiding citizen should not be a problem anyway.

Cutting Corners:   Initialing and/or dating documents ‘for your clients’ because you are too lazy or embarrassed that you made a mistake or missed something is a ”shame on you”.  Get off your behind and do it right.  In my book, it’s the same as forging and if it comes back to bite you in the butt…you can only blame yourself.

Unlicensed Activity: There are many friends, relatives and acquaintances who believe they can do a better job than we do. Ha!  Well, instead of ‘talking’ they need to take the proper steps to becomes licensed and give the correct information. Same goes for those claiming to be contractors or any other professional that requires licensing and they are not.

REALTORS® follow a Strict Code of Ethics:  I’m sure the majority do and bottom line is that if each individual lives by good daily morals and values then there will be no problem following the COE. Following our laws, rules in communities and our place of employment is just something that comes naturally. If it doesn’t then you have a problem.

Support our Real Estate Industry….

…..and just ‘DO THE RIGHT THING’.

Illusion or Reality?

 

An illusion is a distortion of reality. We look at an object and it appears to be something that really isn't but when we train our brain to look at the object differently then we may perceive the object differently as well. Some illusions take on different perceptions from the assumptions a brain makes. Smell, a disorder (like a headache) and so forth may appear differently under certain circumstances.

We are all human and we all have different thought, beliefs and values. With this in mind we know that ALL humans think differently and therefore have different opinons and when it comes down to it we all have a different perception on the way we run our business.

The Real Estate Industry is a highly diverse profession due to the fact that we deal with ...humans. All ethnicities and cultural values that will be taken into consideration when interacting with our clients, peers and other industry professionals in our business. All who have different thinking, beliefs, values and behaviors.

If there is one thing we all agree on is that we are there to LISTEN to our clients and peers and grasp on to the fact that we can only succeed in a successful transaction if there is TEAMWORK throughout.

The illusion is believing we are ALWAYS right.

The reality is WHEN we step into another person shoes.
