Seems like a straightforward scenario, right? Well as a matter of fact, it is pretty straightforward when it comes to what you do that can jeopardize a real estate license. What is less straight forward is which classification your infraction will fall under.

For example, let's say that there was an agent who completed the documentation that was needed and received funds due, then when it came to getting that documentation where it needed to go, th... 03/26/2024

While all realtors recognize the importance of generating leads and dedicate significant time to it, far fewer invest substantial efforts into customer retention. Consequently, despite achieving high levels of customer satisfaction, many struggle to secure repeat business. Research conducted by Remax indicates that although approximately 90% of clients were happy with their realtors and expressed willingness to do business with them again, a mere 17% actually did.
