Real estate agents

There is a news report about moves to upgrade the professionalism of real estate agents. This follows complaints from the public about the unethical practices of some agents.

Will it work?

It is difficult. But it is a step in the right direction.

Is there another alternative?

Yes. We can educate the consumers and empower the consumers (owners or buyers of the property) on the steps to take to handle the transcations on their own.

When there is a real alternative, i.e. do it yourself, then the real estate agents will become be more efficient and bring down the cost to the consumers.
