Sometimes the
best way for bureaucratic overseers to help its PAYING membership is to make suggestions, but
thereafter to
get the hell out of their PAYING membership's every -
day, in - the - trenches, working for dollars (only IF successful with their own personal ways of doing business) way.
Maybe CREA's next TV ad should be a one minute piece wherein someone like me delivers an apology to the public for trying to convince them that all Realtors are professionals, when in fact far too many licensees on any given
day are tryouts who will become desperate for commissions before they pack it in, and that from here on in only properly pre-screened candidates will be allowed to attend real estate school and
thereafter embark on a three - year apprenticeship program before becoming licensed as a Realtor... on probation... because... the public deserves
better that it has been
getting from us.
