"And so is your claim for compassion as a result of Elroy's casual off the cuff comment..." Nope, I don't buy into it. I feel for what happened to the victim, family, and friends. This act sends another message to agents to become more aware of their environmet and attention to caution.

On another subject, agreed, the barrier to entry is so minimal and any yahoo can practice selling real estate. Stricter rules and requirements would make for knowledgeable agents in general, but not necessarily an improvment in the industry nor their ability as marketing agents.

Regardless, this does not preclude the fact that a client should perform due diligence when it comes to their largest investment. Although the majority of agents may lack in marketing and/or basic RE knowledge, the minority of those practicing as "professionals" are abundant, even if it means interviewing more than what is perceived is enough to find the right one.
