“This is why I laugh at the idea of a broker or worse a realtor calling themselves professionals…they don’t have a freaking clue…”
You have painted the entire industry to be a bunch of bumbling idiots. This is not true. I am not saying that there are not a whole lot of idiots that are licensed. Believe me I have dealt with lots of them. I am saying that I am not one of them and I have dealt with many others who are quite bright and have a diverse interest in other professions and are quite educated.
My point is that there are those like myself who are much more educated then you implied in your post. I have no power over what the state mandates in order to be called a real estate professional. The designation is from the state DRE. Don’t hate the players, hate the game, because you get to choose the realtor or broker you work with. If you get an idiot change. Commissions are not law, they are negotiable by law. Nobody forces you to use these people.
