Leftists can never argue policy during a general election, so they always spit out crap like this.

What could the OP have done differently? How could he avoid this in the future? He was not told it was a sale to his agents family member for a flip. The agent was less than forthcoming.

I agree with SDR and CAR that it needs to be pursued. I suggested through the relo company because they were injured more than the OP. But I don’t think dropping it and saying “lesson learned” is a good idea.

The licensing agencies can only protect consumers if bad acts are reported. Dropping it is leaving this agent out there with no blemishes, to rip off the next sucker.[/quote]

This is a difficult one. It’s not about whether a legal course exists, but whether it’s worth pursuing. I would definitely communicate it to your legal dept (a good employee would give them all info), but not in the mindset that you are looking for reconciliation (you’ve got bigger fish to fry on the job, right?).

HOWEVER,

I do appreciate the honesty displayed in this topic which is similar to what is going on in the market as a whole. ETFs and straight up service fees in the investing community is happy change for the market as a whole. sdr and BG announcing the costs and giving specific info on data very appreciated and informative and I thank the OP for bringing that out. My wifes family biz is dealing with the Health Care fiasco as an agency and are picking up biz from old school agents that have sat on their ass by being upfront about their commissions (which don’t cost their clients anything).

The market benefits from all this openness! (Although we could get a little more from the law side ;-).

Middlemen.

Yes, they can and will always provide value in a free market economy. The very fact we have investing services for common stock avows to this. You can complain that a common man cannot walk into the trading floor on Wall Street to make a transaction but the efficiency of the free market would be completely bogged down if it was not represented by trading services.

The best we can hope for is a competitive system where individuals like sdr provide an honest service, in which we will pay more if we had focused all our learning for a long time (assuming we were smart enough to pull it off). But as any consumer, we often pay a little bit more because it is not our “unique ability” to know this market otherwise we would make it our career. We wander over to Costco and Home Depot rather than buying from the Samsung/PepsiCO/Fisher directly. If you feel bad about it, you can always pick up some of their bonds on the market and hold them till maturity to make up some of that markup (as you can with home builder as well btw).

Don’t take your anger out on these middlemen. Find one that is honest to deal with and be happy for that.
