Real estate agent ethics

Huh? Say what?

I said, (if you had read it), that complaining to a toothless agency may or
may not get relief. To try it. If they wouldn't do a damn thing about my
lawyer making a $44,000 mistake, a real estate agency might not take any
action on a behavioral issue. After all, the agent did not make a real
mistake that cost anyone any money.

People like me? WTF does that mean? People like me would simply back her
into a corner, slap the living shit out of her, and give her the attitude
adjustment she needed.

Which planet do you live on? Here on earth, you can't even get the police
to protect battered women and "take action" until they have a toe tag. You
think the real estate board has any teeth?

Can I meet you tomorrow to show you this bridge I have for sale? It's very
reasonable, and there's NO qualifying!

In the past I had to file a grievance with the State Board of Licensing in
NY complaining about a serious error in a land survey that cost me 24000 to
correct. They investigated and found the surveyor in error. I took their
report and sued the surveyor and won my case.
I also filed against a chain pharmacy for making an error in a prescription
for my dog. The prescription read 5mg and they gave 500mg. The store was
heavily fined.
And I do live on planet Earth and if you think you're the ultimate in brains
or experiences, I have a bridge for sale for you.

Please explain what you meant by your "people like you" paragraph. I said
basically the same thing you said, and you got all riled up.

"People like you" refers to people who say it's not worth the effort,
they're not going to do anything. And I got riled up about your attitude
"Can I meet you tomorrow to show you this bridge I have for sale?" Sounded
very pompous and condescending and intitmating that you're smarter than me
or I'm dumber than you.
