I've never filed nor had a complaint filed against me. I have not served on pro standards or grievance committee and would submit that they probably don't want me on either one because I would be in favor of public flogging, tarring and feathering. Also, have you noticed that some flagrant offenders often end up not only in leadership, but in education and training? Macrocosm, microcosm. Welcome to America.

I have gone to hearings and testified on behalf of agents that I know in their hearts did not intentionally violate the rules and helped save their licenses.   Truly good agents need to be supported and maintained because they are so hard to come by.

I have filed against 3 KW agents who took the company plans literally and walked right past my sign in the front yard to solicit a listing. Nada, zip, nothing from the guardians of the "CODE OF ETHICS" 

When you read me mocking the idea and the process, it is based on reality.

No, have not and would not serve a puppet regime.

I filed a grievance and WON!

They gave me nothing and put  a "letter" in her file. The agent is still practicing real estate in my area today. The committee was basically to scared to punish her. Nothing but a big waste of time.

Fred Griffin - I never filed against anyone. On first deal, a friend who bought through me was working with another agent (no contract) and worked with me for few months before buying a home - she asked for procurement, did not work, obviously.

I served on the local Grievance Committee many years ago, Have not had anything filed against myself, and I did file an Ethics complaint against another agent. I find too many agents don't take the time to file complaints and hold the unethical agents accountable for their actions.

The repeated violators are still in the business protected by their broker. I am eternally optimistic as some need to go back hehind bars (again). You go to BRE for their license. Often their broker and agents are on the same team and one is the frontman.
