What our members think of us!

Hold members to a higher standard of ethics and professionalism.

Fair housing issues...poor/late responses to offers presented..terrible listing practices...pocket listing/private listings are a lawsuit waiting to happen.

This is the biggest membership in the state...why not push for higher standards? Harder testing.
Nobody cares.
It is ALL about making money...
Keep getting more new agents who can market but can't fill out a contract...there should be 25-33% less agents...disclosures are not filled out, nearly-blank contracts sent over. REO agents unresponsive...listing agents knowing nothing about their own listings and take a week to get back...buyer agents not knowing what 'as-is' means.
Rampant abuse of square footage...calling everything that isn't a split-level a 'raised ranch'...
Excessive 'processing fees' by too many offices...especially on rentals. (Paying out $350 on a $1800 rental, but then if *I* don't show it [I always do], I'm the bad guy?)
These are professionalism issues and NOBODY wants to talk about them, least of all our boards because ownership really OWNS the boards, as we all know.

Too many agents skirt the laws, are VERY fuzzy with dual agency (which is ONLY going to get worse with private listings)...
You can tell some agents are fair housing violations waiting to happen by how they talk. They KNOW they have to SAY certain things, but I don't believe for a second they are being honest or fair with some clients. (Again, this is likely to manifest in private listings, but it is set up for that, isn't it? To avoid the detection, but still allow for subtle, uncaught racism? To allow under-marketing to 'certain' areas or certain 'types' of people? Because WHY else would it best serve our clients to make a property LESS available?)

People still too often associate 'us' with slimy sales techniques...I get a lot of second-hand clients that are once-bitten, twice shy about using ANY Realtor after shady practices they encountered the first time.

IR just sent us a similar questionnaire recently and I answered very much the same.
Now let's see if anybody is actually reading these.

Make 'us' better.
Please.

I hope & Pray you all believing in the living loving God of the universe JESUS CHRIST & HIS coming soon.

Like talking to a good friend!!

N/A

responsiveness

Very receptive and helpful.

I was very impressed with my jumpstart training.

The ability to talk to a real person on a phone,when electronic services do not work

very responsive. I can rely on the professional advice from the board when I run into difficult situations in doing my business.

You do very little and our dues are way too much! You are just not cost effective!

Questions are answered upon contact.

Lower the dues!

Nice variety of classes. Multiple locations that are convenient to classes.

Easy

The staff is always ready to help, sometimes I like to go into the office rather than deal with the computer.

Location options, benefits

I don't really like talking to the office staff there. They do not come across to me as friendly. I often leave feeling like I'm stupid and really inconvenienced them.

Very easy to communicate with

Ramona R. and others that support the members via telephone on short notice. A big mistake was losing Mike Manno during the merger a few years ago. Loyal people serving members make MORe good.

Please stop with the surveys.
