Suitcase Full Of Dignity & A Pocket Full Of Pride

It never ceases to amaze me the stories of lies, deceit & blatant fraud in our industry.  What really "frosts my cookies" is the attempt at justification.  You'll hear things like, "the system is flawed & my client is in a loophole".  "This is the ONLY way they'll ever get a home".  "It's not fair".  Give me a break!  Granted, the system can be flawed.  BUT we have a SYSTEM for a reason.

How far people will go & what they will risk to put together a deal is just downright disgusting.  Having said that - I'm all for exploring all of my options.  I'm all for creativity. LEGALLY! I'm all for brainstorming to get my client a great deal.  What I'm not all for is a breach of my integrity, my morals, my principles or THE LAW.

I have been told that one day I may choke on my principles.  I wouldn't doubt that for one second.  But one thing is for sure.  At the end of the day I am comfortable & confident that I have done my absolute best for my clients without ever prostituting my ethics.

Yes, I may give up a few commissions.  I may give up a few referrals.  I may even give up my right to remain silent, knowing anything I say can & will be held against me in a court of law.  What I won't give up is my honor, my integrity, my morals or my real estate license.

I'll take my Suitcase Full Of Dignity & My Pocket Full Of Pride!  I hope you will too!
