Ridiculous!

Jan. 30, 2009

Categorized in: Business of Real Estate

Tagged with: charlottesville, jim duncan, legislation, real estate broker, real estate education, virginia

It seems incredible that at a time when this profession gets more complex each day, the Virginia Senate thinks once you've been a broker for 15 years you no longer need to learn anything new.

But I've ranted about the lack of educational expectations in the industry before. I'll let my friend and colleague, Jim Duncan, in Charlottesville state the case this time around.

For the record, though, this is an idiotic idea. The only thing more idiotic is that it passed unanimously. Is there something in the water in Richmond?
