A real estate professional argues that media unfairly vilifies REALTORS by generalizing isolated bad actors to the whole profession, especially one dominated by women. The speaker questions class-action lawsuits against agents, suggesting they benefit lawyers more than the agents themselves, and calls for pushback against biased coverage.
That's one thing that's beautiful about this business. There truly is a place for each person that gets in if they're willing to work hard and carve it out. So, when you think about how hard it is to get established, how easy it is to get in, the hard part is staying in. If you would talk to REALTORS® in your community, and especially if you are a consumer who landed on this video for some reason, I want you to ask yourself, why is it that the mainstream media wants to trash micro entrepreneurs stand on top of a profession that is primarily women. Why are we the bad guys? Because one person somewhere got mad at a real estate agent one time. So we're all the bad guys here. If you're speaking up and you're supporting the lawsuits and the outcomes, you really think class action lawyers are more worthy of protection than realtors?
