Hi TheHood
You mention: “You didn’t mention FT might re-educate the recalcitrant agent”
true i did not, because (a) who knows if they will educate him; (b) is there a point inasmuch as how can FT know if the education will stick with him; and (c) is the re-education even mandatory?
You also mention: ” one might find themselves asking what is the point of the rules if there is no real consequence, they might also find themselves asking how did this person qualify for this licence … so many questions”.
I agree 100% with you.
It seems to me that the rules governing (in this case) strata agents – but seemingly applicable to all real estate agents – were written by the strata industry itself.
How is it that if I complain and FT confirms my allegations, than I am not allowed to know what penalty is handed out to the agent? What an outrage.
What next? A thief steals your car and a pressure group of ex cons lobbies the state not to disclose any penalty handed down to a thief?
Also why must an agent be the subject multiple customer complaints in a month before he goes on a name and shame register?
