Its way too easy for people to become licensed real estate professionals. Just my 2 cents. I think that at least an assoicates degree should be required to become a licesned agent.

Easy money-people come to the branch. (And the wrong thing the do) We had, year 2005 in the Malaga region here in Spain, around 27.000 real estate agents.

Complaints against agents by consumers are up, but they want us (licensed agents) to make formal complaints against other agents and name names.
