Should you Trust the BBB when wanting to Know about a Real Estate Brokerage.

No Way. Do not Expect information on unEthical Realtors to be at the BBB. They do NOT listen, they want you to Make Nice and work it out with Realtors and Mortgage brokers even in the face of Proven Fraud.

The Better Business Buruea is not what they claim to be nor are they what you think or expect them to be. The BBB is WORTHLESS, it is just another agency for folks to work at to make a living but is of no real use. I use to be a proud member but now I know it is is part of the Real Estate Hoax. I have seen Proven Fraud shown to them and they IGNORE it, they discourage complaints and want you to simply play nice.

There is no real way to know if a Real Estate Brokerage / Company has been complained against or not. I have seen proven fraud taken to the BBB and they encourage the consumer to work it out. So big time bad stuff happened and the consumer lost in a major way and the BBB says to work it out. Do not trust this as a source to find if a Realtor has integrity. Do not trust information at the BBB on a Real Estate Brokerage - you will not Find the TRUTH there.

My opinion is that a Realtor’s integrity is irrelevant. They can try and be honest but the system gets the best of them as well and you, the consumer pay the price. There is no true Realtor Accountability. So know more BEFORE you sign, Demand that your contract include what you want it to. Do NOT assume that your Realtors really knows more then your or that they can truly protect you in any way.
