Is the Real Estate Broker Owner or Managing Broker Responsible for Agents Ethics and Integrity?

Many say that the broker is of utmost importance in addressing the enforcement issue and keeping a watchful eye on the agents that they are responsible for and that the Broker should guide them through potential ethical and legal minefields.

This is such a Crock, there is NO WAY. I tried, NAR does not Listen, local boards do not listen.. if you fire them they move on and do it elsewhere. There is no way to "enforce" anything if the Association of Realtors or State Governing body does not back up the Broker Owner. the Agent just moves on, or starts their own company.

Realtor Accountability is a serious problem and NAR is to blame. As a Broker Owner I could not get help on issues where Realtors interfered with deals, flat out lied, and even if they were my agents all i could do was let them go. And then they complain to the State and Come after me. There is no way to "guide" with out the tools, integrity and accountability backing the BROKER...
