Lukens (Real Estate Consumer) v. Cliff Holmquist (Virginia Realtor) - Ethics Violation

Folks, Realtors are Self Governed, they are not going to be hard on their own.. often times it is peers in the same market place doing the same thing and if they judge a Particular "Realtor" for their actions then they one day will be made accountable for their own actions...

Having to Take an "Ethics Class" for Violating someones right, hurting them financially or Flat Out Lying to them is NOTHING... this is pretty much NO ACTION... those classes are nothing that is really beneficial for the Real Estate Consumer....

If NAR at State, Local and National levels has no real accountablity measures in place then why bother having Ethics anyway.. oh I know why so the Consumer, the Real Estate Buying public things that "Realtors" - NAR members are of a Higher Standard and kepe using them and giving away their hard earned equity and getting NO Protection in the Process....

Here is a Link to Lukens (Consumer) v. Cliff Holmquist (Realtor) - a Real Estate Ethics Situation out of Virginia...

"" Under sworn oath, at the ethics hearing on 03/30/2007, Cliff Holmquist repeatedly denied the FACTS described in the pdf attachment.

Cliff Holmquist finally had to admit these to same FACTS in The Commonwealth Of Virginia Real Estate Board Consent Order. If the HRRA ethics hearings place trust and confidence in false and misleading sworn testimony from one of it's own Realtor members, of what value are these ethics hearings to the home and real estate purchasing public? ""

"" Mr. Cliff Holmquist was found in violation of the Code of Ethics and has taken the agency course as required by his sanction. A letter of warning has been placed in his membership files with HRRA. "" - This Means NOTHING folks... NAR Standards and Ethics Means NOTHING to the Real Estate Consumer...

"" Cliff Holmquist appears to now have acknowledged these FACTS in The Commonwealth Of Virginia Real Estate Board Consent Order, in order to resolve the complaint against him, with that department. "" Who Will Hold "Realtors" Accountable and Protect Real Estate Consumer?

Update to Post:

"Cliff Holmquist finally had to admit TO THESE same FACTS in The Commonwealth Of Virginia Real Estate Board Consent Order."
