During "good" market periods, many people who never had any experience in serving the public in one of their most important financial decisions have created "chaos" in many "new owners", leaving them behind with complicated situations in which more experienced agents end up "fixing"those problems in order to keep the economy going and not defaulting in their loans.Whatever decisions you may have in this topic, you should not overlook the quality of education and reponsability of all those who deal with the finances of our population by providing faire measurements that can be simple, straight forward and not complicated for all of us in this industry to carry on. This will avoid for those who are always looking for loop holes in the system. </body> </HTML>
