Raising Dues to Increase Professionalism? This is Way Off!

2026-05-27T12:04:17-06:00

“Raise the dues!” “Raise the education hours to boost professionalism!” This is something I hear from other realtors all the time. It's interesting because there's this idea of professionalism out there, and the fact is, if you ask two different realtors what professionalism is, they don't even agree on what it means. Usually when somebody says we need to be more professional, what they mean is that somebody else did something that made it harder for them to do their business, and therefore they're not being professional. Professionalism on the Phone Sometimes these are legitimate concerns. Like they're not [...]

Working for Commission? You Better Get Your Priorities Straight!

2026-05-27T11:37:49-06:00

When we work in an industry, a service industry, and we work on commission, that potentially puts us in a directly adversarial role with our client. So if you sell a product and you have a product built they can see the product and know what its value is, and so whatever price you charge, they can decide to pay it or not. That’s easy to calculate. I’m providing a product, they decide to pay for the product for a certain amount of money, easy. There’s no ethical question there really at all, unless you start getting into the [...]

Can a Builder Give a Discount for Not Using a Buyer Agent?

2026-05-21T13:04:01-06:00

I saw an advertisement for a company. It was a house listed for sale and it was new construction, and so it was being listed by the company that built it. And one thing in their advertising that they said, and this was public advertising, they said if the buyer comes without having an agent then they will discount the pricing. And the question is, is that legal? Is that ethical to advertise that you will charge less if they come without an agent? Real Estate Commission Splits Now, one of the reasons this is even a thing is [...]

Why Are There Not More High Quality CE Classes for Real Estate Agents?

2026-05-19T17:49:58-06:00

Why don't we have more high-quality continuing education classes for real estate agents? Hey, I'm Danny Naylor with the Institute of Real Estate Education, Danny the Ethical Realtor, and I am a continuing education teacher.

Utah Real Estate License Application Steps

If you want to start selling real estate in Utah, speed matters - but so does getting every detail right.

Utah Education Waiver Real Estate Explained

2026-05-12T11:53:32-06:00

If you already have substantial real estate education or a related academic background, repeating 120 hours of prelicensing coursework may not be the fastest path to a Utah license.

For the right applicant, it can reduce duplicate coursework and move you closer to the licensing exam with less delay. The key phrase there is for the right applicant. An education waiver is not a shortcut for skipping requirements without proof. It is a formal review process used by Utah regulators to decide whether your prior education is equivalent to [...]
