Does anybody else see this as another way to separate us from our money? I mean really, you pay money to then be trusted?

I read an article about that the other day and was completely dumbfounded at the cost...they think that's gonna be trustworthy? And getting a competing agent to "verify" your professionalism is easy; who doesn't have friends in the biz at other brokerages? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours...

We can do the same thing on LinkedIn for free, lol
