Summary
Episode 71: Dealing with the Real Estate Police – What Every Agent Should Know
In this episode, we sit down with Louisiana real estate commissioner Rick Roberts to demystify the "real estate police." Agents often fear the commission, but Rick explains what they really do, why they exist, and how agents can stay compliant with confidence.
What we cover:
- The difference between the commission and REALTOR® associations
- Where complaints really come from
- The #1 violation agents get in trouble for (mishandling funds)
- Social media and advertising compliance
- Team branding and broker visibility rules
- Why agents should volunteer in leadership roles
- The truth about deposits, escrow, and third-party holders
- "Time kills deals" and "If it's not in writing, it's not real"
- Rick's journey from frustrated agent to industry leader
