I believe in representing my clients best interest. We go over the loan worksheet, I discuss the real costs of ownership, new vs old systems, not utilizing retirement funds, locations, crime statistics, and on an on. I know if I do my best at representing my clients, there will be plenty of money. Money is far from my primary focus. As with any business, there is a wide range of professionalism, experience, and integrity.

OK, the broad general statement was unfair. Yes, there are many who are ethical. But, I have met plenty that are focused on their own bottom line and are more than willing to facilitate.

I am afraid it is like many commission sales based occupations. There are good, bad, and some that are just plain mercenary.
