Reviving the public's trust in a Realtor in 2009

Many have seen the real estate market up close and inside the front door. What they haven't seen is how I am researching and protecting their investment. Short sales, foreclosures, resales, there are so many options for a buyer in this market. Low interest rates seem to be driving the current purchasing spree and there is not doubt the public is need of some type of security in response to the stock market. I am making sure my buyers understand what deal they can receive on each home they view. You can only know this if you actively show property each week because the market changes weekly if not daily. As for sellers, the same applies. One has to be actively listing properties to make sure to give a true depiction of the market.
The public doesn't trust Realtors for the simple fact so many were in the market had no business being there and at times gave horrible advice. Worst of all, there were those who took advantage of their buyers and sellers for the sole reason of the almighty dollar. I say, in 2009, make sure your Realtor is a full time, career oriented, honest agent, who looks out for your best interest, not their own. But a reminder, an honest agent is out to earn a commission because that is his or her livelyhood. So please be considerate of the fact when asking him or her to cut it for the benefit of your own.
