This is a very high responsibility. If an agent leaves out a document or doesn't disclose a material fact, and the seller or buyer are harmed, the agent could be held responsible. People like attorneys and real estate agents get Errors and Omissions insurance to protect themselves from their own innocent mistakes. An agent has a fiduciary duty to his or her client.

However, if the office is at all busy, floor time can be a great way to stay in touch with and meet other agents. Overhearing and being a part of conversations that start in the office can also be great for new agents. I did floor time more for these things than to actualy try to pick up business.

I went on several interviews with brokers this week. It seems as though they left a few of the above-mentioned details out during the recruiting process. They are, however, salespersons themselves. So all is forgiven. Thank you so much for being generous enough to share this information to help other newbies. Much success to you! You are absolutely right on every point.
