Could you imagine the hard sell, hot air and BS, coming from this group of individuals?

Seems to me, this article is just another marketing tool.

Sales people, patting themselves on the back… How unusual. This is news? Or self promotion?

At least the nasty and corrupt realtors from the less affluent areas of Phuket (i.e. Rawai and Nai Harn) are not proudly, pompously, holding up awards. No vulture awards just yet in this line of biz.

How can a realtor be corrupt? Dishonest, untrustworthy, yes, but are local realtors really paying off gov't officials? Yes some developers have done so, but a realtor, really?
