Real Estate Commission

I have worked with hundreds of governmental agencies over 20+ years and never have I seen such a dysfunctional organization. I have worked with the commission on a project for over one year and this project realistically should have taken less than 6-8 weeks. The majority of my calls were passed from department to department and when the pass-off was made my calls and emails were not returned in a timely basis. I estimate that over 60-70% of my calls and emails were not returned at all. I had to call multiple times and email multiple times to even receive a response. And the responses that I did receive were perfunctory and looks as if it were composed by a 9 year old. This is truly sad as complying with the laws is compulsory, however, the commission certainly does not make it easy. Realistically, the director of the commission should be fired and management should be restructured, or the entire team should be fired and rebuilt from scratch. I have worked with many agencies in other states and the feeling you receive in some states is that they are 'here to help' and they are resourceful and responsive. This is absolutely not so with the Arkansas Real Estate Commission. To the contrary, when contacting then you feel as if you are imposing on them and bothering them. Communism died with the Cold War. We realize you have a monopoly on real estate licensing in Arkansas, however, you must bear in mind that you also have indirect competition (other states) and unfortunately we are dismantling our project (it was a $12,000,000+ project) and taking it to another state.
