Isn't it about time that real estate agents should be regulated?

Hi to all on this blog post.
It is interesting to read about Ken McKenzie.
It seems he is the same McKenzie from the US court case.
Although he did not change his name as Cromwell did.
But the question is, is it not about time that real estate agents should be licensed to operate on SXM? they have to be licensed to sell realestate in the US.
One needs a special degree to operate as a real estate agent in Europe.
So it is only natural that pirates from the US come here to paradise island to hide their identity, make loads of money and contibute not one iota to the islands tax coffers.
I do believe that it is way past time, but we can still catch up with this issue by evaluating our real estate companies, weeding out the illegals, offering real estate courses to our youth and make it compulsory to have a real estate license to operate on SXM.
As long as those real estate licenses are not sold by the politicans as they do with all other licenses and permits.
On another note, McKenzie works for Century 21, owned by D.Alcott who also owns Learning Unlimited school, would be wise for Alcott to distance himself from this man.
