I can say, with absolute certainty, that is not the norm.
For every sale they make, there are countless others they don’t. And they still have to put in the time.
I’ve gone through many realtors looking for a house, all of them gave me hours of their time and didn’t see a penny in return.
That said, I don’t think realtors are necessary and we should push the idea that people shouldn’t use them unless they think they need to.
Then they would be contesting the charges. A plea of ‘not guilty’ means you are contesting the charges.
Yes, contesting the charges has a completely different function than not contesting the charges.
You seem to equate a plea of ‘not guilty’ with ‘not confessing.’ This isn’t true. A plea of not guilty means you are contesting the charges.
A plea of ‘no contest’ means you are not contesting the charges, nor are you admitting guilt (confessing.)
Sorry, I’ve explained things as best I can. If you don’t get it now, you never will and I think we should both move on.
