how-tough-are-bail-bonds-enforcement-agents One of the biggest problems the bail bonds industry runs into is that most people have learned about the bail process from television and movies. While these interpretations of the business are exciting and make for fun viewing, they aren’t an accurate representation of the industry. When most people hear the words bail bonds agent, they immediately conjure up an image of a big, tough guy who will stop at nothing to bring them back to jail. This is not the case at all. Yes, if you fail to make your court appearance, we won’t be happy with you, but that doesn’t mean we’ll adopt a wanted dead or alive type attitude that many people seem to expect. First, there are limits to what we can and can’t do when you fail to make a court appearance. The first thing to consider is that we aren’t your only problem when you skip bail. You’re also going to be in trouble with the court. In many cases, failing to appear in court results in:
  • An arrest warrant being issued
  • A failure to appear charge getting filed against you
  • Sometimes driver’s licenses are suspended
  • The amount of any future bail will be raised, or you’ll be denied bail completely

selling-real-estate-without-a-license Selling real estate seems simple enough. Someone wants to sell their house. You know a few people who would be interested. You agree to act as a broker between everyone. Considering that people sell houses as “for sale by owner” all the time, what can possibly go wrong. Yes, it’s possible that this could turn into a good deal for everyone, it can also go horribly sideways. While state laws do allow you to sell your house without the aid of a real estate agent, you’re not allowed to step in and act as a broker for another person unless you’ve been properly licensed by the state. Getting a real estate license in California isn’t necessarily difficult, but it does require some commitment on your part. The state real estate board wants proof that you clearly understand the ins and outs of real estate law. The State of California won’t issue a real estate license to you until you’ve:
  • Completed a specified real estate course
  • Passed a written exam
  • Undergone a thorough state background check
