Today’s Realtors are here because they have outlasted the ride of the past 3 years and because they are very good at what they do. Looking back over the past 10 years of my Real Estate Career, I can see ups and downs of the market and the effort that must be exerted just to get your client base.
Life as a Realtor or Agent is a mix of knowledge of your craft, personality and luck. When you see all of the statistics that are being thrown around by almost everyone inside the business and out, it doesn’t mention the stat of the number of Realtor agents that are still in the business compared to just 3 years ago.
When I first started out there was 3 Real Estate schools to choose from, then when the industry boomed in the 2005 to 2006, all you heard on the radio and TV was Real Estate schools and not to miss out on the ride. You would meet someone on the street and they two were a Realtor or going to training. The local MLS increased almost 50% membership and State fees also gained their fair share of the boom.
Those days are gone and today the memberships and number of Realtors are back and maybe lower than the pre-2005 days. It has taken its toll on my colleagues and has left the full time hard working folks that continued to hone their craft. Today’s Realtor has lasted through the years and continues to move foreword to provide excellent and professional services to clients and business partners...
