agents: Comments on "Call for Supplanting NAR" from Mark Nadel - 09/12/07 04:43 AM
Just about two weeks ago I published post "Call for Supplanting NAR", where I commented on the post of Greg Swann , the Bloodhound Blog editor under this title. I mentioned that I am not convinced to the proposed idea. I share my doubts with Mark Nadel, the author of "A Critical Assessment of the Traditional Residential Real Estate Broker Commission Rate Structure". Mark replied and provided very interesting comments to Greg's idea. Here is Marks response (he authorized me to share it):

agents: Why do many real estate agents not follow up with leads that they generate on the web? - 06/30/07 04:32 AM
Dave Conklin from Lanaster, PA asked the following question on Trulia Voices:
Why do many real estate agents not follow up with leads that they generate on the web?
Here is my reply:
It is easier said than done. Out of 100% agents out there probably 15 - 25% is successful and can be referred to as a "finished product". Let’s call the rest as agents “in transition”. Agents “in transition”, either just started their careers, are on the way up or on the way down and out of the business. There are a lot of part-timers and those who will make just … (9 comments)
