I recently read a blog with some very unsavory comments and generalizations about Realtors. The commentator stated that, "Most Realtors are not prepared and have not faced the reality that markets go up and down. He stated that Realtors are essentially limited service providers, they are lead generation machines, and they don't know real estate well." Well lets just say we can generalize on all different types of professions.
Sure we may have had some people join our association in the last few years that didn't have to work very hard to get a sale but everyone has to start some where and I am sure that if they plan to stay in this business they will adjust.
On Activerain I have been really impressed with the information and knowledge I can find to assist me in my business and although I have been a Realtor for 9 years and an Auctioneer for much less I have had to make adjustments also. People that live off of commissions and work with the general public in up markets and down markets deserve to be commended. This is not an easy way to make a living. If it were everybody would be doing it. You have to love this business and have a lot of commitment to continually grow.
Is our industry begging for a makeover? As the market is constantly changing so are we. As technology changes so do we. As Seller and Buyer needs change, we adjust to service those needs. Realtors are constantly making over their business it's the only to stay in business.
