In recent days I have been talking to Realtors in my area and the consensus is that things have really tapered off for them since the tax credit expired. I am wondering if this is the same experience you are having in your area? I work in the Denver Metro Area of Colorado and things were supposedly much better here than in other places in the U.S. If that is the case, things could be really bad all the way around.
I could always be busier, but things are going ok for me at the present time. I recently achieved the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designation and I have to say that felt really good. Not sure what the opinion is of most Realtors regarding the CRS designation, but supposedly only 4 percent of us have it. Do you think that more Realtors do not get the designation because they do not have the production needed to achieve the designation?
Do you value certifications or designations? Do you think the public sees them as something that is important? I can honestly say that before I became a CRS, none of my clients asked me if I had it. Although, other Realtors in other states did. I can remember losing a couple of leads from Realtors because I was not a CRS.
I would be interested in knowing if you have seen business increase because of your designations? If so, which designations were the cause of your business increasing?
We would all be curious to know if you value education and why?
