Last Stand of the 6-Percenters

Thanks for the Link! Great Article. (Gee...clerk and Paper Shuffler...scary!)

 

It all comes down to relationships...

A computer cannot provide personalized customer service.  We as real estate agents may have it tougher in the future but we will not give up!

When I'm sitting out there in my sellers home at 9 pm on a Saturday evening explaining the offer that came in and making out a detailed etimated net sheet it usually hits home that we are working, and hard.  I've rarely worked less than 60 hours a week in this field.  I get amused thinking about salaried agents.  "Oh, you can only look at homes on the weekend?  Well we have one agent assigned this weekend, but he's already booked".  You have to work hard in this job and taking the hard work out will take the care given to buyers and sellers too!

Great read!  Thanks!

Hi Irena-

Thanks for the link - that is a great article.

People just don't get the point sometimes (well, more often than that actually!).

I just have to shake my head when I hear how anyone charging a "full commission" is "going down".  We've been steadily increasing our rates for a few years now and our business keeps growing.  Hum, we must be doing something wrong.
