Choose Wisely When Selecting Your REALTOR®

If you live in the Daytona Beach Florida area, you probably know that we've had no lack of REALTORS® here. But did you know that many of them are dropping out of the business? The overall sales have been too slow to sustain the number of REALTORS® we had. Too many agents got their real estate licenses in hopes of getting rich quick, inmoney the boom that prevailed for several years. And of the ones that remain, many more are working second jobs, leaving little time to effectively service their clients. 

Very quickly, let me point out a few important details about myself, then we'll move onto the educational portion of this post. 

  • I am still a full-time REALTOR®.
  • I am still selling houses and condos all over Volusia county.
  • I'm not going anywhere.
  • I'm in this for the long haul. 
  • I've had business when other REALTORS® have had none.

Lisa HillHow is it that I'm still successful, in the face of the worst real estate market we've seen in years? Because I didn't get a real estate license just to make a quick buck. This is my career. I've carefully prepared and educated myself with long-term goals in mind. This enables me to represent my clients in the most professional and advantageous manner.

Rather than repeat myself, I'm going to provide links to some of my other posts where I've compiled pertinent real estate information for the Daytona Beach area. Much of this is based on my own personal experience! I've sold all types of real estate in Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea, Holly Hill, Daytona Beach, South Daytona,  Daytona Beach Shores, Wilbur-by-the-Sea, Ponce Inlet, Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater and some outside this area as well. Follow the links below, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs.

Great post, Im sort of glad this market is here so we can weed out those people who joined in to make a quick buck and not a profession. I know who to send my east volusia county referalls too.

you tell them Lisa!  A lot are dropping out here as well.  There's a lady that started at the same time we did that I saw working behind a Starbuck's counter the other day.  It makes you put everything in perspective and makes people realize that finding a good professional is not easy.  May you continue to do well!!

Barbara Jo & Bill- Thanks!

Armando- Thank you!

Ines- We're seeing a lot of that here as well. My husband was returning a shirt in the mall last week and saw someone who used to do quite well, working in Dillards.

Jason- Thanks!
