How times have changed! Very few people are taking the Florida state exam for a realtor's license & as a result, my broker has instituted a program to reward agents that help recruit experienced realtors from other brokerages. New blood is critical to the business; brokerages are scrambling to remain competitive.
From an agent's point of view, however, it's a tad easier not having SO many agents in the business. True, competition remains keen but at least now, not everyone has a friend, brother, cousin, etc. in the business. There will very likely be further agent attrition in the months ahead; I believe, however, that as soon as the market shows signs of life, people will, once again, be drawn to the realty field. Why? Because many folks still think the realty profession is easy money.
