Do Real Estate Agents Really Want To Make Money?

October 16, 2008

This may seem like a real DUH! moment, but seriously, have you seen or read what is going on in the so-called Re.net? I mean every where I look I am seeing a post about everything EXCEPT making money in real estate.

Today I went to some of the blogs that are considered preeminent in the industry and after suffering through page after page of mindless drivel there was nothing I could take away from ANY of the posts that would allow me to implement in my business today that could have me on the road to making money.

I have begun to think that making money is no longer an objective for many real estate agents. Maybe with the government getting into our business lives it is to be expected that some would adjust comfortably into a Socialist atmosphere.

However, I can't lose hope on all of humanity and I can't lose hope in the real estate business that we as professionals in this sector have become over populated by agents who really don't have the premise of earning a profit as a clear business objective.

Twitter this, and Zillow that, and Homegain and the other thing...whatever....are there any real estate agents left out there that still regard being in business to actually make a profit as being the primary reason for being in business?

One of the reasons we have been somewhat dormant over here at Real Estate Radio is because we have been taking some time and networking with some people in the real estate industry who are absolutely making a killing! I am talking about some people who are making five to six figures per month with little effort. I am speaking with some serious movers and shakers and wondering, where do so many real estate agents go wrong?

Is it the vortex sucking social blogs that get so many writing about nothing that's got so many trapped? Are the "big dogs" and geniuses of the Re.net nothing more than country clubs for the similar thinking? I really don't know. But what I do know is that we have been talking to some real money making killers out here in the field away from the blogs and it has really got me wondering...Do real estate agents really want to make some serious money?

Love to hear what you think. We're going to follow this up with some profiles of some in the real estate industry who are actually making some fat cash and you'll see what they have to say and what they're doing.

It's possible that you might learn some things and one thing I know...when you're done listening to these guys, you'll be able to actually do some of what they say and have the opportunity to make some cash that same day!

We know some will be skeptical. Don't worry, there's always the usual suspects for you to seek out that familiar, yet dampened shoulder to cry on, but if you want to actually wake up in the morning with a purpose and would like to see cash in hand by the end of the day, then you may want to read and watch our follow up segments.

I mean, that is...if you actually want to make any money.
