There are a lot of agents in this slow market that are filling up their tanks with gas and driving all over Georgia with their prospects praying that they will sell something.

We did some rough calculations earlier from data acquired via FMLS and figured that Big Canoe resales are down roughly 40% in 2007 vs 2006.  Not surprisingly, there does seem to be a basic bell curve of agents and their respective sales.  Some are doing better this year, some much worse than 2006...

I am curious if other agents are seeing any differences in activity for their particular market in relation to season.  When IBA Realty Group first started listing and selling Big Canoe real estate, we were told by established agents to expect a big slow-down once the leaves dropped from the tree...
