Why are agents so scared of the market!!!

Hide, never!!

 My partner and I have taken this time to pad our listing inventory and press forward.  No matter how you slice it that $12 and hour job still does not look good.  We have a positive attitude and continue to look for people who need and want to sell or buy.

The first step is in getting agents to believe in themselves before they belive in the market. An agent who has no self belief will fail nor matter what market.

Personally I think most real estate agents are poor at networking.  The reason I say this is because I've never been approached by an agent, nor have any of my colleagues.  I know agents are contacted all the time by mortgage agents, but for some reason real estate agents think that their immune from referral partnerships, or only look at it as a one way street.

There are so many sources of business that real estate agents should be harvesting, but very few ever do.  I'm not sure if it's the fault of the "traditional" broker who just pushes them to go after FSBO's, or if their is an actual arrogance among some agents that makes them feel above everyone else in our industry.

Bottom line, if I was a real estate agent, I'd be doing exactly what the mortgage guy's are doing right now.  I would also consider speaking to insurance agents, financial planners and others who work with high end asset rich clients.  Who do you think can afford homes right now?  

Now also would be a great time to help future retiree's plan their conversion from a higher end home to a smaller but more practical home. But that means you either have to fully understand retirement planning or find someone that does.
