Is This A Good Time To Be In Real Estate?

Is this the right time to have a career in real estate? This is a question you are probably asking yourself right now. For the first time in 10 years, the National Association of Realtors reported a net loss in real estate agents in 2007. Bad news? Not if you know which company to work with.

Keller Williams Realty is the only company out of the top five largest real estate brokerages in the country to see a net GAIN in real estate agents. Why is this? We teach our agents how to survive in a shifting market. Our training and education are second to none and it shows.

You're right Brent, you must choose wisely when looking for a company. Otherwise now is a good time to be in real estate: Less competition with other agents.
