Florida has 221,000 RE Agents as YE 2015 by JM Padron, CCIM, MRICS

Commercial Real Estate Agent with THE JMTEAM NETWORK BK3212919

Florida now has 221,000 real estate sales associates, but the dramatic increase comes at a time when the state also has a short supply of homes for sale, suggesting a robust competition for listings.

This is one agent per each 30 households in Florida, this is each one could do 3 transactions per year, if every agent would share the market proportionally.

There still are many borrowers remain underwater and do not want to sell if they can't break even.

The fact is, an in Especial in our profession, the 20/80 rule applies, this is only approximately 40,000 do all the work, and only a small percentage have high designations as CRS or CCIM. If you are starting in this career or have started recently, please go out there and get the education and preparation you need, so you can become one of the 29%. Remember the rule Padron said, Learning is Earning!

I can't argue the total number but the last paragraph which adds "designations" into the the mix may confuse some associates. How many of these licensees have REALTOR designation?

Great advice to newer agents JM, many of these licenses will be out of the business within 17 months or less of their real estate career.

Kevin,

Learning is Earning , if you check the statistics of agents who hold the CRS for residential and CCIM for Commercial, they make the highest GC Income.

And for clarification both designations are endorsed by NAR.
