As you know, I am a professional Realtor but not just a Realtor by profession. Recently, I was sitting in a meeting where the soon to be 14th largest Mortgage company was going through stats on all the Arizona Realtors. Here's the interesting part...

Out of nearly 70,000 licensed Realtors in Arizona in 2018, over 52,000 of them have never had a single transaction! Don't believe me? Take a look at the numbers below:

• 70,000 Arizona Realtors, 52,000 zero transactions
• 13,000 sold between $0 -$1M in total residential sales
• 5,500 sold between $1M - $2M
• 3,000 sold between $2M - $3M
• 1,800 sold between $3M - $4M
• 1.150 sold between $4M - $5M
• 752 sold between $5M - $6M
• 487 sold between $6M - $7M
• 356 sold between $7M- $8M
• 244 sold between $8M -$9M
  
  

And drum roll... Only 186 Arizona Real Estate Agents sold more than $9M of homes last year!

I had an office manager say to me one time, “Shanna, you shouldn’t feel so bad when you don’t get every listing!” I simply told her that “I don’t feel bad for my sake. I just feel bad because there are so few agents out there that KNOW what they are doing. All the others don’t know the market, don’t know quality lenders, appraisers, inspectors, escrow officers, contractors, etc. They don’t know marketing strategies, negotiation techniques, what to do when markets shift or even what the contract says!"

"That’s why I feel bad, because in a weak moment, these people are choosing an inexperienced or ill-equipped agent to protect in most cases their most important and most expensive asset- their home!"

That’s why over the course of 20 years, I've learned all these skills and put together a team of well qualified agents, marketers and office staff to best serve our clients as professionals with a mission to be known as “The Real Estate Experts by Clients and Colleagues Alike!”
