More or Less?

Hello Doug - I have long heard, that real estate agents don't retire, they simply expire.  With that thought in mind, it appears looking at the shelf life of the profession may require some additional adjustment.  

Hi Doug... I wonder how Axios came up with that full-time number. I suspect it's a bit low. As for commissions dropping, I've seen other analyses that show otherwise and so far I haven't seen much of a trend to dropping.

Good morning Doug,

I read that article from Axios and do believe there will be some agents who just don't want to learn how to navigate the new normal. I see knowledgeable and respected agents more in demand and not sure I see the lowering of compensations. Time will tell!

Doug, there will always be slackers in any career, and they either will need to step up, or get out of our way!

It sure will be entertaining, with great information. Thanks for sharing it.

Have a super fantastic week!

Doug Dawes hi Doug... it seems that if you read five articles on this you'll get five different opinions. In my own data base, I can tell buyers think it's nuts what they have to go through to find a home now.

Hi Doug- who knows what will happen!   I remember back in 2008, I met agents leaving the market and surprisingly, I met people entering the field in a down market!

As with all big changes in real estate, I always hope that it will weed out a lot of the agents that don't do a good job, but it never seems to do that, haha.
