Most realtors work harder and longer hours than most full time employee. For the bulk of us Realtors its a long hard slog to get to the point of closing a sale and actually getting paid. So please spare us your venom and ill wishes. We are all just trying to make a living and pay our rent just as you are. The vast majority of realtors are squeaking by at best these days.

An experienced Realtor (who's been through ups and downs in the market) is an invaluable guide when you're buying or selling a home. An inexperienced one has to pay some dues and learn a lot besides just what's in the course.REW.cahttp://www.rew.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-41254294755829670862012-10-24T08:03:26.569-07:002012-10-24T08:03:26.569-07:00People come and go ...just like any "seasonal...People come and go ...just like any "seasonal work force".

Does any real buyer see less than 10 homes before making a decision? Oh wait I forgot this is the BPOE where any home is like a paradise.another value investorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659083327214275843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-18532844190129390682012-10-19T02:39:12.953-07:002012-10-19T02:39:12.953-07:00I anticipate we could see quite a number of the ou...I anticipate we could see quite a number of the outfits merge over time to combine resources and lower costs as smaller firms just close up shop and disappear.

You have brokers, lawyers, notaries, furniture stores, appliance stores, too many realty firms, and so much more trickle down like the article says.<br /><br />Car leases<br /><br />Restaurants, coffee shops, and numerous services from business cards to flowers.<br /><br />Next stop will be real estate firms closing due to lack of realtors. I already see loads of ads from these firms trying to get people to take the RE course and work for them, which amounts to paying their rent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-45887622032515499602012-10-18T19:12:55.610-07:002012-10-18T19:12:55.610-07:00Now that the easy money Real Estate "gold rus...Now that the easy money Real Estate "gold rush" has ended, these people will have to find real jobs where they actually have to think and labour to earn their salaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
