Lori: I think the reason that half of the licensed Realtors have not sold a home this year is because so many people get their Real Estate License and only do it part time. And many think that it will be so easy to sell home! I know a husband and wife who recently both became licensed and are wondering why no one is calling them! (They have no website, and do no marketing either).
All I can say is WOW>....and who wants to work with the part time agent who never is available to answer calls? i sure don't!
Lori,
Stats can be sad these days. Charlotte's association has a lot of agents and there is no way even half have had closings last month. We all need to support each other and work smarter in these difficult times. As for part time agents...not sure what to say. I just want to deal with professional and responsive agents that do their job. Those are just the requirements of the job.
I felt sick when I read the statisitcs on realtors. I do hope those are the part timers.
