Here agent agent agent!!!
ByI have observed a fascinating phenomenon over the last few weeks. As the market has slowed it has really begun to sort out the serious agents from those who got into property because they were at a loose end.
I have never seen so many agents vanish almost overnight. In addition many of the “husband and wife” teams are suddenly solo acts as the partner goes and gets a real job.
One of my mates in the industry said their office had 2 new listings last month, last year they had 35.
I guess it goes to prove my oft mentioned point that being a real estate agent is hard work. No listings no pay, but the costs keep on going.
It will be interesting to see if we end up with a shortage of agents as the market recovers.
Anyway thought for the day. As you and I are out hunting bargains understand that many of the agents you are dealing with will be in difficult financial positions so……
1. Be nice to them, they are stressed and
2. You will never have a better time to practise being assertive and getting your offers presented!
