Today – an Ohio farmer can get 200 bushels an acre.

The revolution in agronomics and farming science and genetics and farming technology has changed the lives of every Ohioan.   A majority of Buckeye residents used to work . . . “on the farm”.  Not any more.

When I consider the same changes that have taken place in real estate – the impact of computers, the Internet, automobiles, cell phones, etc. I have to wonder why there has been no corresponding change in employment in the real estate sector.

One reason is the dominance of the Real Estate Hobbyist.

The average agent?   Today?   In Perrysburg?  Not returning calls.  Not answering their phone.  Not in the field working.  Not on top of their game.

Why?

Because they are at their “other job”.   Their “real job”.  And when you are working that job – your crop of real estate sales tends to suffer!

Because when you only sell 2 or 3 or 4 houses a year, you need another job.

Consumers want and demand great results and great service today.  But they often do not know how to tell the difference between a hobby farmer and a full time farmer.  Not until it’s too late.  Not until their crop comes in.

Should the State of Ohio shut down the hobby farmer?

No.

Should the rules change to put them out of business?

No.

This is America.   Everyone has the right to work anyway they want.

I just love to provide the best results for my clients – they seem to appreciate what I have to sell.  After 19 years, I know what it takes to deliver results.  And this market is the toughest market I have ever seen.   I know that my clients need careful attention and special protection in this market.
