Why Realtors Seem To Be In Such A Sad Mood . . .
April 14th, 2008 . by Jon ModeneIt’s not your house.
And it’s not your fault.
As of today – only 40% of the members of the Toledo Board of Realtors have sold a single home year to date in 2008.
And if you do the math, you will make more money at just about any other job vs. selling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 houses a year in Toledo, at least after you pay your expenses and your taxes.
Realtors that have not changed with the market are now finding that the market has moved on without them.
Many fine and talented agents have simply lost the ability to market and prospect and close in the current real estate market.
And that is sad. Sad for them and sad for me. Many are leaving town. Moving to other jobs. Some are even losing their houses.
If you are a buyer you need an agent who knows how to work for you in this market.
If you are a seller – well, you might be hiring and agent that has not sold a house in 6 months, and therefore the prognosis for selling yours is now poor.
40% with one sale or more.
Sad.
