In 2003 I performed a search to see how many actively licensed real estate agents there were in the 33156 area, this is primarily Pinecrest Florida. There were fourteen pages of just names and license numbers. A few months ago I ran the same search and came up with six pages of names and license numbers. What does this mean? Well, I’m sure that some have retired and some have moved away, but pretty much this means that those folks who entered this field for the wrong reasons are gone. They are back doing what they used to do.
If you’re going to be working with a REALTOR, as a Buyer or a Seller, the minimum you should ask an agent is; how many consecutive years have you been a full time real estate agent and how many National Association of REALTOR (NAR) recognized designations (not company designations or certificates) do you hold?
Real estate school mainly teaches you how to pass the state exam. I think that getting a real estate license is a very easy thing to do. But, to be a good real estate agent - that takes time and experience! In my opinion, one needs at least three years of being a full time real estate agent to really understand the business.
REALTORS who have NAR designations are educated professionals who have studied and invested their time and money to earn their designations. They are truly dedicated professionals who value education and the higher standard of service they provide their clients.
So once you have found an agent that meets these two criteria’s – listen!
