Realtors
Just a quick note on realtors in general.
Having been in real estate now for some thirty + years, my observations about the business should carry some weight. Realtors, like all other professions, fall into several categories. Therefore buyers and sellers of realty need to be aware of just what kind of realtors they're thinking of hiring!
First there's the tired-of-staying-at-home mom. Their husbands make enough money for homes and cars and private schools; but they aren't happy. And because they have a flair for decorating, they become realtors.....mainly because they like to look at homes! This group probably constitutes the highest percentage group in the business.
Then, secondly, (and probably the next highest percentage) there is the I-like-to-meet-new-people person. These are what psychologists call "amicable personalities". They're friendly, and they enjoy the social intercourse that the flow of new customers provides.
Third, (and I mean no disrespect) is what might be called post-office-rejects. The thinking being that if even the post office doesn't want you, what can you do? So they get a realtors license! And, of course, they struggle with that too!
Then, lastly, the smallest percentage consists of men and women who wish to practice a distinguished profession with a high degree of ethics, professionalism and class. And they do so for the purpose of serving customers. And for that service they are well paid.
In which group does your realtor fall?
