Selling real estate isn't for all. Not for me either. Commercial is a different story - if you're good and hustle and don't waste time posting shit on the net. I showed a condo in N. Beach today. So was it the best use of my time. Don't know. I can look at it as I met a real nice couple that I spent around 3 or 4 hours with in AP then Long Branch. Will they buy? If they do, time well spent, if not it sucks - for now. Would I be doing this had my wife not gone back to work with a pretty good salary and I shifted paying my own bennies as self employed at $1200 per month to her at around $900/month? There will be a big shakeout in the in the field. Why? How many homeowners and banks will eventually shift from using real estate agents and commissons will continue to be reduced. Why? The Internet. Realtor.com may have millons and millons of visitors but so do other sites. The various listing services are all there...more and more advanced services will be there and you just might be able to sell your home on your own if set at a fair market price. Takes time and patience - so therefore you find a real estate agent. There's no science to it. One Real estate agent said you don't make money in real estate SELLING houses, you make money listing them. Sign here, see ya later let some one else sell. YOu can take more listings quicker then hauling someone around and wondering why a door doesn't close right ot whether or not the paint in the bathroom is the right color... time management and a second or third source of income helps. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
