"Today I have to be a photographer, and have a moderately expensive camera to show off my listings well. My job is to also be a marketing expert.

Well, we really got off message here but that is all good..........it is good to vent, especially when you have no other place to do it!

Just want to acknowledge JR for putting everything down point by point regarding what we do as RE agents/brokers. Well put, JR! Nobody points it out and those agents who don't do it ALL, and then some, are really at the bottom of the heap in terms of success at real estate. These are the things that make or break us in today's market and these are the things that take up every waking hour of the day if you are a serious agent.

I really resent the attitude that has come up here time and time again about how "we are nothing special" or that we as real estate agents are not worth a certain percentage of commission on a sale!

How dare you!!!

STOP DENEGRATING OUR PROFESSION!!! This is the reason we are spoken of so negatively by the public! Don't you get it???? - Thu Nov 12 2009, 04:12
