Real Estate Industry News
Getting Back to Work in Real Estate
Wednesday, 16, June 2010
I've called out real estate agents in this space in the past, asking them, in effect, when they thought they might start learning to sell real estate again.My comments were motivated in part by observing an industry that seems to be waiting around for the government to give would-be homeowners another good enough reason to buy. Our motivation, in short, should not hinder on answers to questions such as, "Will the tax credit be extended?"
While I think that selling real estate is the job of the real estate agent and what they do to earn their commission, I also realize that it's no easy job, not in this market. I don't think mortgage lenders are doing anything to make it any easier.If you read the news as often as I do, you've probably noticed the same trend. Many of the stories I see in the mainstream media—and all of those that deal with the federal government's approach to the economy—seem to be offering readers a view into when the government might step in and make their lives easier.
