RE:"Theres a job in tech which is just like being a RE agent (marcom) and tons of people wanted to go into that during the bubble... an easy fluff job that pays 80-90K and if you pick the right company you might get rich. Now there are too many of them and they have to go back to reality, similar to RE imo. Of course I am talking SV which is a unique situation and maybe not applicable to your region, I understand. In a buyers market, a 20K reduction in price is more compelling than having the right agent sell your property... most I know believe that" Right again. In a buyers market it makes even more difference. And yes, our RE schools are loaded with people wanting to get into the biz...always seems to happen that way.

Everybody and his/her brother and sister have always gone into real estate at one time or another---it's an overcrowded field all the time. Only the good ones survive for long though. Our local Realtor association lost many members during the last downturn. But tons of others just came right along behind them. And you are absolutely right---a home priced correctly sells itself. Just tell that to the sellers, though, and you'll see why real estate is such an exciting challenge. <g>
