I know only Brazil and the real estate profession it's been always a buyers market. To the extent that it's been always a regulated and protected profession. They say it's regulated to protect buyers and sellers of property but I suspect they want to protect their profession raising a barrier of entry. Most real estate people I came across here are not exaclty the most professional or ethical people. The market, 2006 here will heat up because it will get an injection of funds to finance homes. There will be more people buying and selling. The agents will get more busy and will juggle more deals and it doesn't follow that there will be a need to more of their kind. That because it may last a year or so. In the past 10 years, the big realtors. Expanded by selling franchises of their agencies. The guys who were good bought franchises and handle it as a family business.
