BRAVO. Regardless of the market, that statement will ALWAYS be true. I think that the finger pointers are just using the market as a crutch and an excuse for why they personally just suck. “You fail or succeed on your own merits.”

Intergalactic Proton Powered Electrical Tenticle Advertising Droids! The age of money falling off the trees for anyone willing to sit through a one week crash course in real estate is over. The "mom and pop" homegrown way of doing business is over. "There has never been a better time to buy a home!" is over. NAR should look into hiring a new scriber with something more to the tune of "There has never been a better time to buy a home utilizing the services of a qualified and educated professional. You will have to do more than accept the Realtor® designation as a sign of this level of skill and education because we give it to anyone who gives us money." It hasn't happened yet but we are in for a big shift and I can't wait to see the industry morph to a point where the MAJORITY of real estate agents are actual professionals. What a day that will be... Oh NAR, why do you bother?

The “mom and pop” homegrown way of doing business is over.

“There has never been a better time to buy a home!” is over.
