Thanks, Joseph, for your comments. I’m glad to see other real estate agents supporting the idea of requiring more education to sell homes.

This is so true. Right on the button. I think there has to be more than just one simple exam. I have had my license for over 17 years now and I have seen and dealt with these unexperienced guys that are just trying out something new. It really drives me crazy.

Hi, Cindy:

Thanks for your comment. I’ve worked with a few real estate agents — and I’ve interviewed many, many more — and the vast majority of them are talented, smart and driven. They know their stuff. But, as in any business, there are some agents who don’t really know what they are doing. One good thing about this down real estate market is that a lot of these unskilled agents are being driven out of the business. It’s getting too hard, especially if you’re not good at what you do.

I completely agree! Before working as a full time stager, I was a real estate agent. I had no idea what I was doing nor I was comfortable with handling someone’s investment without knowing exactly what I am doing. Every transaction is a life changing experience for our clients, they are moving on and up with their lives by getting equity out of their initial investment. It’s only fair they get the best services and advices in doing their selling or buying.

Cheers,
Cindy
