Don't Become a Real Estate Agent

Friday, October 21, 2005

Unemployment LineRyan Johnson, a columnist for the Arizona Daily Wildcat, tells college students not to bother seeking a career in real estate.

Considering the State of Arizona has seen the largest gain in the number of licensed agents (18.4) from last year, Johnson is quick to note that the market in the Grand Canyon State is on its way down.

He also goes on to say that consumers are finding fewer reasons to hire an agent, contrary to what the NAR said in its 2005 Public Awareness Campaign...
Besides, homebuyers and sellers are starting to see how little real estate agents do. Other than provide basic information (information that, as real estate agents become more obsolete, will be provided on a consulting basis for much less than it is now), realtors merely fill out forms and occasionally handle basic tasks such as setting up appointments and negotiating.
Johnson also goes to talk about online MLS websites, and folks using Craig's List. Read his full report.
