Let them do what they want with the free competition mumbo jumbo; In RE it comes down to one basic thing and that is "SALES"! It's a sales job and that's what most people don't get. The 90/10 rule that states that 90% of the money is earned by 10% of the realtors AND those are the ones that know how to SELL.
I know lots of good realtors and lots of mediocre ones too; many are good at 9/10th of the job, but it takes 10/10 to make money in commission sales; no ticky no washy. Putting a listing on MLS® is about 0.5/10 of the job; Good luck to them.
Just banged out another record year, no complaints here in my humble little town of 16,000 people
I love what I do, but if I wasn't making money at it, I'd find something else and in a hurry.
As for Legion? C'mon that's the "Law of Attraction" in its most basic format.
PS: Jake, just had a great visit with my daughter and her family, although we didn't go out to NB and cram into her little house, we all went South to Florida and did Disney for 10 days. It was a great visit. Cheers, sounds like RE is going good for you?
