Being an active, licensed, real estate agent in Florida was kinda fun long ago and in a landscape that is now far away from today's environment. It used to be that agents graded out to higher scores in the public's perspective, than say politicans, lawyers, and car salesman(woman) Using a new poll conducted by the California Association of Realtors from 2004-2009, consumers responded favorably by 79% to the question, "Yes, I would use the same agent" in 2004, to a dismal 22% in 2009. Why? Have we suddenly lost favor because we "make the big bucks" No!!! Most of the respondents thought their house took too long to sell or did not get the price they wanted. Well boys, girls, and others, in case you are tunning in late, the sky has fallen ,and with Wall Street buying up so many risky real estate investments, unemployment at or above 10% (about 14% in Lee County), myriads of bank failures, and individuals greed, stupidity or naivete, it is suprising more real estate agents don't have some sort of new complex (we have many anyhow). The chance to build up our image for relying again on a professional to handle many folks biggest investment is now on the horizon. This is your big day baby, "Won't you smile for the camera", www.lyricsdepot.com/steely-dan/peg.html could mean new acceptance from the public on our value and services.
