A year or 2 from now, the headline will be “As housing soars, people flock to Realty as a profession”
Wait?! You mean this is cyclical and not the demise of America!??
It seems to me that when times are tough in real estate that this would be a good time to get into the business. After all, if you can make a living in this environment, when times are good again, you could make tons of money.
Nobody learns much during good times. It’s the hard times that offers the lessons.
Here endeth the lesson. :)
“A year or 2 from now, the headline will be ‘As housing soars, people flock to Realty as a profession’”
Only a year or 2? Not according to past trends.
Make that 5 years from now. This is going to be long and bloody. Realtors are going to have to find an honest living.
lol...You're probably right. Fact is we've been hearing the reports for several years now that this country will grow by tens of millions in the next decade. There too many people now, and most of them don't own homes.
I don’t think housing prices will soar, I think they were artificially high. I think people were foolish to put up with the outrageous prices in the first place. People have to learn to think for themselves, and realize what they are capable of affording, after all, who would purposefully put themselves in a situation where they couldn’t afford a home and risk losing it. People lose cars foolishly, but a home? People need to think and realize that is not even an option.
You know it.
