WHY THIS IS THE TIME TO GET INTO THE REAL ESTATE MARKET?

I know with all the economic downturns and upheaval that many people have a negative feeling about the Real Estate Market. Indeed, in the past two years many agents have fled the industry or simply quit working very hard. However, I can honestly say they quit too soon.

Signs are good for a steady recovery in the market. 2010 performed a lot better than 2009 or 2008. Most of the agents in my office did decent in 2010. We sold homes in all price ranges, particularly the modest to middle ranges. I want to say it was a banner year, but positive strides occurred.

If you have ever considered a career in real estate, now is as good a time as any to make the move. There are many reasons to start now. Reason #1, the number of real estate agents in our area is at an all time low. So, opportunities await if you are ambitious and dedicated. The second reason is that buyers are starting to come out and buy. Interest is still low and it is still a buyer's market, so those realtors who work can make significant sales.

My company, ERA Home Towne Realty and Auction, offers the prospective realtor many reasons to come on board. We offer a reimbursement program for going to Real Estate School. We mentor and work with all our new agents, so that they have an opportunity to succeed. We offer a very competitive pay-scale. An agent at ERA Home Towne Realty and Auction can make money several different ways, including both Real Estate and Auctioning.
