A PROFESSIONAL'S MARKET
Recently, a local businessman was asked about our Real Estate Market. He responded, "The Local Market has become, A Professional's Market". He went on to say that when the market changes the true professional's in the market change with it. Agents who treat their Sales Careers as a hobby will be out of business because they have only survived due to the unusually high activity in the market over the past couple of years.
The Professional's in our Market don't see anything negative about our current market. In fact they see opportunities because of change and they embrace it. The Professionals understand the fundamentals of their profession which requires them to get back to business as usual... and create their own opportunities through daily prospecting. I prospect for 2 - 3 hours a day consistently to generate the business for my sellers that will cause their home to sell.
The Dictionary defines a Professional as: (1) A person who practices an occupation involving high standards of intellectual knowledge after successfully completing the required education and training. (2) Being paid to do an activity as the significant portion of one’s income. (3) Applied to describe a person (or work of such a person) with the following attributes: service orientation, making expertise available to others, based on a distinctive body of knowledge and skills underpinned by abilities and values, autonomy in performing working within defined boundaries.
As you can see from this definition there are very few Real Estate Professionals in our industry. Most don't attend advanced training beyond licensing. Most don't derive the majority of their income from Real Estate Sales but rather as a side job. Most are not service oriented based on ethics and values but rather limit their services in attempt to get something for nothing. Most are not self starters who can can work independently, setting and achieving goals without a supervisor monitoring their daily activities.

I am excited for this market, and enjoy PROFESSIONALLY servicing my clients.
