Real Estate Agents in “Foreclosure”

February 22, 2008

Someone had to say it… and my man Seth Godin has a mouthful for real estate agents nationwide. His latest blog as of this post is titled, Advice for real estate agents (quit now)

OUCH.

If you are in business and interested in marketing and great idea generation give his blog a read. Seth has words worth repeating and books worth sharing. I was introduced to his work about 9 months ago and have since gone back to read his books, ebooks and posts from 1999 forward. I am a card holding SethGdevotee. RSS his blog Here.

Seth’s Big Bald Head

Turns out, Seth was a bit behind the curve in San Diego for his real estate agent blog post. Many agents preceded his advice to quit. According to a manager at Prudential California Realty who is on the board at SDAR, the local San Diego Board of Realtors, over 30% of agents in our local San Diego market have not renewed their yearly dues. This means no lookey lookey for homes on the MLS for thousands of San Diego agents. In our office alone we’ve lost at least that percentage of agents and office meetings have dwindled in numbers.
