Real Estate Industry Crisis

With the booming market of the past few years, an unprecedented number of people obtained real estate licenses. Not long ago, it was said there were so many new licensees that if you were speaking to a randomly selected agent, the odds were better than one in three they would have less than a year's experience. To aggravate matters, many companies foisted these novices on the public and provided training only after they demonstrate a skill in sales.

With recent market conditions, it appears that those who are persisting in the business are the best salespeople but not necessarily the best agents/brokers.

Sadly, when a consumer is done a disservice by an uninformed agent, it reflects upon all of us. Including the professional who sees real estate as a serious business requiring high standards of service, fidelity and ongoing knowledge.

In response to this problem, Donald authored and teaches a Washington State-approved two-part continuing education course entitled Tools of the Trade aimed at increasing professionalism and knowledge in the industry---one classroom at a time.
