(Since February is supposedly an especially bad month for Realtor membership, the membership probably won't drop by that much in 1 year.)

It encourages the brokers to bring in the big numbers of agents so hopefully one of them will sell something. What does it cost the broker - hardly anything, they even charge desk fees for the non producers. The public suffers because of all the incompetence and the greedy agents chasing the commissions and bonuses instead of looking out for the consumer.<BR/><BR/>Look at the trouble with the sub prime loans made, all of these buyers who should not have been buying artifically created a huge sellers market and price rises through the roof. Agents chasing big commissions put these unqualified buyers into homes they cannot afford. And this is ethical??<BR/><BR/>The public is wising up and I predict the landscape for agents will look much differently in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-42347277994049918562007-03-09T10:55:00.000-05:002007-03-09T10:55:00.000-05:00The point is that 1.58% IS a "helluva lot" compare...The point is that 1.58% IS a "helluva lot" compared to membership fluctuation in prior February's, and that graph IS the appropriate scale to show the change.
