Are there any other Realtors here?

May I know why you're asking this? Do you need a realtor? Or Are you a realtor?

Hello! I am a Realtor in the Miami area. Licensed since 2001. I am also a licensed Mortgage Broker, so when I don't make money selling houses, I make money thru the mortgage route. The market here has slowed down a lot, a lot of Realtors have quit because they are not making ends meet. Prices have leveled a lot, and there is a HUGE supply. According to many developers, even before the building is done, they have contract holders defaulting in their contracts, also, foreclosures are going up the roof! I like the residential market. Although everything has slowed down, I am confident that in the long run we will do o.k.!

Real Estate is a Career that in this day and age, a person could really not go wrong at. I at one time wanted to pursue this direction myself. The only problem is you have to have a Car, etc. and since I do not drive, this is something I could have never done. But if you are not afraid to talk to people, and show houses, etc. it is a Great firend to be in. Wishing you the best since you are in this field.

I am a realtor in FL and have been for 2 years. I specialize in Residential Sales...and the market ...ha ! It's slowly moving.

Yes! I've had my license for over 5 years, but I haven't been very active. I am considering putting my license on inactive status. I haven't sold in a while and just can't afford the Realtor Association fees right now. I was focusing on Residential. The market her in Miami has slowed way down. Listing inventory is high but turnaround is slow. They can't seem to sell the homes. The prices skyrotted for a few years and now people can't afford the asking prices. Also, property taxes are high and so is homeowners insurance. This is all affecting what people can afford. Many long time residents are picking up and moving North to the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee, where the cost of living is lower.

I am realtor in NJ. I've been doing it about a year. Of course I got into it once the real estate boom in NJ was over and lots of money was already made. I specialize in single family houses. Right now NJ is a buyer's market so I've been working with lots of buyers but have a few of my own listings too that really haven't been moving too much.

I was licensed April 13, 1992, here in Ontario, Canada. I do mostly residential resale and some new home sales, but I have also done leases, both residential and commercial. I am currently working with a builder, looking after both the marketing and sales of 18 homes in an infill project. The market in the Greater Toronto Area is very active. The slight increase in the mortgage rate affected the market a little, but demand is still high (new condo construction/sales currently a booming market). Multiple offers, especially in some extremely desirable areas in downtown and midtown Toronto, have been more the norm than the exception! When I am acting as buyer's agent. I hate that scenario, because people end up doing stupid things like waiving conditions they shouldn't be waiving. Anyway...if you PM me maybe we could do cross-referrals. Good luck! :-D

I just found this discussion. I am a new real estate agent in New York. I came into this at a time when the market is really bad so I'm working twice as hard to get listings and buyers. I'm going to keep trying and I'm giving myself a year to try to make a go of it, otherwise, I'll have to get a job just to pay my dues.
