Many real estate agents are deciding not to renew their licenses and going back to a 'real job'. The current market conditions thin the ranks of real estate agents and as with any crisis, the strong will prosper. As the song goes: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".
With so many amateurs and part-timers leaving, there is a lot of market share to be picked up if you are smart about it. If you survive this crisis and keep trudging on, you might find yourself as one of the biggest agents in town by the time the market gets better. But succeeding in this kind of economy and these market conditions call for a clear vision and the ability to focus on what's profitable right now.
Basically, as a real estate agent in the current market, you have a few options. One of them is to quit. Of you haven't been serious about the business and haven't been making money in the good times, quit. If you were not making money before, you are not going to make it now. If you are serious about this business however, it's time to focus on niches in your marketing. Find out what niches you can serve in today's economy. There are always profitable areas.
Marketing is always the most important skill for an entrepreneur and especially in a crisis. Now is the time to work on your marketing skills and scoop up some market share that's available because your competition is quitting left and right.
With so many agents leaving the field, you can scoop up all the market share that they left and lead the field.
