Results come from the ability of the real estate agent to communicate meaningful information. How often do we find incorrect information on an MLS listing? Of course, it will vary by local board. Yes, there are real estate agents that transact more than I do, but the quality of their work sometimes really lacks quality. I have experienced situations where an agent did not read the sales contract and ended up purchasing a spa, due to a lack of attentiveness to both documentation supplied to both myself and my client. The agent was more experienced than myself and his results are superior to mine. Experience does not always yield results.

They expect experience but it is there job to find the right person to offer both. In today's market results may be the driving force but experience may get it done quicker. People want results.

Working part time I'm sorry doesn't mean you don't do your best while your there but we all know real estate is 24/7 and say you are a realtor from 9-2 and lawyer 2-7. It's the day before closing and they contact you at 3:00 needing items and your not there and closing is at 9:00 am. I want the realtor that is available to handle calls and get it done. It not the ability to do it it's the time to do it. Same way if I'm in jail I want the lawyer who is there to represent me when I need it and my court case was at 10:00. Not saying you can't have two jobs but if you were choosing might not be a first person choice. Were an instant society and we want telephone calls and emails answered right away. I just see a time conflict. Just my thought! Results are good experience and results the winning combo and thats what people look for.

There are however, new websites that need to push their Internet rating system. JMHO. It seems to me that finding a good experienced agent is not a new topic.

I work just as hard at both jobs. I don't over extend myself with taking on clients I can't give the best service. My first job is in the legal profession, I take writing contracts very seriously and the is my specialty. I may not be available to ride around in the caravan on Tuesdays, but there are other ways to be on top of your market--- reading and keeping up with new listings in my farm area, etc. I may have less work than a full time agent, but at the end of the day I perform my job as a realtor with high integrity and excellent customer service. The realtor field is the only field where I have experienced such harsh treatment of dual career agents. In the the legal field, a part time attorney gets the same respect as a full timer. Plus, it would never be questioned if the part time attorney was up to date on his/her specific area of law. As for Agent Rate, I don't agree that sales should be considered. However, experience and past client evaluation are a must. WRONG, REWeb Designer & Mr. Ferrara– I am a dual career, not a part-timer. I work just as hard at both jobs.

I would want to know who are the part-timers. True Mack, folks can always fudge the numbers but when things are written down, they think twice about how much fudge to apply. Maybe it's just me, but I always ask about a person's experience. Yes, RE Web Designer, good point. I would want to know who are the part-timers.

This is the difference in a part time and full time agent. A full time agent is on top of the local market and availability and comps and a part time is not due to absence. Results come from being actively involved in a day to day basis. People want results and are pleased when experience accompanys it. This is the difference in a part time and full time agent.
