Homebuyers and sellers in Florida may have fewer Realtors to choose from

Speculation is that as high as 40% of the membership in Central Florida will not be paying their MLS subscription dues this month. This will result in their suspension from the MLS and their exit from the real estate business.

Market conditions over the past 2 years have all but eliminated the easy business that drew so many into real estate sales. In order to be successful and survive in this market, agents have had to use the skills and techniques that will always be the backbone of this or any sales business; excellent communication, marketing and sale skills.

For this reason the real estate buyer or seller, while having fewer Realtors to choose from, should benefit from the fact that the group of agents who remain are most likely the best and brightest.
