I am amazed at another byproduct of this current real estate market. In the 3 months that I have been in Kissimmee, I have had agents with little or no production leave to join other real estate offices.
These are not new agents still learning the business or trying to get their footing. These are not even experienced agents who were successful before and only recently fail upon bad times. These are agents who have not been in the office in months or who have not had a listing appointment or a buyer in their car in a year.
These agents most likely understood the writing was on the wall as I am not inclined to keep agents who, do not sell a stick of real estate and equally as important, fail to take advantage of the ongoing training and education offered by Watson Realty.
Some of the local competing real estate brokerage houses evidently do not see it this way. Agents with absolutely no business on the books over the last 12 months or longer are still being actively pursued by the competition. To make matters even stranger, some of these agents are joining offices that have desk fees.
Time will tell if hiring non working, non producing agents is the right path to head down. It has never been the recipe for success in the past.
