Successful salespeople are passionate Chapter Four in Getting the Property SOUL’D
The National Association of Realtors statistics show that 85-90% real estate licensees fail. In my thirty plus years in real estate, I have seen hundreds of new bright energetic real estate agents leave the business after a year or two never having “made it”. Then there are the countless others who make it initially, but cannot sustain over the long haul. So what is it about this sales profession that makes it so lucrative for some and disastrous for most?

I got the call from my real estate clients ten days later after they told me that a prospective buyer, had contacted them directly. This Real Estate Buyer had brought in their own real estate agent who showed them the house. The house, which I had worked on for five months, changing it from a tired pumpkin into a shining castle to make it ready to go on the real estate market.
“You still want me to represent you then, right?” I asked, dumbfounded by this new information. “The buyer is being represented by a real estate agent and you should be too, of course.” I added.
