What are they going to do for food?
We raid the refridgerators and pantries of the houses we show.I don’t even take clients because,as you know I am morally against selling to the last GF. That said the free food is better in La jolla.A nice seaside view lunch does wonders for the moral.
“But Prudential kept hiring them. Someone told me that there were 400 agents in Prudential La Jolla alone.”
Prudential hires people because they make money off of the realtor’s. They pay a pittance of the commission to the new hires for the first 5 sales(or something like that).
The broker is hoping that the newbies circle of influence is fairly large and that they can cherry pick it.
If people knew the system the brand names use they would overcome the surprise at finding a lack of expertise and intergrity in the ranks of agents.
BTW: I am not a very good agent by your standards(so that you know I am not pretending).I am not complaining. What you and others on this blog post are good reminders of what people expect from an agent.
