Late,
Although We do both agree that we are primates evidently I don’t think I will be going extinct any time soon!
The RE Industry is changing now, with ACCESS to INFORMATION via the INTERNET. Just like every other industry. This is true. However, The INTERNET is more of and aid to me, an agent than a threat to my survival. Don’t underestimate how complicated this job is because you saw so many unsophisticated individuals out pimping houses to thoughtless acentionists in a boom.
You can learn to repair a car bumber to bumper on the net but how many people are going to do it? There is more to it than meets the eye. I will explain more if you want. I recommend you think about getting a license like I have done to others. You might be are the right kind to do your own business but many people aren’t or are not interested in spending the time and they need an honest advocate and an advisor. Most of the time for better or for worse that is a REALTOR in California and will continue to be.
