Just found a neat little section of the statistical summary in our MLS database.
There are approximately 1100 Realtors in our Board. 612 closed at least one listing in 2004.
Only 261 closed at least 5! Wouldn’t you be better off having a full-time Realtor (archived: 2026) represent your best interests?
On the Buyer’s Representation side, 701 members had at least one closed transaction. and a mere 320 had at least 5 buyer-side Closings.
The old saying that 20% do 80% of the work is almost statistically accurate. For the record, my mom. Betty Duncan and I (archived: 2023)are in the top 7% of all Realtors in our marketplace. Not too bad!
