There is a rule that says 20% of the Realtors do 80% of the business. Apparently this is called the Pareto Principle (it’s amazing what I learn by blogging).
With that in mind, I ran some quick MLS numbers:
290 Realtors have had more than 5 “sides” – either a listing or buying transaction since 1 January of this year. This is approximately 25% of the Realtor population in the CharlAlbemarle area. 475 had at least one and less than five sides.
34% of Realtors in CharlAlbemarle have not had one closed transaction all year.
This profession is not just easy money. 🙂
*Conclusions based on data from the CAAR MLS.
