Indeed. The agents that are around for the free ride ruin the reputation of the profession as a whole. People think “Hey, you can get a real estate license in couple of weeks, how hard can it be?” and then feel agents aren’t worth their keep.

As with stock brokers, the better advice an agent gives, the better service he/she provides, and the greater lengths he/she goes to protect that clients interest, the more money they will make. All agents are not equal, and it’s not a simple pencil pushing task to put together a perfect deal.

Great post and great point!
I have explained to people that there are good real estate professionals and bad ones. Just because someone is a professional does not mean they are any good.
An example would be with the NFL. The worst player on the worst team is considered a professional football player in the NFL.
At the same time, the best player in the league who is the MVP, is still a professional in the same league as the worst player but, there is no comparison in talent between the two even though they are still NFL professionals.
