Lazy Realtors

Wow Realtors in Southern California seemed to have become lazy. It is like they dont want to do any work. Come on people you have some of the highest commissions in the country because of home prices lets put some effort in and sell some houses!! Do some leg work. Know some stuff. Let's go people! Get some additional sales training learn to close, come on do something. It isn't 2006 you can't just do paperwork anymore.

Emily, I could easily say, "Come on investors, get serious, stop low balling with stupid offers, doing horrible rehabs and wanting top dollar for almost no work." I could say that but it would be a gross stereotype.

In my market in SoCal there are plenty of hard-working/smart agents but just like any profession, there are lots of stupid/lazy agents, too. Sounds like you need a new agent. Although I agree with others who said you should get your license and do it full time yourself. Actually, that's how I got into the business because I was unimpressed with agents I met. Since you recognize how bad many agents are, you will probably be very successful.
