New Agents in Berks County Worth a Try

I heard a startling statistic several weeks ago. Of the thousands of agents who belong to a huge multiple listing service, 50% of them had 1 or less real estate transactions for the year in 2009.

That is pretty disconcerting for consumers – how do they know the agent they choose is any good? Has any experience? Will be around by the time their transaction goes to settlement? Valid concerns all.

What I want to address today, though, is brand new agents coming into this market with no experience at all. New agents are great for consumers – if they have the proper backing from their company and the proper support from experienced administrators within the company.

When you work with a new agent you get the benefit of that person having the newest ideas in education and marketing, the best grasp on technology and how it can benefit the consumer, and unbridled enthusiasm. Furthermore, new agents have the time to devote to you to give you the service you need in this market place.

We love when new agents join our company, whether experienced or brand new, because of the energy they bring, the ideas they have, and the depth they add to our current staff because of what they might have done professionally or as volunteers in the civic environment prior to their involvement in the real estate industry.

Give new agents a chance! If you have any concerns, ask them to team up with an experienced professional in their company, but don’t dismiss them. It could be the beginning of the best professional relationship you ever have
