The Notorious ROB has an excellent post making some comparisons between lawyers and REALTORS. If you have ever had a bad experience with a real estate “professional”, take a few minutes to read his post. You may walk away with a better understanding of why there can be such a huge discrepancy when it comes to the quality of real estate agents.

One quote particularly interests me:

Neither the legal industry nor the real estate industry will change towards a regulated system of limiting the number of people who can claim to be an attorney or a realtor. There’s too much money being made by ambulance chasers on the one hand and the sleazy, know-nothing agents on the other.

But in that environment, an opportunity does exist for the elite firms to separate themselves. (emphasis mine)

I hope that no one reading this has had a bad experience with a REALTOR here at CENTURY 21 Key Realty. If you have, I would like to apologize. I would also like you to know that we strive everyday to separate ourselves from the pack. Yes, it may be a little cheesy, but we would like to be the “Gold Standard” for real estate service in the Dothan area market. That is what we shoot for. We may not always make it, but I can promise you it won’t be from lack of effort.

Regardless, please know this; We do require a higher level of education and training in our office, so anyone you talk with on The Key Team will likely have at least some more real estate know-how than the average agent around town. Every REALTOR here cares about their perception in the marketplace, and I think it shows.

I really didn’t intend for this post to be a commercial for our office. It probably comes across that way, and that is alright. I just wanted you to know that if you have a real estate need in the Dothan area, we are here to help. And I promise will be do the job to the best of our ability.

   Excellent topic Charles– and while I know everyone loves to complain about lawyers, and us, I’d offer another reason into the mix– what we do, in almost every case, there are winners and losers. In real estate, it is the nature of our zero sum negotiation, if my side makes more, the alternate side takes home less. People don’t like to lose, and howl when they do.
   I am not ashamed to say that I want my clients to get the edge in every transaction. I like to win too!
