Right now it's an easier time, and some agents are living on a dream cloud. However, if you do make a career out of this, you get to see all the variance involved. Kind of like what the oil guys are experiencing right now.
I don't know why any realtor would say that it's easy and shit sells by it self. Of course some of it does, but that doesn't take away from the need of a good agent to achieve your goals. It pays it self.
That being said, it is much more important to get a great agent when you're purchasing property, as opposed to selling it.
The way Drow phrases it makes it seem like any dude can go out there make a few quick bucks. That is far from the truth. Those guys getting those great listings worked their asses off for years to get to where they are now. Those who are lucky to make a few quick bucks, likely wont last long in the industry. Loads of agents go busto real quick.
The agents who get the real good listings usually give a pretty generous cut on commission. Once they pay their fees, taxes, and expenses, you would honestly be really surprised with their net profit.
