I feel like I just recently posted that there was one agent for every 75 people in California. I even put it into my presentations.
"At one time there was an agent on every corner with a website, now there is an agent on every other driveway with three websites or more!".
Well, time to pull out the metaphor book again.
It seems that there is now 495,000 licensed agents in Cali. The state now boasts a licensed agent for every 52 adults, the California Department of Real Estate reported.
"The level of interest in real estate licensure is unprecedented," said Jeff Davi, the department's commissioner, in a statement.
Amen! I went to fill up my tank with gas, and I was accosted by a real estate agent!
I guess he looked at my car and thought I was a prospect -- and I was a captive audience. I was filling up in self serve, and he was trying to shove his card in my hand and sell me on his uncanny ability to get listings and sell homes.
I was filling up my tank: why would I care? Talk about interruption marketing!
Now that's lousy salesmanship! He came across as a desperate psycho, instead of a polished professional.
