The quote listed below is one I have used in my marketing materials for several years, so today when I ran across this news article on MSN from US News and World Report I just had to share. It is true. Not all real estate professionals are equal. Read the article and let me know what you think.
I began my real estate career in 1994. I soon found out that I loved selling real estate and that I was really good at it! Lots of people sell real estate, but not everyone is good at it. I bring to my clients the commitment to work hard and have fun.

Jo, great link to that article with the six points. It's good to love your work AND be good at it.
Gary, I do believe that if you love what you do you can be amazing! Dedication to the profession is what makes a good agent.
I think we are seeing a lot of the bad real estate agents leaving the business right now and the public is starting to recognize that not all were created equal when they go to buy or sell a home and are quickly making the change instead of sticking it out like they would have 3 years ago.
Todd, I think too many people come into the business because they think they can make a quick buck. Those of us that came into the business out of passion see things in a different light.
