What’s Involved in Being Good Tustin Real

Finding Tustin Real Estate Agents is more about knowing

the pros and cons and considering the options before making

a choice.

As far as Hollywood stereotypes go, a real estate agent is always travelling in an expensive car or flying off to a distant, exotic island to check out real estate property. He or she meets clients over cocktails, attends flashy parties with lenders, and makes oodles of money (often into seven figures, but certainly into six figures). The real picture is hardly so. According to several surveys, on an average Tustin real estate agents with at least 10 years’ experience took home under $60,000 a year. In other words, the typical real estate agent was not a high roller, but a pretty modest earner in terms of income from real estate.

You must be wondering how that is even possible. The

commissions are supposed to be massive and they always

look so successful on the surface. But the truth is that it’s a

common misconception. Most real estate agents simply have

to work hard to become successful in their field, and success

is not a bed of roses. However, there are quite a fantastic

real estate companies in Orange County which house some

of the top agents in the country.

Who are inactive agents?

You also need to understand not everybody in the field of

real estate in Orange County is a true professional. For a

long time real estate has enticed a number of amateurs who

have been looking for part time jobs. Usually these are folks

who have retired from their previous careers in teaching,

military, government, or large corporations and are

presently on Social Security scheme. While there is nothing

wrong in that, they are simply looking for some additional

income and nothing more. Often these people have dabbled

a little in real estate themselves and are in an office as much

to look for bargains they can buy on their own as to service

you. In the trade these people are sometimes called

‘inactive’ agents.

Why aren’t they reliable?

Some of these Yorba Linda real estate agents can provide

excellent service to you. In fact, at some point in your life

you may want to dabble in real estate and may become one

yourself! It’s a great way to get a little extra income on the

side. The difficulty, however, with many inactive agents who

have another source of fixed income is that they may not be

enthusiastic enough to discover good property for you, find

the best bargains, and discuss the difficult deals. After all, it

doesn’t really matter if they are able to pull off that sale or

not. They always have that other income to fall back on.

Who are the active agents?

Thankfully, there are quite a few around today. Try to

remember the 60/40 rule-of-thumb. Every active real estate

broker knows that sixty percent of the agents sell forty

percent of the property. The corollary is that sixty percent of

the agents are only selling forty percent of the property.

That big sixty percent includes many of the ‘inactive’ group.

So you know exactly where to look. You’ll find the best real

estate agents Orange County in the other forty per cent.
