I am on board with that logic Jim. In addition, as long as a newer agent has a strong, dedicated broker backing him/her, such escrow problems can also be handled. Best of luck with business and I look forward to checking out your blog as well.

I can live with that. People love using gut instinct, so let’s do some of both. If the agent you’re talking to is light on sales but has demonstrated a thorough understanding – take a chance on him or her. How many old veterans are too tired or too busy to help? Plenty – so balance it out. But I’d like to add that the experienced veteran know more ways to handle problems that arise during the escrow period than the newer agents do. If the choice is close, select the veteran.

Jim. I like the info you provide and can tell you definitely know what you are talking about. Just from 2:06 to 3:03 if what rubbed me the wrong way. I have new agent friends who are excellent at evaluating comps and pricing strategies, discussing market trends/financials, etc. They do not however have the total number of sales under their belt that you stress due to their length of time in the business. I feel that people should not be penalized due to their lenth of time in the business.

dannn1111,

The number of homes sold is a great indicator of ability to get deals done – the proof is in the pudding! You’re welcome to name a better indicator.

For you to say I’m trying to make new guys look bad is off-base. I’m trying to give consumers some real help that is relevant.

Some good points. But this is also a typical seasoned SD agent trying to make the new guys look bad as they do not have the volume under their belts. Number of homes sold is not necessarily indicative of service level and ability to get deals done.
