I disagree with a lot of what you say. Homeowners will be at all levels of income. Big brokerages are already a waste even though I work for one. Few people care about what company helps them sell the house they just want it sold. Discount brokers have been a joke for the most part failing left and right. Everyone around here thought the down turn was going to create a mass of business for local discount brokers but instead they were the first to go out of business and the remaining ones are bleeding badly. When people are hurting they want HELP and from a professional they know will work to sell their property. They don't want to walk in and pay $2000 to have heir house sit on the market for 2 years with no answered calls or active marketing. Denver was in the downturn 2-3 years before the rest of the country we have been in this cycle much longer and have seen the fun it has created. I can only hope there are many less Realtors after this market turns. There were way too many as it is. Steven Beam Parker, Colorado Real Estate http://www.parkercoloradorealestatehomesforsale.com

Looks like a total PR article. Does anyone ever really pay attention to client ratings? Sounds like it's there more for recruitment. Steven Beam Parker, Colorado Real Estate http://www.parkercoloradorealestatehomesforsale.com

I can almost always tell within the first two phone or email conversations when I'm dealing with a part time broker. They eat into our business and in many cases get in the way of an easy transaction. Full time brokers are experiencing a lot of burn out right now. We are working ten times as hard just to get one deal together and many crash and burn for crazy reasons after we have spent hours and hours pushing them to closing. I hear from many brokers how they are tired of the constant beat down especially from the media. Denver seems to be pulling out of it but I know other parts of the country are just hitting the downward pressure we experienced two years ago.
