Realtors Dropping Like Flies
by Tucson Realtor - Michael Krotchie on February 13, 2009
The number of licensed Realtors in Tucson continues to dwindle from an all-time high of nearly 8,000 agents a few years ago. Once the state releases the official number of agents who didn’t renew their licenses this year I expect to see a number right around 4,500.
A few months ago (before renewals fees came due) Tucson had approximately 4,800 licensed agents and apparently the recent economic punch to the gut finally took a few more hundred out of action, which I think is a wonderful thing. I still think that state needs to enforce more stringent requirements to become an agent (more schooling, an apprenticeship, more continued education) to prevent just what happened a few years ago when there was a large influx of under-qualified agents who were clamoring to make a quick buck.
