WHAT EVER HAPPENED T

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE NEW HOME SALES AGENTS AT LOCAL SUBDIVISIONS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA MARKETS ? Boy, there is a a great oxy-moron , new homes sales agents, in this depression era. What happened to them ? Did they go the way of the dinosaurs? NO, they have assimilated into other areas of real estate, perhaps. I personally moved from new home sales for builders, years ago because of time restraints ,while raising a family. Many of the new home sales agents have just left the business , as most all home builders have shut down or closed down many of the future subdivision plans. Will they ever come back? For years it was considered a prestigious profession, working out of model home , or sales trailer, dressing nice , centrally located all week, and good money, when homes were selling. I cannot remember the last time i signed in a client into a new home subdivision, when showing homes. Can you ? , here in the vast phoenix, scottsdale , mesa , glendale areas of phoenix arizona, it was known as the best , the fastest growing, the place to be, for new home shopping ,visiting 3 ,4, 10 new builders subdivisions, around the valley. Now , the builders don;t even do there weekly newspaper ads , as whats the sense?Did you read today in Reuters news that mortgage applications were down for December , and traffic at any new home subdivision ,was also very slow. So for any of your friends that may still have a new home subdivision JOB, there are working at, wish them well as they are a rarity, until our housing marker springs to life again.what was always a 70-200k a year commission earned potential job, , now you can only imagine. Most builders gave a monthly draw against future closing commissions , in order to keep the agent afloat , while they built out a community. There is a lot to say for a secure builders up and coming new home subdivision, while waiting out this perfect storm in our present real estate market
