You’ve just got to love this kind of news for the Raleigh area. There definitely were some downs though, so don’t think that we were spared in the economic downturn. There really are a lot of agents in the Triangle Real Estate market. It isn’t like there were a sizable group that did well during the downturn. There undoubtedly were a few that maintained some sales, but we know a lot of agents that were either forced out of the business or picked up other types of work to supplement things waiting for the “boom times” to return.
We have a lot of real estate agents and brokers that we deal with. Unfortunately, there were a lot of agents that built up their own small teams that found themselves with a lack of business and were no longer able to maintain all that and forced to downsize teams and staff. And waiting for those boom times to kick up again.
In the last 6 months or more though, we’ve heard and seen a lot of agents starting to rebound and step up their games to match. We’re happy to see things finally rebound. So don’t take articles like this – nice as it is to hear – as an indicator that everything has been going swimmingly for the last few years. Far from the truth. We can only imagine what some of the LESS stable areas have been through!
