I respect the service and committment that these agencies have provided which are crucial to the Real Estate Industry. Yes, I believe that the industry is very competive, which explains why so many new licensees come into the business each year to replace the number of licensed agents who fail to make a living in this industry. We do not need to make the industry any more difficult by making it easier with less effort and less expertise as some would like to do. </body> </HTML>
