We are independent contractors, for the most of us. To become successful in this business you have to work at it, by doing a good job and staying in contact with your clients, the repeat and referral business will set you apart from the norm! It costs money to get your listings marketed on internet sites and through Multiple Listing Services, but that choice is yours. The industry is regulated at the State level to keep everyone honest and above board and should be! </body> </HTML>
