TOP STORY: Gary Keller: "Tough times drive away the pretenders."
In a recent conversation, Gary Keller chairman and co-founder of Keller Williams Realty noted, "Tough times drive away the pretenders. Real estate agents can actually make more money in hard times."
Keller observed — "When the market shifts, in the short run everyone's business suffers to some degree because the shift occurs so swiftly. However, once agents get their bearings and see what it takes, the committed ones forge ahead, put in the extra effort and hours and lay the foundation to survive and then thrive.
