The Oldest Profession

By: Nancy Keszthelyi

In a recent article written by James Crumbaugh III, the article is not what you thought –although the title did capture some attention.  The article examined the question: Will our profession cease to exist in the next ten years?

He stated that the real estate profession it will cease to exist as we know it today. Just as the wagon trains led way the Iron Horse that gave way to airplanes and jets, allowing people to move across the county and around the world.

With all that being said, I can’t think of a better profession in the world to be in than real estate. This industry will exist in some form or another.

Just think about all the land around the world with a population that doubles every few years. It is simple supply and demand.

Real estate values will continue to rise, and the real estate professional will continue to become more and more valuable in the process.  There will be new systems in place with someone involved in the transfer of this great real estate wealth.

James Crumbaugh stated that in 30 years from now when he lives on the water in Florida, someone will buy the same piece of property for $30 million, they will say, “What do you mean you only paid $1 million for that property?” 

 Isn’t it fun to look back at an old ad or a community brochure and look at the real estate values only a decade ago?  Just imagine 30 years from now!  We will still exist, but perhaps in a different way.

Our industry is up and down, rough and tumble one in which really only a few survive to make it a lifetime career.  This is my career, and I absolutely love this industry.  I love the people and the continually changing daily challenges I face.  My dad often said, “Do what you love and love what you do, and you will never have a day of work in your life.”

I promise my customers and clients; the joy of owning a new home is all yours, the pleasure of the process is all mine.

Enjoy the day.


Realtors, This is the time to embrace your role of helping clients!

In a recent article, Vicki L. Cox Golder, 2010 NAR president wrote, “For Realtors who specialize in residential sales, this is a time to embrace your role helping clients find a home they can afford and in a neighborhood they love.

Our job at Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors brings that expertise to the forefront.  Our agents are well-trained and counseled when it comes to the details of providing valuable service to the buyers, sellers and investors, while maintaining  a high standard of practise.

When looking to hire a real estate agent, buyers should ask themselves, “Who are they working for?”  Our agents are product knowledgeable, informed about the areas (referencing schools, activities, entertainment, religious venues and more) and concerned about the needs and wants of each client.  NRT Development Advisors’ goal is to serve you the client with the finest team of dedicated agents who receive ongoing training and education.  Our agents also educate the client regarding why it is a smart time to buy a house or condominium -not only because of attractive interest rates and tax deductions, but because we all still love the dream of owning our own home.
