San Diego Association of REALTORS®
INTRODUCTION
Structural changes are taking place in every aspect of the workplace. The real estate industry is not an exception. The way our members sold real estate 10 years ago is not the way they sell it today and the way they sell it today is not how they will sell it ten years from now. Their market, job description and needs are being transformed. Driving forces and concepts affecting and threatening our members and our associations as they currently function include:
Board of Choice
Public access to the MLS
Agency liabilities
Loss of MLS to outside entities, which results in loss of MLS income
Buyer Brokerage/Broker Buyer Brokerage/Broker Compensation
Alternative revenue sources
Decreasing membership
Professionalism
Staff driven Vs volunteers drive, the dynamics of changing leadership
Added value, more for less
Dealing with the “I want it all, I want it now, and I want it for nothing” syndrome
Decrease in available volunteer time as time becomes more valuable and the membership shrinks
But in every threat lies an opportunity, an opportunity to ride the forces of change in the direction in which it is already headed, and reaping the benefits.
