Summary by Lance Carroll
The simple questions that we
ask ourselves usually dominate
a person’s day. How much
can I make this year? Where is
my business coming from? As
an individual those questions
are easy to answer. But, as a
population of REALTORS ®
those questions get lost in the
amount of answers available.
That is a task that NAR took
and published in the yearly
profile report. They published
two studies:
3 Profile of Real Estate

Firms
201 3 Member Profile
These studies look at the
dynamics of the firms and
people that make up the
National Association of

REALTORS®. At the bottom
of each intro is the link for the
respected documents.
201 3 Profile of Real
Estate Firms
The average office had $4.4
million in sales volume in 201 2
on an average of 25
transaction sides. Looking at
the sales volume by number of
offices a single office had $3.6
million and 1 5 transaction
sides while a firm with four or
more offices completed an
average of $1 45.6 million in
sales volume with 750
transaction sides. The 'Profile
of Real Estate Firms' shows
that an average of 1 0% of all
firms gets their leads from
customers viewing their
website with 1 0% of their sales
volume also generated from
the website. There is a
minimal amount of business
generated through social
media, but larger firms did see
a slight increase by using
social media.
The characteristics of the real
estate industry firms showed
that in 201 2 the median
number of years that a real
estate firm had been in
business was 1 3 years with
1 0% of the firms being
younger than one year.
Nationally, 80% of the real
estate firms were a single
office that had two real estate
brokers and 79% of the real
estate firms focused on
residential with only 5% whose
specialty was commercial.

The profile has a chapter on
real estate franchises. When
looking at the real estate firms
we find that 85% of them are
independent companies, while
1 5% are franchised firms.
1 1 % of the single offices are
franchised, while 47% of the
firms with 4 or more offices are
franchised. A franchised office
has kept their affiliation for an
average of 1 1 years with 41 %
keeping their current affiliation
for over 1 5 years. The profile
also goes into depth on why
people choose their franchise
and what the franchise does
for their business.
When looking at the people in
the firms we find out that on
average each person pays

201 3 Member Profile
By Jessica Lautz & Thomas Doyle
In 201 2, many areas of the
country started to see both
home sales and prices
rebounding. Unlike in past
years, however, those markets
still struggling saw not a
shortage of buyers but a
shortage of sellers. Inventory
dropped from months of
supply to just a few weeks in
many markets. Survey data
from the Investment and
Vacation Home Buyers Survey
show that investment buyers
remained high, but many
12
primary home buyers were
also coming back into the
market. Data from the Profile
of Home Buyers and Sellers
survey showed that both home
buyers and home sellers
wanted to and did work with a
professional real estate agent
or broker at higher rates than
seen in past years. Clients
continue to want the expert
professional advice that
members of the National
Association of REALTORS®
have provided in the past and
continue to provide, as this
year’s report illustrates.
For the second year in a row,
the median gross income of
REALTORS® rose from the
previous year. The typical
income among members was
$43,500 in 201 2, rising from
$34,900 in 201 1 . The rise in
member income is reflective in
the increase in business
activity, as well. The typical
brokerage specialist had 1 2
transaction sides in 201 2
O cto b er 2 0 1 3
RE C o n n ect
compared to 1 0 transaction
sides in 201 1 . Members
reported that they typically had
one transaction side involving
a foreclosure and one
transaction side involving a
short sale. The brokerage sales
volume rose to $1 .5 million in
201 2 from $1 .3 million in 201 1 .
Property managers managed
the most properties on record
from this survey, a median of
49 properties each, which is a
reflection of the strong rental
market in 201 2.
The typical REALTOR® is an
independent contractor
affiliated with an independent
company catering to local
markets. Members typically
have been with their firm for
seven years— a rise from six
years in the prior year’s survey.
While there are new members
entering the profession, there
is a decline in members
leaving the profession, which
has increased both the age
and the median years of
experience of members. The
typical member has 1 3 years
of experience compared to 1 1
years in the last report.
The median age of
REALTORS® has steadily
increased in recent years from
51 years of age in 2007 to 57
in 201 3. The majority of
members are women with a
college education.
REALTORS® frequently have
had careers in other fields prior
to real estate, the most
common being in
management, business, and
financial professions, followed
by sales and retail. Only 6
percent indicated that real
estate is their first career.
REALTORS® are embracing
new technologies and
marketing strategies that
buyers are finding useful in
their home search process,
including websites, blogs, and
social media. In addition to
membership in the National
Association of REALTORS®,
real estate professionals have
other ways of distinguishing
themselves, including affiliate
memberships, professional
designations,
and
certifications.
Many

in the market for two more
years. The share is higher than
last year, indicating the
optimism that is seen in

Saturday and Suspended?
Wh a t do I do ?
I think almost everyone has been in a position where things get away from them and then the 1 1 th of
the month comes along and their SOMLS membership is suspended because their bill wasn’t paid.
That has happened many times with my credit card, phone bill, etc. It is only normal that things slip
a person’s mind, especially when life gets busy.
The problem with being suspended is that you lose access to the MLS. If you need to do business,
you can’t because you can’t log in. www.roguevalleyrealtors.org has a new button on the website
where a REALTOR®, suspended or not, can click on to pay their current MLS bill. The ‘Make a
Payment’ link is on the top right of the website and looks like this:
You don’t need to log onto the site to use the link. The link was specifically created to help
REALTORS® that don’t have access to the website to make a payment and to turn their access
back on. Once the payment is made, you just need to wait two hours for the process to finish.
Southern Oregon MLS is now
working with Listingbook to give
you a Client Portal tool that gives
the home buyer/seller the power
over their own searches as well
as giving the Broker the ability to
view their clients activity. The
best part about Listingbook is
that it is free. Go to
www.listingbook.com to sign up.
Once you get to the website. You
can sign up for your free
Listingbook account by using
your MLS number and your email.
You can also register for the
upcoming Listingbook classes
where they will answer any questions that you have by going to the calendar on the
