		<description>&quot;Name one. Maybe it’s Marty. I don’t know who he is.&quot;

Please don&#039;t think I&#039;m claiming to be a great Realtor. I think you make a valid argument as to who can write this and I think the numbers are shockingly small. My hope is to contribute to raising the standards.

I got my license in less than two weeks. There is something wrong with that.

However, I agree being a top producer does not correlate to being a great Realtor. As I said before, I subscribe to many blogs but only skim most of them. This one and bloodhound are where some of the forward thinkers are. There may be a few more.

The answer to this question is certainly not one post. I will eventually compile a list of skills I think would make a great Realtor. It will take some time and I have to make a living too.

This is fantastic question and should be answered. It&#039;s really too bad the only guy even making an attempt is someone who has been in the business less than two years. What would it take to get some of the &quot;Great Realtors&quot; involved?

I am truly hoping I will learn from some others with more experience.</description>

		<description>I think you can do it, Greg.

I also think Jay Thompson and Kris Berg could do it.

I think someone like Bill Lublin could certainly do it.

I don&#039;t know that the &quot;What it Takes to be a Great Realtor&quot; has to withstand the scrutiny of Harvard Business School profs; it&#039;s just a set of opinions and observations by a veteran about an industry.  Surely we have people who can do that?

		<description>&gt; I guess I am amazed, because there are plenty of folks who can easily write a series on “What it Takes to be a Great Realtor”.

Name one. Maybe it&#039;s Marty. I don&#039;t know who he is. I don&#039;t think we&#039;re there yet, and we&#039;re pushing the limits harder than anyone else I know of. I end up knowing everyone who is really trying to do better, and I can&#039;t think of anyone who fits this bill. Top-producers abound, but a big part of their praxis consists of inducing hasty decisions. I don&#039;t know everyone, to be sure, but I would expect to hear from anyone who is really driving standards higher.

FYI: There is no &quot;The&quot; nor any word space in BloodhoundBlog.</description>

Do you want to take a crack at it?
