I agree also. However, my experience has been that all too often real estate agents are not marketers, nor do they learn as much about their products as do other sales professionals. For example, equipment salesmen can usually even show a prospect how to perform maintenance on their products and demonstrate the specific mechanical advantages over the competition.
In a previous life I was the president of a condo association and had an opportunity to observe that virtually no real estate office in the county bothered to have on hand the condo rules and regulations or up to date association financials in spite of the fact that we made them available upon request.
Not all real estate agents lack professionalism, but all too many are lacking in basic training. Professional real estate agents do far more than driving prospects around and buying lunch.
