Saturation Woes
As with any new "hot, money-making idea," people jump in feet first without looking just to make some money “quick and easy.”
Fortunately, for those of us who view the signing agent profession as a long-term career, the cream always rises to the top and the rats jump ship first (mixing metaphors here! sorry!). I believe that this will happen here as well. Indicative of this are two separate phone calls I received this past week. Instead of starting out with the usual question of “are you available?,” instead I was asked “are you still a Signing Agent?”
It really made me think: hmmm (me tapping my finger to my forehead), they must be calling people who have “quit” the profession, but are still listed (because they are too lazy, disillusioned, or just don’t care to take the time to remove their information).
Therefore, I believe that for those of us who have faith in this business, treat it like a business, do our homework and strive to do our best (ALWAYS in a professinal manner), the market will even out soon for us and we'll all be just fine. Hang in there everyone! :-)
