Number of Active Listings
?This is the number of properties that Karen is currently listing for sale vs. the number listed for sale on average, by her agent peer group (‘Peers’). If this number is substantially lower than her peers, Karen may be new to the business, a buyer’s agent, or part of a team where the team leader claims credit for all listings and sales. If her listing count is much greater than her peers, then Karen may be too busy to effectively service another client.
% Dual Rep Transactions
?This is the percent of Karen’s transactions where her brokerage represented both the buyer and seller as broker of record, vs. her agent peer group (‘Peers’).
