Mike discusses a recent survey of 1.5 million real estate agents in the US, highlighting various statistics such as 71% of agents completing zero transactions in 2020, a record percentage of agents doing more than five deals despite market conditions, and a record low of agents recommending the real estate career. Mike also addresses the gap between the 'haves' and 'have nots', the challenges of unpredictable income and finding customers, and the negative view of the National Association of Realtors due to HR issues. Mike concludes by questioning why someone would work for someone else when they won't work for themselves.
