But I question RISMedia's statistics as presented, specifically regarding Pennsylvania. According to the Licensed Agents map accompanying this article, Pennsylvania is reported to have only 13,918 sales licensees. No date is offered for that statistic. However, as of Oct. 3, 2006, the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission database of licensees included 39,272 individuals who held an active real estate sales license (excluding brokers, associate brokers, and other licensees). That both skews the figures and adds greater urgency to Krista's contention. I applaud Krista’s conclusion: agents must set themselves apart from the crowd to be successful.
