I haven't worked in the home sales/mortgage industry, but I bought a house in 2006 and what I remember was the huge number of people getting into the industry in the boom years and then a mass exodus after the crash. It felt like everyone who didn't already have a good career was getting a realtor's license in 2006. I would expect this go around to be similar, they may want to raise their fees to account for dropping prices, but there are probably too many others trying to compete in the market for a slice of the shrinking pie to let that happen.
