Hiring an agent, 20%, 80% or 100%?

Why hire 20% or 80% when you can have 100%?
Did you know 80% of Real Estate agents are part-time?!  They either have another job or are practicing Real Estate in the interim while attending school or between jobs to supplement their income.  Typically, these agents drop out of the business in 2 years or less!
Do you want to be in the middle of your home purchase process and discover you are that agent's last client? What happens after the sale closes if you have some issues with the home you just purchased?
If you are a seller, do you want your home on the market and the agent drops out of the business while your home is for sale? Will the agent spend any time or money marketing your home?
20% of the agents are usually full-time seasoned agents with years of experience. Virtually, no 2 home sales are alike; having experience on your side is a good thing! I am in the 80% group, but I like to think I am 100% Real Estate! I have years of experience, many hundreds of sales under my belt and I am continuing to evolve with the latest marketing trends. 
Why put your biggest investment or purchase with a part-timer?
