Given today's market conditions, what's your experience/opinion on whether it's easy to get a sale being a seller's agent vs a buyer's agent or has it always been this way?

It depends on the clients. I had a couple of listings where I basically did almost no work besides from getting the listing, and everything went smooth and closed without problems. Some seller clients are be very difficult and uncooperative.
Buyers can be OK if they come in with reasonable exceptations and have a good idea of where they want to live already (since I cover about 200 square miles). Some buyers want to see everything from condos, townhomes, single families and apartment homes.
I'd rather have more sellers than buyers, since I don't like giving up weekends. However, as I am younger than a ton of agents in my area, I tend to know more first time buyers than sellers.
Nothing's ever easy in this biz. That's about the extent of information I have to offer you.
