| Posted: 19 Jun 2020 08:28 PM PDT Now that I understand real estate, these assholes should be fucking embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. It makes me so fucking angry to think about how predatory they are. Genuinely, can anyone disagree with the fact that they will "hire" absolutely ANYONE with a pulse? I cannot stress the "ANYONE" part enough. I remember a dude showing up 35 minutes late, filling the desk area with the stench of 100 old cigarettes, and wearing flip flops. Guess what our manager said to him? "You seem like a wonderful addition to our team here at Keller Williams Ann Arbor!" So, at least you know you'll be accepted if you go there? Then they will charge you $120+ a month to use their market centers, which are shitty and you'll legit never spend any time there unless you have to. At Keller Williams Ann Arbor Market Center, you get a shitty black-and-white printer, and a Keurig coffee machine, for $120 a month, but possibly more. It's INSANE. AND they don't even give you any leads! They want you to sit in a room and embarrass yourself by calling everyone in your phone book and asking if they "know anyone, who knows anyone who might want to buy real estate." That's not a joke. But pretend to care about them/ask how their family is first. I can't. I left the first FREE Bold training at the lunch break because it was such. a. joke. Spare yourselves please. I'll share the hilarious/preschool-esque literature I got from my painful hour at their $800 BOLD training as soon as I can locate it. It's hilarious. I suggest that you google BOLD Keller Williams for a great laugh/cringe. K bye! [link] [comments] |
| What are the steps as a buyers agent from start to closing? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 11:13 AM PDT So you secure an appt to meet a new client at a house. What happens then? You show them the house and ask if they want to make an offer or see other houses like it in the area? Then what? Then what? Then closing? My company didn't teach much about this but they want me to leave the nest and fly but I feel like I have no idea how to do it. Any advice is greatly appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Any Broker-Owners? Seeking Advice. Posted: 20 Jun 2020 08:01 AM PDT I started my career 1 week out of college working in a large, local real estate office as a paper pusher. After a couple of years I got licensed and worked on 2 different teams for a couple more years. I had some success, but did at least half of my deals with family. Since I was on a team, I was never credited online with the listings/sales (my team leader was) and my signage never had my own name (just the team leader's name), so I was virtually invisible aside from social media. One gripe I had with the brokerage was the high fee (no specifics please, not trying to violate any anti-trust rules). But it was outrageously high and non-negotiable with sellers. The company also did not send leads to the agents, and only 1 of my team leaders ever sent me leads. I got very burned out and low on cash so I found another salaried job in the industry. I'd like to return to real estate some day, but as my own broker-owner. Reasons being are 1) charging a very reasonable fee for listings 2) correcting the mistakes in management I've seen at other places I work 3) I'm a natural DIY-er and control freak with serious OCD. TLDR, I'm wondering if anyone can share their experiences about why they chose to start their own brokerage instead of work with a national or local brand? This career seems well-suited to entrepreneurial people who want to do things their own way and not be told by corporate how much to charge, how you can market, and so on. Was it worth it?

| How do you conduct business with a landscaper/contractor ? Posted: 19 Jun 2020 05:44 PM PDT I had a bad interaction with a real estate agent but in my opinion this guy was sketchy or very cheap. He was making me do some work on a home that wasn't his and he was hesitant to give me a deposit, he ended up giving me a deposit but was "difficult" to work with because he didn't live in the area, he also changed the plans and eventually ended up canceling the project one of the things that stood out was that he said he never paid the contractors until the project was done, that the contractors he typically worked with had no problem working without a deposit, etc Am I in the wrong hee or was he in the wrong ?

| Posted: 19 Jun 2020 09:55 PM PDT I'd welcome level headed advice on what I can expect to make as a first year realtor in DC? I've got a strong work ethic, sales experience and enjoy networking. Having been in the area for 8 years, I also have a good network of 30-40 year olds. [link] [comments] |
| California Realtors Renewal Course Posted: 19 Jun 2020 01:22 PM PDT Anyone have any recommendations for the quickest and easiest renewal courses for California? [link] [comments] |
| Strategies for Luxury Homes Sales? Posted: 19 Jun 2020 01:34 PM PDT Hey everyone! I'm a fairly new agent and am interested in hearing from anyone with experience in the "luxury homes" market. For my area (Greenville, NC), that's homes in the $500k+ range. Most of my sales have been anywhere between $100k-$275k.
Hopefully this could start a discussion of the pros and cons of higher end sales vs. standard market sales as well. Open to hearing anything from the listing side of things too! 👍🏻 [link] [comments] |
| Sluggish market for condos in Denver? Posted: 19 Jun 2020 04:03 PM PDT Any other agents in the Denver metro area experiencing a very sluggish pace for condo sales in the Denver area? It seems like the suburbs are booming with multiple offers and over asking offers but I have 2 condos for sale in Denver and traffic has been incredibly slow. I keep tabs of the other condos in the area for both of them and it appears to be a common theme as there are very few Pending homes and a glut of Active properties. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jun 2020 03:32 PM PDT What sort of ads and results are y'all getting with FB ads? I tried my first campaign this week. $100 for the week just a simple buyer ad with the "click for more information" leading to my website. Landed me one lead and a bunch of post likes and even a few page likes. I'm not sure how this lead will pan out but this seems pretty good for one week and $100. Thinking of going bigger maybe $500-$1k for like a month with a more targeted ad. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Friend selling million dollar home Posted: 19 Jun 2020 06:12 PM PDT I need honest advice from experienced realtors. Please do not reply if you are a noob like myself! Thank you! I'm a resident of South Carolina - about to take the exam. I had a friend from a neighboring state ask me to sell his mom's 1.2 million dollar home; she's older and trusted him to handle all of it. My friend and I have an awesome business relationship, we've worked together on many projects over the course of my career (I'm a professional photographer), so I know this is a serious thing he's asking of me rather than those friends who casually say "omg yeah you'll have to help me buy/sell my house!" What's the best way to go about getting licensed in the neighboring state as quickly as possible in order to get this listing? Is there even a way to do this quickly? It would be my first sale, but I've already been learning and working alongside realtors for almost a year now and feel confident I can handle it. I appreciate any advice! Thank you!
