| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 08:21 PM PDT Look, I know we're all grown adults and what others shouldn't matter, but let's be honest, we would like people to be supportive in what we do in our lives. Just seeing your experiences. I think everybody has been super supportive of me but cast doubt on the industry & concept itself. My parents support me, but they're rather conservative compared to me. They've always gone the "safe" route in life. I'm much more brash, confident, and always completely willing to take calculated risks to bet on myself. My Dad has worked in the warehouse industry. He is a bit old fashioned and has always worked hard but he's always focused on never eating into his savings and working a salary 9-5 job. He is supportive, however, the concept of moving to another part of the country and doing a job without a guaranteed salary is crazy to him. He's even recommended me that I try to find a salary job as a realtor, even if the pay is low so I am guaranteed cash flow. Being a realtor isn't for everybody and the concept is pretty foreign to conservative, safe friends of ours so I'm sure you guys have dealt with doubt, too. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2020 12:48 PM PDT How would you, representing a buyer that wants to buy an off market property? I'm thinking about getting a pre-approval together and draft up an offer contract and heading over to the seller's home, anyone have any better suggestions to go about it? [link] [comments] |
| Soon to be TN agent. Biggest challenges? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:24 AM PDT Hey all, Sitting for the exam shortly. What are the biggest challenges in getting started? I'm fearful in getting started and failing too soon before I get anything rolling. My background is finance and credit, which helps (I think) but I've struggled with being young in previous roles. 23/M [link] [comments] |
| Interested in getting OH license, what steps to take? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:59 AM PDT I am 23 and wanting to get into real estate sales. I'm curious about what order I should go in; do I find a job listed as entry level while I take the classes, or do I take the classes and then get a job? Also, any recommendations about which online courses to take is very welcome. I'm trying to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible! TIA!! [link] [comments] |
| What day of the week do you list new homes? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 12:27 PM PDT |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:24 PM PDT Brand new agent here... In my state (AZ), we use zipform for all contracts and get e-signatures. If I want to get the signature at the end of my listing presentation, do I need to fill it out on my laptop and email them for signatures? I'm worried about the whole process of connecting to the internet and getting things up in front of the client. How do you guys do it? Do you print it out? [link] [comments] |
| Working with awful buyers (family). Requesting recommendation/advice please Posted: 14 Jun 2020 02:11 PM PDT So, this is my second time working with my brother who is trying to flip/rent homes. The first time, I didn't get paid. I showed him like 10 houses, and then we got in an argument and he ended up buying the 11th house using the listing agent instead of me. The argument was about how he is wasting my time by offering extremely bad offers. Like literally half of the listing price - it's insulting to the home owner and damages my reputation among other agents. Another thing I brought up was how more often than not, he wants to make offers without looking at the homes. This happened multiple times but two offers got accepted. The first one, we cancelled because he then decided "you know what, it's actually too far from where I want the property." The second one, when he finally got to look at it, he decided he didn't like due to needed a little more work than was expected. He then tried to change the offer and lower it by $30k. This is on homes valued below 200k, so 30k price drop is a lot. So that felll through. Anyway, we are working together again.... and is more of the same shit. Not looking at homes, wanting me to write offers without him seeing them / low ball offers. There is a home for 150k right now, he wants me to write a 70k offer for it. The person who originally bought it and flipped it paid 70k for it one year ago, why would he sell it for the same price. He wouldn't - but my brother still wants to make the offer. The thing is, if I put up with this I may end up getting a commission check this time around. He's my brother and I like helping him, but this is the most annoying thing in the world. Is there a way I can get him to stop with the bullshit without losing him as a client? Personally, I think I should just drop him. Even though he's definitely trying to buy another rental property, it just feels like working with the worst client in my life, for a second time around, may not be such a good idea(even if he is family and I willl get commission). So, what do you all think? Any recommendations/advice? [link] [comments] |
| Want to be an agent but moving states within the year; how to prep? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 07:15 PM PDT My girlfriend and I will be moving states within the year, from Florida to North Carolina and was hoping for some advice from experienced agents. I am currently a guest relations manager at a large resort theme park so I do feel very comfortable talking to people in all types of circumstances. I am using the remainder of the year to make sure I have enough cash for the start up education/tests/fees but I wanted to know what else I should be doing. I will not be doing any licensing or paying any fees in my current state but when I move. Any advice to a new agent starting in a town or state that is completely foreign to them? I will be moving somewhere where I know nobody, so I already know that will be a tough part as I will not be getting friend or family referrals. I am already planning on reading the books and learning as much as I can about the business in general but any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Are there any Real Estate datasets that are publicly available? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 03:40 PM PDT |
| CA resident getting lcensed on MO Posted: 14 Jun 2020 02:43 PM PDT I am a resident of CA. I would like to start the process of becoming a realtor in MO. I have a home out there and will be moving there in about 8 months. Is it possible to take the courses and get my license now in MO so I am ready when I move out there? Thank you in advance!

| How common is it to fire a realtor? (And are we being unreasonable?) Posted: 14 Jun 2020 01:20 PM PDT Backstory: We worked with a realtor we loved in the past, and had a personal relationship with, but we felt like we sold under market value, so we decided this time around to go with someone we didn't know personally. Older realtor with decades of experience. Even posted on this subreddit about our experience. Fast-forward - we have been pretty frustrated with the communication (or lack thereof) from our realtor. We went 30 days with less than 5 showings, and didn't feel like the realtor really cared about this. When we have a showing, we have been in very close communication with our realtor, letting him know all the feedback we are hearing. We have asked for updates on communication with other agents as soon as possible. We've heard VERY little back, often delayed. Yesterday, we had a buyer come back for a second showing with their parents. They even mentioned that the house was their #1 choice. We asked for our realtor to reach out and let them know we are willing to negotiate / match incentives (like covering closing) to try to clench the deal. They offered on another house, and we didn't hear anything at all until today. Long story short, today I had a talk with someone on the realtor team (technically our agent's son), in which I was told my micromanagement was "inappropriate." At this point, we think we've burned some bridges of trust with the agent. Is this a situation where you would expect a client to find a new agent that matches communication styles better? How common is this kind of thing, where you just don't seem to be seeing eye-to-eye? [link] [comments] |
