    Realtors: This house is $29,500 a year in Property Taxes in Franklin, TN. Granted, it's a 22,000 Sq Ft home, but I've heard that's actually not that high compared to other Cities...is that true?

    Realtors in Austin, TX area...or who have experience in this area....

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    I've recently started working with a local agent looking to buy a second home. When asking if offering 250k for a listing thats asking 275k would be considered insulting, and what would be a good offer. I was told that in today's market, the good houses are sold at or more than asking price. Just wanted to get a second opinion without insulting the real estate agent.

    Im not used to this area, the area I am moving from, it's not uncommon to offer a low amount, get a counter offer, and negotiate. It seems that Austin is so saturated with buyers, that sellers are selling houses like hot cakes? I don't understand how one could buy a house for more than asking price, I would figure if John is asking 275k and I agree...then we pull up the paper work and we close on the deal. Unless it's an auction, but that's not what we were talking about. What am I missing here?

    In my situation would I be legally obligated to a certain realtor?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    I saw a fsbo, sent the info to my realtor and when she got back to me the info she gave was to get me not to pursue it anymore. She always does that when I send her fsbo but I hadn't caught on by then. Anyway, I ended up going to see it alone since I felt I had no choice since realtor had made it clear she thought it was a waste of time. After that, I went back a 2nd time, this time with realtor so she could see it. That was a couple weeks ago, honestly I've been on the fence about that house, but I'm actually in the process of switching realtors for multiple multiple reasons. She's unprofessional, changes her story all the time, doesn't like driving to the area we want to buy in, continues to try to talk us out of choosing that area and minimize our reasons for such, the majority of houses I've looked at are ones I have had to find myself, is pushy and we just started looking, etc. My question is, at this point if I decide to make an offer on that house do I legally have to go through her? What if I were to not use a realtor at all for the deal but go with a lawyer since it's fsbo? I have signed no contract with her or even had any such thing mentioned to me.

    tldr; found a fsbo went and saw it myself, then went back with realtor, that was several weeks ago. I won't be working with that realtor going forward. However, if I decide to go back and offer on this house do I have to use her for the deal, or can I go through someone else, either another realtor or a lawyer? Is this a gray area?

    Is social media a necessity?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2020 10:30 AM PDT

    Hi there, I am going to start University (in my own country) to study and become a realtor.

    Problem is that I have never had social media. My friends that I used to hang around with weren't the type to use social media so I wasn't into it. We all used to call and text each other to play football or arrange it in person

    So I never had the start to social media, I have recently moved due to Uni and have obviously lost contact (still texts and calls). I know this is VERY unusual today, and I am very unfortunate.

    Becoming a realtor I suspect that I need social media. Even if I start an account, I would have less than 20 followers, we arent a huge group of friends.

    And I am honestly a bit embarassed about that when compared to people with at least 300 followers.

    Is social media a necessity?

    Small town realtors: how do you handle flaky service people?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 05:06 PM PDT

    I work in a small tourist town as a realtor and have a problem. The plumbers, roofers, septic people, contractors, and electricians are total flakes. They often don't show up for appointments, promise bids by a certain date and don't deliver, forget to tell anyone if they're going to be late, etc. Since we are always working on deadlines in RE it causes a lot of stress for my clients and I. I've tried contacting NUMEROUS tradespeople in neighboring, larger towns but haven't had luck with getting any of them to drive out here. My broker works in a neighboring city, so no info there.

    I'm always friendly and understanding while letting them know I'm working under deadlines. If any of you have overcome a similar problem can you tell me how?

    TLDR: Is there a jedi mind trick to making small town tradespeople want to perform well for you?

    Commission split

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 05:06 PM PDT

    I am in the process of interviewing with brokers right now, a couple have offered a 50/50 commission split.

    Another has offered an 80/20 split on self sourced leads. If the lead is from the office it is...

    45/55 $50,000.00 GCI = 50/50 $75,000.00 GCI = 55/45 $100,000.00 GCI = 60/40

    What do you think? Training is the most important to me but also want to make sure I'm making the right choice and not being hosed.

    How to speak to a neighbor about the sale of their mom's house when mom is in hospice?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 03:43 PM PDT

    A neighbor of mine is now in the final days of her life. She's in her 90s and her son moved her into hospice care. He's been cleaning out her townhouse to prepare it for sale. I want to list the place but I don't know how to exactly word that without coming across as morbid.

    Any suggestions?

    Best CRM for high end real estate? Best-in-class systems?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 04:37 PM PDT

    Looking for best-in-class solution for real estate marketing. I have just become a sales agent so I can (and must) build my business from the ground up, with only prospects of joining a team down the road. I feel like this is an opportunity to manage new, leading, best-in-class tech since I'm not entrenched in any old tech systems currently.

    I have looked at the links in the megathread, but they are all very old and with spotty advice.

    I will probably be using the Ninja Selling philosophy. I have a mild form of dyslexia, so I'm not very good at data entry or complex systems, for what it's worth.
