Berkshire Hathaway Home Services-thoughts? Posted: 14 Aug 2020 06:39 AM PDT I'm a new licensee in the Atlanta area seeking that first brokerage. BHHS seems to have a big presence here and I would expect them to have really good resources for agents. Don't hear about them as much as KW and others for first time agents though. Anybody care to share their experiences with them? submitted by /u/thathareboy [link] [comments]

Keller Williams vs. eXp Posted: 13 Aug 2020 06:42 PM PDT Hello, I'm an agent in Southern California. I've been getting a lot of recruitment calls lately from eXp agents/recruiters and started doing my research and I'm hearing a lot of really good perks about eXp. Example: Low commission cap, stock options, recruitment bonuses, etc. What I really want to know is, has anyone out there left eXp and why did you leave? The way I see it, I hear everyone talking about it like it's amazing but I can't help but think they are just seeing the grass is greener on the other side. I take my business very seriously and I am not one to jump brokerages on a whim. I'm not interested in why someone left KW for eXp; a simple google search has already yielded enough info on that. I'm interested in the hurdles people have encountered at eXp because it's those hurdles that I have the most concern about. Let's hear all the dirty laundry because I just can't believe eXp is the promised land with no drawbacks. submitted by /u/SBAShoNuff [link] [comments]

Calender focused CRM Posted: 14 Aug 2020 10:17 AM PDT Hi everyone, I am just starting out and while i dont have a big database built i think its important to start now and build up a system. Any recommendations on calendar focused CRMs? Ideally i want to be able to put in recurring events like clients bdays, transaction anniversaries and be able to use that as a touch point. I have tried a few and this simple function doesn't seem apparent and at this point im debating just using Outlook. Appreciate any CRM suggestions that you think would fit and thoughts on using outlook as the main database for contacts management submitted by /u/Gr8R4iT [link] [comments]

Who has the best *Realtor Related* social media/PPC content? Posted: 14 Aug 2020 10:07 AM PDT I have a good understanding of social media Concepts but I have been lousy at promoting myself as a realtor. I am looking for suggestions for your favorite people producing content that relate specifically to Realtors and how to do social media esp PPC marketing. Because we are a Facebook special ads category it seems as if all of the typical marketing rules go out the window. I'm interested in hearing what others are doing and who they are listening to. Thanks! submitted by /u/fisherreshif [link] [comments]

How does hiring a Transaction Coordinator online work? Posted: 14 Aug 2020 03:43 AM PDT Anyone in California have experience with Synergytransactions? Let me know! Thx! submitted by /u/Khanssz [link] [comments]

How do you actually attract buyers to your listings? Instead of a listing sitting on the market for far too long? Any marketing tips as well? Posted: 14 Aug 2020 03:01 AM PDT I'm curious, most of the time I just stick to advertising on ad-list websites which I'm starting to believe truly does absolutely nothing. My grandma is a realtor, and these days she tends to struggle on finding her clients some potential buyers. I want to help her, but I have no clue how. I see some realtors sell houses in 3-days, sometimes even less than a month, and instantly I just scratch my head trying to figure out how. They aren't lucky sales either because top realtors will constantly be selling at a fast rate with ease. Is there any tips-marketing advice, on how to attract buyers so a listing doesn't sit for x-amount of time? submitted by /u/SkippingTheDots [link] [comments]

Need Help in Winston-Salem, NC Area Posted: 14 Aug 2020 06:27 AM PDT OK, realtors of Reddit, I am wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction. I am trying to get a place with my older sister, who has a toddler, and my uncle who's a paraplegic. We are looking for something with four bedrooms. It can even be a trailer. We absolutely NEED to move. Do any of you know where to look or who to talk to? If you do, Thank you so much! God bless. submitted by /u/ChocolateCloud99 [link] [comments]

South Dakota Broker Exam Posted: 14 Aug 2020 05:55 AM PDT Anyone have any suggestions on studying for this? I'm looking to get a reciprocal Broker's license and the SD real estate commission says "just study the state law". I did that, took the exam and failed. The exam was NOTHING like what I read and studied. When I contact schools they want $1000+ for courses! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/praguer56 [link] [comments]

Working w/ platforms like Redfin, Opendoor, Compass etc. Posted: 14 Aug 2020 05:11 AM PDT I'm 25 and in the process of getting my license. I have been to considering starting out at platforms like redfin, compass and opendoor, as I imagine I can learn a lot there and later leave and do my own thing. Has anyone worked for any of them in the past (or still does now) and could lmk how it is? submitted by /u/Isabel_DB88 [link] [comments]

Networking Posted: 13 Aug 2020 06:15 PM PDT I'm planning on getting my license this winter and so I have been doing a lot of reading in this sub. From what I've read, it's obviously important to network, make connections, get your name out there, etc. My husband has a successful hardwood floor refinishing business and is always around flippers, contractors, real estate agents, etc. Could this sphere, so to speak, be helpful to me? submitted by /u/Limp_Neat4771 [link] [comments]

Advice in buying Tahoe Right now. Posted: 13 Aug 2020 09:59 PM PDT Hi. Looking for some advice. I have put two offers in on places in South Lake and lost the bod to a cash under bid and over bid. I am new at buying a house. My price range is 400k to 500k but I am looking to buy the old fashion way with a mortgage and 20% down. I cant tell if my realtor is really is really working for me or not. The last offer I bid way over asking and wanted to do a time limited offer but my realtor advised against it. We waited two days and found out that we got out bid by a cash offer I can't help but feel like the realtor let the listing agent leverage our offer for a higher price. I know things are crazy in Tahoe Right now but I could use some advice on how to be strategic with offers and out manuver cash buyers. submitted by /u/Raskolniikov [link] [comments]

Listing Advice Posted: 13 Aug 2020 03:08 PM PDT Hey guys, New agent here in Georgia. I have two listings coming up here shortly and I've never been on the sellers side of any transactions. Just wondering any advice you guys have for making my listings as professional as possible. I'm planning on having an open house which I've never done before. Just wanna make sure I take care of my clients and keep them coming back. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Augusta_GA_Realtor [link] [comments]

I got 2 clients who wants to make an offer Posted: 13 Aug 2020 09:25 PM PDT So i have 2 buyer clients and they both love same property. One of them is a really good friend as well. I don't know how to help both of them. My client can outbid my friend. And my friend is told me not to show this property to my client. But as a realtor I cannot do that. If i help my client, it might upset my friend and if i help my friend, I will be biased and that's not right for my client. We are in a bidding war and both of them asking me how much should they offer. I am not sure what to do here. Property is listed for 299k. Actual value is $375k. My friend is willing to pay that and if my client makes an offer more than that, then he is over paying. submitted by /u/polo1990 [link] [comments]

What is the issue with KW? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 08:44 PM PDT I interviewed with them last year before I finished my licensing education in my state. I didn't really know how I felt about the splits and fees, but the training and post licensing education seemed useful. I've seen a lot of negative statements about them here though. Anyone with more experience with them than I (as someone who has interviewed and had a couple convos with their agents, but never being apart of them, or in a transaction with "them" on the other end) care to offer an opinion on KW? It is not my intention to start a hate thread, or to suggest an agent of this brokerage is less capable of one of another, I am asking for the opinions of fellow REALTORS on experiences with the company at any capacity, and how they believe this negative energy surrounding them came about. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/SatanicLemons [link] [comments]

SOI without feeling scammy Posted: 13 Aug 2020 08:16 PM PDT Hi! I just got my license last week and I'm struggling with how to let people know I'm a realtor without seeming scammy. I was wondering how you guys handle contacting your sphere of influence? Is it just Facebook post to remind people you do it or email updates? I feel like emailing things to people I know without directly asking for their email seems weird and something I would ignore, if it were done to me. Also is it weird to not have prospects right when you start? I also feel super behind already and it's stressing me out! Thanks all! submitted by /u/yakity908 [link] [comments]

Can you hire another Transaction Coordinator from another brokerage? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 07:51 PM PDT I'm with Coldwell Banker in Southern California and I feel like I need to get a better TC. Thanks for the answers! submitted by /u/Khanssz [link] [comments]

If you had to go out and get a listing how would you do it? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 06:02 PM PDT submitted by /u/I-Eat-Hamburgers [link] [comments]

I’m with a brokerage that I really like but the Transaction Coordinator is not very good. What should I do? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:17 PM PDT I need a good transaction Coordinator for my transactions but she is the only TC in my office. Is there a way to find someone else? submitted by /u/Khanssz [link] [comments]

Question from a buyer Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:01 PM PDT Edit: how can we make ourselves stand out when making an offer? Our broker hasn't offered any guidance and we've lost out on two homes. Is it unethical to ask the sellers agent how to make our offer more desirable or what their specific motivation is? submitted by /u/Theratpack89 [link] [comments]
