| FYI Black real estate agents do exist, don't be so shocked when we arrive for showings. Posted: 23 Aug 2020 11:36 PM PDT Basically the title. The look of shock I get when arriving at showings or departing showings and exchanging keys is utterly ridiculous. Another favorite is "whos the agent here?" Accompanied by the incredulous look that it couldn't possibly be me. We are just trying to provide a service just like other agents and the shock is visible and makes it awkward for all parties. Is there something I can do to reduce the shock of being a black agent to my white peers? [link] [comments] |
| Postcards and Mailers! (Which company to use) Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:45 AM PDT Whatsup everyone! I have been expanding my lead gen sources and I think I am going to add postcards/mailers to my list. I have sent letters before but never created campaigns for the long haul. Which companies have you used? I guess I am just looking for general feedback/advice. [link] [comments] |
| Writing that killer offer letter? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:07 AM PDT Other than simply offering the world, what are your tips for making that offer stand out and at least get negotiations going? Got a situation where the property is listed way too high. Listing agent looks to have a pattern of listing in the stars and dropping a couple percent each month or two until she gets traction, but buyer wants to go in much closer to assessment and comps (don't blame them). Property has been sitting for a while, sellers seem to be in a good financial position since they moved out months ago. [link] [comments] |
| Are any of you in Yakima Washington? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 12:42 PM PDT Are any of you in Yakima Washington? I'm shopping for a brokerage. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 08:30 AM PDT I already talked to an attorney about writing up all of the necessary contracts and everything else that needs to be done. Obviously this sub will be biased but, is there anything we would need our realtor for? If not, what can we do to make sure we do right by them? They have been awesome to us, weve offered on a few houses and it just never worked out. I dont want to just dump them after all of the time theyve spent on us, but this deal we are getting from our landlord is too good to pass up. [link] [comments] |
| Career Switch....is it ethical/allowed? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:51 AM PDT I live and work in CT as an insurance representative for a direct writing company. I am not happy in my current position, I have been toying with the idea of getting my real estate license and working part time while still working in insurance full time until I can save enough to switch primarily to real estate. Is anyone aware if this is allowed or ethical? I am nervous to ask my employer so i don't risk them losing faith in my loyalty. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 08:02 AM PDT Worked as an educator for 10 years before getting into real estate 16 months ago. I joined a 100% company and have done 2.5 million in sales. Before COVID I felt like I was gaining some traction, business was great in April then everything went dead. I was finding business at open houses and through my sphere of influence. With COVID open houses are practically non-existent and lots of my networking events have been brought online to Zoom or cancelled. Right now, it's my belief that most buyers/sellers are doing their research online and as a realtor we must have some type of presence, whether it's Zillow, FB ads or Google Ads. I've been doing lots of research about online lead generation, all these top platforms are going to cost at least $750+ month. Here is what I'm faced with, should I go all-in with whatever money I made so far and one of these programs or should I take an opportunity to join a team who will provide leads but will put me on a 40-60 (40 to me & 60 to team leader) split. This move would require me to leave my brokerage and join another company. Any thoughts? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:41 AM PDT Hey everyone, Is there a good quick and easy way to track mileage for all company travel? Looking for a good solution to use and am willing to pay a descent amount for it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:33 AM PDT I have decided I want to become a realtor. I currently live in AZ, but won't start actual work until I move to CO in June. I have a few people I will reach out to for some guidance. But I want to ask what steps you would take? I am a stay at home mom, husband is a full time student. Do I start schooling now, start reading books? I have roughly 9 months to do as much as I can in Arizona but I know policies and laws differ state to state. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 07:10 PM PDT Is anyone concerned that we are currently in a weird housing bubble? Everyone is trying to buy real estate on one side, and on another, people can't afford real estate, or rent. How does this impact the underlying economy? [link] [comments] |

| Texas Help about IndentoGo background checks Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:12 AM PDT I just passed both my exams and just need to finish the fingerprints/background check to get my license. But I guess you now HAVE to do it through IdentoGO and the wait time is a month minimum! And any of the nearby locations (within an 1hr30) are all a month wait too. Is this normal? And if so, is there any way that you have found to expedite it or get in sooner? ty [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:03 AM PDT If the real estate commission finds you were defrauded by a real estate licensee.. if the recovery fund max says $25K, is that the most you can get? Or can they order the licensee to pay more if the damages are more? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 07:38 AM PDT Hello all, if this isn't allowed I apologize as I am just looking for some help with finishing up my coursework and I've been a bit lost. I've recently finished all of my chapters and my pre exam. Now I'm required to do a CMA but the problem is that these houses differ so much that it's hard for me to try to find the correct price range. The houses they've given me to compare have similar bedrooms except for a few but the problem is that the square footage and the lot square footage are pretty different. How do I calculate my footage into this? I've read through the chapters and those specific appraisal chapters but nothing is really helping me. Any advice? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Any agents in south Minneapolis area? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:33 AM PDT I'm working on an article about the area and tying in a few homes that are selling later. If you live in that area, I want to know what you like about the area, any good coffee shops, favorite parks, etc. Edit to add that we are happy to include your info as an agent in the article if you have some good, detailed info and live in the area [link] [comments] |
| What are other realtor communities? could be in reddit, or elsewhere Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:14 AM PDT Looking for other communities where realtors can exchange opinions/advice/etc... doesn't need to be in Reddit - it can be facebook groups, slack groups, linkedin, whatever. Just looking to connect to more brokers :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:02 AM PDT Hi everyone, my apologies but I have a question for the pros here. We just put in an offer at 530K, which is exactly the same as the asking price. The listing agent got back saying they just received a second offer and asked if we would like to add an escalation clause. We ended up adding an escalation clause saying we would pay $3000 over the next highest offer with a cap off $560,000. That is the maximum that we would be comfortable in paying but obviously we would like to pay less. My question is, if the other bidder goes in at $550k, which is their max, does the seller have to present the $550k offer to me first and ask if I would still like to pay $553K per my escalation clause, thus giving me a chance to back out if I don't feel comfortable, or am I automatically locked in at $553k and the seller can ratify the new contract? TLDR: does escalation clause lock me in an "escalated" offer price as long as it's under my max, or can I still choose to back out of the bid? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| How can I source investors that want to buy real estate? Posted: 23 Aug 2020 08:30 PM PDT I am quite new and while we have people looking at properties in the window, I want to start selling the under construction developments we have on offer. What's the best way to find investors that don't mind purchasing something that will be completed in the next 2 years? [link] [comments] |
| Homelight's 26 recommended questions when interviewing buyer's agents. Posted: 23 Aug 2020 09:47 PM PDT |
| How do you guys deal with nervousness and fear before buyer presentations and listing presentations Posted: 23 Aug 2020 03:27 PM PDT I just did a zoom meeting and i was nervous as hell. The buyer was a great guy he did say he was talking to other agents etc. I feel like I bombed this. I stuttered and stumbled a lot. I probably need to practice more on buyer presentations.. i feel embarresed after that meeting. Should i keep going with this client? Idk can anyone relate? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone getting their real estate license currently in Texas? Posted: 23 Aug 2020 07:27 PM PDT We're in a very unique position and I was wondering if anyone else has been doing any online real estate course to get licensed. I'm thinking about doing it as a part time side hustle but rules and regulations seem to be changing due to Covid-19. Tests can't be proctored anymore in person so is it just all online and you have to wait to get your actual license or what? Please share your experience taking an online real estate course as well if you can. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 12:55 PM PDT I'm helping build a bot for engaging and qualifying seller leads. I was hoping some of you could provide me with some insight as to what things are most prominently on sellers minds, so I can account for them in the bot. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 06:35 PM PDT In this new world we live in where things are selling way above list price, how do you gently tell new buyers to piss or get off the pot. Especially if they need sellers concessions. I email them 10 sales that closed in 7 days that are way above asking. Does any one have a more effective way. [link] [comments] |
| Discussions amongst Realtors - a slack channel? Posted: 23 Aug 2020 02:21 PM PDT Hey guys, I'm looking for a community of real estate agents. A place (ie slack channel) where open conversations take place, people share ideas, provide feedback, and help each other out. For example, in digital marketing, there's Online Geniuses - an incredible community providing each other feedback and discussing the latest tech. What I'm seeking is to understand what's important for real estate agents in terms of technology and build solutions they request. Anyone stumbled upon a place like that? [link] [comments] |
