| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 10:59 AM PDT Even on the listing side. Even after all the paperwork is done you will still get bothered with tenant headaches 🤦♂️ I honestly think I make about 5 pesos an hour on these things. It's less work to sell a place sometimes and it pays 10x more [link] [comments] |

| Any orlando area teams recruiting? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 11:44 AM PDT Planning on having my license by the end of the year, I'm doing a one month school course in October. I was hoping I could possibly get in contact with any teams in the orlando area and get a feel for what it's like and possibly start talking to someone about joining their team. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 10:43 AM PDT Hey guys I am a new Realtor, started in February of 2020. I am working on my third sale as of now. I work a full time job and do this on the side but I have big dreams and aspirations but we all get in the dumps. Especially when majority of your leads are trash and life takes turns. So I'm asking for recommendations on self help/motivational books that you guys have liked. Doesn't have to pertain particularly to real estate. Just with success, motivation etc. Thanks in advance!

| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 09:56 AM PDT After being self employed, in electronic sales all my life, I'm now interested in a career in real estate. Will I need to fill out the moral fitness determination form, even thought I'm not a convicted felon? I had 2 instances, (1) 7 years ago and (1) 17 years ago in which I received deferred adjudication/non convictions. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 09:51 AM PDT My wife and I purchased a house in 2015 and our mortgage payment was $900 on a $120,000 home.We got an FHA loan etc, etc then I lost my job (I was there primary source of income at the time) and the mortgage payment jumped to $1200 because the county didn't change their property assessment until after we moved in, so we got screwed on taxes. We could no longer afford this house. We tried to sell the house for a while, then gave up, moved out in Feb 2017 into a rental property in a different city and began the short sale process. Finally selling it in June 2018, we're still renting, my wife is employed by the government with an income considerably larger than before. I worked at a restaurant that closed due to Covid and am presently out of work until our new restaurant is built and open in the fall. We're now looking at a new property for around $230,000 and trying to get a loan, but three different lenders have told us that we need to wait 2 years to apply for a new FHA. Everything I have researched has given me so many different numbers. Is it waiting 2 years? 3 years? There are supposed to be "exceptions" due to extenuating circumstances such as ours but it's never defined. Is this up to the lender? I feel like a chunk of these articles is missing. I'm going to cross post in other threads, if anyone has any advice, it's most appreciated and I'll try to answer any questions promptly. [link] [comments] |
| Tips for affording start up costs to get my license! Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:54 AM PDT Any tips are welcome apart from scholarships or grants (just because they're impossible to find right now, and my brokerage that I'll be with doesn't offer financial assistance). Thank you!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:50 AM PDT I'm currently studying to pass my Texas Real Estate License Exam and have been reading many posts regarding best study tips. I have the Champions School of Real Estate exam prep course and am currently working through that. Are there any other practice tests or methods of studying you would recommend? Thank you so much!

| Has anyone here taken a course from Kevin Ward? More specifically Agent Power Launch? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 07:49 PM PDT I'm thinking of getting my license in a few months and I want to prepare. This is a major career change for me and I don't want to be naive but I still have a lot to learn and not knowing anyone in the biz I would like to have a reliable resource for additional training that has been valuable to people and isn't just fluffy words. Does anyone have experience with Kevin Ward's courses? [link] [comments] |
| What times do you normally prospect/call potential leads? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:52 PM PDT (Tldr at end) Hi guys, new Realtor here. Honestly I'm psyched to get started, and I'm not afraid to put myself out there. However, as far as calling leads I've run into a weird problem with my broker. They're telling me (obviously at the end of the day I don't have to listen to them) the very first thing I should do everyday when I wake up is prospect leads from 8am-11am and that's what all their successful agents do. Now obviously, yes prospecting for 3 hours a day is great and will probably generate upwards of 2-3 appointments a week, but I'm mind of concerned about the reasoning behind the 8am start time? If I was a "lead" I would kill someone who called me at 8am to talk about real estate. In fact, the part that kind of sucks is I would honestly assume after 5pm would be the best for most people? Tldr: What time of day/day is the best time to call/prospect/potential leads. Also, am I wrong for assuming 8am is way to early on any given day? Edit: Wow I'm honestly surprised how many people are in favor of 8/9am calling. This is genuinely a lesson learned for me. I totally thought my broker was just weird for wanting us to call at 8am (which imo I'd be pissed if I got a call as soon as I woke up) [link] [comments] |

| Should I be wary of a non-compete clause in a brokerage contract? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 04:15 PM PDT I was interested in one brokerage until I read through the contract. From what I can tell this non compete clause basically bars me from being able switch brokerages locally. So if it doesnt work out, and i dont like their brokerage if i want to continue to do real estate Ill have to drive to a totally different market from my local one or wait a year. This seems way too restrictive. Am i understanding this correctly? Here is the text:

| Is non-refundable earnest money common? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 05:48 PM PDT I have an offer in on a home, and the seller is saying the earnest money absolutely has to be non-refundable. He just got his own home inspection back in March, and did many of the repairs that the inspector recommended. The only thing holding us up from being under contract is that he wants the EMD 100% non-refundable. We're for the most part ok with this, but requested in the last counter offer that if our "inspection reveals anything in immediate need of repair in excess of $10k, the EMD is refundable." He won't even entertain this. We've come to agreement on the price, and if he's confident in the recent inspection and repairs he did, this condition should not be an issue. Is this common? It makes me think that he's hiding something that he knows if found out, will kill the deal. [link] [comments] |
| How do I get realtors to stop calling me for a property I don't own? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 02:58 PM PDT Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I didn't know where else to post. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 07:35 PM PDT I work with a land developer and am trying to get in contact with land owners in my area. I've tried sending quite a few letters recently and have only been able to get 2 to call me out of about 500 letters that I've sent. With such a low response rate (0.4%) I'm thinking it may be my verbiage. I'm sure I'm getting opens as I do a handwritten "invitation" style letter but the inside is printed font and pretty straight forward. Do any of you have any advice on verbiage that would convert to a higher response? Thanks!!! [link] [comments] |
| Postcard Mailing Services/Preferences? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 01:31 PM PDT Hello all! Wondering what service you use for mailing postcards. I've used Rocket Print & Mail through REMINE a few times, though I know there are many other options available. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] |
| Listing an Airbnb with a 90%+ rental rate... Posted: 27 Aug 2020 06:55 PM PDT It's on a river, been recently renovated and is located in a famously scenic setting. Due to its popularity, it can only be shown about four days a month. I'm looking for ways to turn this situation to our advantage, marketing-wise. Something something, people crave what they are denied... Anyone have experience with, or ideas for? TIA [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 02:02 PM PDT Hi im a realtor in Vancouver and I've been with a company thats a little cheaper on the fees but they dont give no leads. I've done 3 deals in the last 18 months. Training is okay as well. Now I'm in a dilemma of whether I should join the team or just be a solo agent on my own. [link] [comments] |
| Does your brokerage really matter? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 05:35 PM PDT If so, what are some important things, besides splits of course that help you succeed at any given brokerage? [link] [comments] |
| Agents that recently have started in the business? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 05:31 PM PDT How is it for you starting during the pandemic? Do you feel it was worth starting or do you wish you would have waited? Also if you reply are you on a team or on your own? Trying to see if it's worth starting now or waiting until maybe a few months hopefully things calm down. [link] [comments] |
| Can realtors legally lie about the price of the work that needs to bring house up to code? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:08 PM PDT Bellevue, wa (seattle suburb) House built in 1961. furnace heating (no oil heater or whatever it's called) Foundation is cracked due to water damage and needs to be propped up to fix. Few other things I do not know that needs to be brought up to code (wiring i THINK) I know for 100% fact that the actual owner knows the real price of everything that needs to be done, i am just weary of the realtor lying to get the sale. If you are familiar with the area, and can give me a ballpark of the costs so I have more info to know if realtor lies would be very helpful! House listing price: just shy of 1.2mil [link] [comments] |
| Question about Cartus owned property Posted: 27 Aug 2020 04:38 PM PDT Can buyer go directly to Cartus (relocation company) to purchase a property Cartus owns or will Cartus direct them to their agent? Edit to add: We made an offer on a home (using a realtor). We learned there is another offer and were told they are working with Cartus directly (no realtor). [link] [comments] |
