| Anyone leave corporate life to be a realtor? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:15 AM PDT Hey all, I currently work in corporate finance. Love the stability/salary, but I just really don't find it very interesting. I've always loved real estate, and urbanism/neighborhoods. I live in Chicago, and have flirted with going into Urban planning, but don't want to just wind up getting stuck at another desk job with a more interesting paint job. Does anyone have experience using realty as an exit opportunity from corporate life? Does a degree in finance/experience give anyone any special legs up? Just want to know what other people's experience has been. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| PA State Real Estate Exam Tips? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 07:06 AM PDT Hi there! I'm only a week out from my state exam here in PA. Does anybody have any tips/must knows going into it? I know PSI had a mock-test to take, if anyone has any experience with that please do share. Quite nervous for the test, it's been 5 weeks since I passed my last course exam due to no testing openings. Nervous that I didn't retain enough. Any tips, tricks, or advice would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Outbound Engine - Marketing Services Posted: 02 Sep 2020 12:41 PM PDT Hello, has anyone used Outbound Engine for marketing services in the real estate industry? If so, what was your experience? Good, bad, and why? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| MHFA (Military Housing Assistance Fund) Posted: 02 Sep 2020 12:18 PM PDT Hi Im currently active duty military and I was looking into grants that could cover my closing costs and I ran into this. Does anyone have any experience with this grant? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Sep 2020 12:17 PM PDT For those agent who have their GRI, do you feel that by having this designation it's helped you win more business and clients? If so how do explain the benefit of working with a agent who has their GRI versus someone who does not? Reason why I'm asking is because I have to do my 90 hours of SAE and I'm thinking about getting this designation since it will satisfy the full 90 hours, but just want to see if there's really a benefit(besides the in-depth education) when it comes to clients. TIA. [link] [comments] |
| Highest Sale gift for agents from Broker Posted: 02 Sep 2020 08:03 AM PDT Hey guys! I'm surveying to see what you all think are good ideas to congratulate RE for their biggest sale. And gifts you've gotten in the past that you really loved? Also ideas for birthdays and anniversary with the brokerage. Thanks for your feedback! [link] [comments] |
| What is the best option for an overseas realtor? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:44 AM PDT I am a partner in a real estate business overseas but I live in the US. Many of our clients are asking about purchasing RE in the US so I was wondering if it will be worthwhile for me to get my RE license. I live in CA so RE is very expensive here and may not be the best fit for my clientelle. I think they would prefer to buy properties in the 150-350K range. What is the best option for me: Do I become a realtor in CA and then refer business to realtors in other states? Not bother with the licensing and partner with a nationwide real estate firm to service my clients and do a commission split? (is this allowed) Would it be better to register my overseas company as a US RE broker instead? What are the costs associated with this Any other better options? Thanks in advance for any input.

| Lead Generation Service With Follow Up Posted: 02 Sep 2020 10:17 AM PDT Have any of you guys paid a marketing company that does Facebook ads, plus follows up for you and qualifies them and set an appointment for you? The cost is $5k for 3 months with ad spend included. They say the average realtor that uses their service closes 2-5 deals in the in 3 months. They are also guaranteeing 1 closed sale in the 3 months or I get a full refund of my $5k back. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] |
| Live in Arizona but want to be licensed in Colorado? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 09:54 AM PDT I've got an opportunity to work as a licensed agent in colorado, but i live in arizona. Can i have a colorado license and do deals in colorado, while living in Arizona? The plan is to eventually move to Colorado, but that will take me a year. I have an Arizona license. If I get the Colorado license, is it ok to work from Arizona through the Colorado brokerage? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:23 PM PDT Hey everyone, I'm beginning to have a really worrying feeling that I made a mistake joining the team that I did for my first place to hang my license. We're with eXp, which I really like, and I am getting some great training but I'm not getting any leads and I'm now getting the same work my sphere crap I got from Keller Williams. I want to start making a lead gen machine but I'm getting the vibe the team's model doesn't line up with how I see my business. Am I being impulsive? Should I just ride it out and trust their process? They're pretty successful, but how much does fit matter? [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations on broker prep course? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 08:56 PM PDT Hi I already have my California salesperson license. I'm interested in getting a broker's licensee in CA. I've used allied before as the pre-licensing course. I realized allied isn't the best for exam prep - they're just good for getting the certificate. They don't teach you any tips or tricks or what to expect on the exam besides "just know everything." Do you have any recommendations on broker courses, especially ones that have exam prep as the focus ? I used prep agent for my salesperson license and found it much more intuitive and easy to prep with them than with allied. They don't have a broker course so that's why I was wondering if there are good online courses for the broker exam? [link] [comments] |
| How can I trick my (multi-billionaire Hong Kong) landlord to not raise my commercial lease's price? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 11:24 PM PDT I run an essential business in Hong Kong. I lease 900 sq. ft. for $20K USD/month. 1 USD = 7.8 HKD. I already included the "Management Fee and A/C charges" at $3 psf/month. Moving isn't an option, because even after this rental hike, this premise is the cheapest. HK's real estate tycoons control all the real estate. My multi-billionaire landlord want to increase my lease by $5K USD/month, notwithstanding the political protests, COVID19. How can I (legally) gull them into keeping my lease price? I'm thinking of creating another email with a fake name, to pretend to be interested in the current premise. Then I'll make extremely low offers, to try to convince them that other lessees are worse and I'm offering far more money. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2020 01:40 PM PDT Hello! I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post but I wanted to get some real feedback and questions answered instead of just googling everything. I'm 20(f) and I'm wanting to get into real estate in Arkansas. I currently work for the corporate side of a very well known company but always see people making side cash or even a living out of realty. I know right now sales probably aren't poppin' because of the whole pandemic but I believe I could focus on really studying and getting to know the industry as well as my license during this time. I was wondering what your best advice would be for breaking into the business, networking, and becoming successful would be. Thank you in advance! Edit* spelling [link] [comments] |
| Why do I have to put on a VR helmet when I want to buy a real estate property Posted: 02 Sep 2020 05:55 AM PDT Real estate marketing and sales face new challenges. Traditional approaches have to be transformed in order to bring fresh ideas to attract new customers and boost sales. Real estate companies have already embraced new technologies to step further to enterprise 4.0. Virtual reality technology is one of the trends. What is important is not only to immerse your customers into the virtual location but to customize every interaction with your clients based on their preferences to smooth customer journey maps. That's why uniting VR and CRM integration, unique properties demonstrations are organized while staying attuned to your customers' needs. Even in a post-COVID world, when people care about health and safety. [link] [comments] |
| Suggestions for video/webinar continuing education courses? (California) Posted: 01 Sep 2020 07:47 PM PDT I need to finish my continuing education hours to renew my California agent's license. Are there any good courses/providers that offer a webinar/online video format? I did First Tuesday books last cycle and it worked out fine, but I absorb information better in an audio-visual format.

| Mortgage Person Email - Appraisal Appeal HELP! Posted: 01 Sep 2020 05:48 PM PDT Is the below rationale by the appraiser correct? Appraisal appeal. I honestly feel after reading this the mortgage company, mortgage insurance company and appraiser are all in bed together. Like a serious love triangle that I don't get to be part of.... "Just to temper expectations, the three pending sales won't be useable as they need to be closed sales. There's about four comps that are NW of Xxx and five miles from our property that I don't believe the appraiser will consider. Two of the appraisers comps were about 2.5 miles aware from our subject, while the other four were less than 1 mile so five miles will be a stretch for the appraiser. 1 banana lane is a six bedroom property so that will also be out. Only 2-3 of these are what the appraiser will consider as "solid potential comps," and keep in mind that the appraiser also felt justified in his value through comps that were less than 1 mile away that have settled in the last four months. I reminded the appraiser in my appeal that this was in a multi bid situation and the appraisal is meant to support the home value. As a consumer Ralph, you don't see these often like Rich and I do, so I'm just trying to educate you on the various factors at play so we have a realist expectation. Let me know how else I can help!
