| How do you cope with the stress of closings? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 07:19 AM PDT I have been an agent for a little over a year. It feels like 90% of my closings have been beyond stressful. There's always something that comes up last minute that delays the whole process. As a realtor, how do you deal with this? Knowing there's only so much you can do, like continually following up with the other agent, the bank, etc. Most times things are out of my hands and I am waiting on someone else to do their job. I am beyond frustrated (currently in a closing that's been pushed back 5 days w no end in sight). [link] [comments] |
| Who to contact if client is interested in a property. Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:36 AM PDT I have a client ready to put in offers but the listing agent won't pick up their phone. Oh the frustration. [link] [comments] |
| Should I, as a realtor, be more skeptical on inspection reports? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 06:52 AM PDT Hi everybody, I've been a realtor for about 10 months now and one of the problems I've encountered a few times comes from inspection reports and negotiating repairs. My ATAC's are are typically around 20 or 22 items long, with my most recent being 30 items long. A common theme I'm hearing especially from contractors that are selling a flip that my buyers are purchasing, is that inspectors will make problems seem worse than they actually are so you keep having to order re inspections from them. Most recently, my client purchased every type of inspection you could buy. The plumbing inspector wrote an inspection report with 14k in repairs/replacements with his company offering to do the work. I incorporated most of this into my amendment, with the seller begrudgingly agreeing. Now most of the work is done, but he is pushing back on a sewer line replacement. The sewer line is brand new, and the report says it was incorrectly installed and has settled into the ground causing it to hold water. He is saying that his people put a camera in there and there is less than a half inch of water. He is also saying that some one from the city came and looked at it and said that if it was going to cause a problem, it would have already caused it within the last 6 months of use. He is now offering a written 2 year warranty where he will pay for any problems that may come from this sewer line. I'm obviously not a plumber and not qualified to make a determination on who is bsing, the contractor or the inspector. So my question to y'all is, from your experience how often do you find that inspectors stretch the truth for their own game? Is this common, or am I just going to have to be a firmer negotiator when the seller pulls stuff like this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Sep 2020 11:40 AM PDT I am currently a licensed and active Salesperson in Nevada. My wife and I are considering a move within the next few years to Tennessee. From what I gather the equivalent Nevada Salesperson license would be an affiliate broker in TN? After some looking around on the TN website it appears I would be able to waive the national portion of the test but still need to take the TN law test. I am also a bit confused on if I am able to obtain the TN license before moving there and before joining a TN brokerage. Is it best to contact a local school for exact requirement? Any input from any TN agents is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Collaborative software for smaller brokerages? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 09:02 AM PDT I (26) just started at a brokerage as an apprentice. I'm waiting to get my driving test and subsequent licence, so I'm mostly office-based for now, which is great- I'm learning a lot about what else is done behind the scenes. My only problem is the lack of communication and collaboration within the team. I'm trying to do up paperwork on listings and negotiations, but I'm not getting crucial information like final listing price etc. The agents consistently fail to share important details with the Office Manager- like vendors' names, or phone numbers, or email, or all of the above. Before real estate, I was marketing for IT. I know of some really great collaboration software, but nothing that's cheap enough for a smaller office of five. What do you use, or what have you used in the past? [link] [comments] |

| MLS search on your website - do you use it? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 04:14 PM PDT Do you guys use an MLS widget for on your personal website so buyers can exclusively use your website for their home search? I hear some agents swear by it while others say it's not necessary at all. If you do, which service do you use? [link] [comments] |
| Is There a Place To Post a Real Estate License Business? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 08:13 PM PDT Does anyone know a place where people who just got their real estate licenses have to post them. Like when you get a new business and you have to post your business license. I'm an interior designer and would love to connect to real estate professionals and real estate developers for their future projects. Any suggestions would really help. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Why do realtors not always mention creative Financing or locking up wi5 an option to buy? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 07:15 PM PDT These things seem like the serve the clients fiduciary interest the best but I've never received training instructing me to explain or push for these concepts in my agency?

| Value in buyers agent incentives Posted: 15 Sep 2020 04:52 PM PDT Hey all, Does anyone have any experience or feedback in providing incentives for buyers agents for the sale of a property? An example would be something along the lines of "$2500 commission bonus for contract before ______". I currently have a listing that has gone quiet and the sellers, along with myself, agree that we are priced appropriately. From my point of view the buyer themselves will want to see / offer on a property and the agent getting a boost in commission won't change much. We have dropped the price numerous times and this seems to be a lack of buyers in the market situation. [link] [comments] |
| Worth it to get license in Chicagoland area Posted: 15 Sep 2020 04:31 PM PDT I'm considering getting out of my current career field and going back into real estate. Just need to know where to start and if it is a wise career change. I worked as an assistant and the eventually an acquisitions manager for a local real estate investment company and I enjoyed the work. I have a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Finance, and I currently drive semis. I would like to do something that is more polite to family life as well as being safer. I currently make 1k/wk before taxes and would like to know if this number is possible to meet or break? Is the carrer field worth it in the suburbs of Chicago? I've always had an interest in real estate, just never pursued anything further with it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 01:49 PM PDT Good afternoon ladies and gents, There was a website where I could input features of a property, and it would write a description for me. The website is no longer working, so I'm reaching out to see if there is another similar website. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| I am a buyer and my Realtor won't negotiate the extension Posted: 15 Sep 2020 01:40 PM PDT My purchase offer said my close date would be 9/15/20 and that my sellers could occupy the home for 6-15 days after the close. I regretted this immediately after I signed because I was told verbally that it was 6-8 days so now I'm reading everything super carefully. Anyway, now our close day is being pushed back 3 days and my realtor wants me to sign an extension addendum to the purchase offer with all the same terms. I told her I wouldn't sign it unless we changed the sellers occupancy from 6-15 days to 6-12 days since I will be homeless if they try to occupy beyond the 12th day. My realtor assured me I could put in my 30 days notice at my apartment and I did and now I am scared and thinking there's no way my sale and the sellers new home they are buying are going to close on time and I don't want to be held liable when they overstay and I'm in some hotel and had to buy a uhaul just to move stuff into a storage unit for a month or whatever. My realtor says she can't change the days from 6-15 to 6-12 or we won't close on the reschedule date. I think it shouldn't take that long to make one little change and get signatures from all the parties. I know they are busy right now but I think my realtor is trying to bully me so she doesn't have to do more paperwork for a buyer she won't make a lot of money from. I am not trying to be difficult but I've talked to her about this every step of the way and she's acting like I'm crazy. Am I being overly difficult? It seems like if the sellers really will get out with plenty of time before 10/1 then why would they balk at adjusting the date in the paperwork so that it reflects the real agreement?
