    Best way to cut ties and send client to a referral agent?

    Posted: 21 Oct 2020 10:30 AM PDT

    I have some first time home buyer clients in their mid 20s. They're 2 sisters living with their parents (as is their culture and they will probably continue to do so until they marry). They say they're buying a home for the whole family but after dealing with them for over 2 months it appears that the parents don't seem to want to move at all but don't want to tell the daughters that and crush their dreams of buying them a home. The parents built their current house about 30 years ago and I found out through my own investigating that they are currently renovating it and adding on to it. Their current home is right next to the only worship center for the culture for at least 100 miles. I am beginning to think they will never really move as according to their commentary over the last 2+ months, nothing is ever as good as their house or their neighbors or their community. We've seen well over 20+ houses at this point and been in contract 3 times. 1st time it was decided the house wouldn't be well suited to the mother. 2nd time there were legitimate & serious inspection issues and they walked. 3rd time it the dad didn't like the location, thought it was too far away. The last time was just over a month ago. Since then, they send me requests for info on houses daily, then we'll see the houses and they never go any further with it. Something is ALWAYS wrong or not perfect, it's always tiny little nothing things like "oh the trim needs repainted" or "the toilet didn't flush fast enough" or "the sink pressure is too high" or "hmmm...we just don't know".
    Wash, rinse, repeat for another 5 straight weeks now. They are very qualified, pretty like able for the most part, but I feel like they are seriously wasting my time now. The problem is there's no real motivation to buy whatsoever. I truly believe the parents have already decided they aren't moving anywhere and are letting the girls play "grown up". No matter if we find the perfect house ultimately the daughters won't buy without their parent's approval. The ones they do offer on they want to lowball every single house, the latest the house was on the market for 1 day listed @ $349k, current owners bought at $305k and they made an offer at $290k. The listing agent basically told them to take a hike.
    I really like them as people but I'm getting wore out as their agent. I've already talked for another agent that I think will be a good fit for them & he's agreed to take them on, but how do I best go about passing the torch over to him without offending them? They've been around long enough to see me fire another buyer before and after cancelling the 3rd contract they joked that they hope I don't fire them. But that was 5 weeks and 10+ showings ago!
    Any advice on how to politely hand them over without burning any bridges??

    TLDR: Buyer's seem unmotivated, lowball every house, been showing for 2+ months, 20+ houses, in and out of contract 3 times. They're wearing me out and I'm sending them packing to another agent, how best do I hand them off without ruining any relationships or offending them?

    Representing 2 competing buyers on a single property

    Posted: 21 Oct 2020 10:31 AM PDT

    Is it dual agency if you represent two competing buyers on the same property or should you just refer one of the buyers out to a different agent?

    Farming Areas - Which Trend to Target?

    Posted: 21 Oct 2020 11:09 AM PDT

    As the title says. I'm looking at three seperate areas I'd like to target as a potential farm. Yet, they all have different trends in turnover rates.

    Zone 1 - Steadily increasing turnover rates - 4.9% in 2018, 6.65% in 2019, 8.23% in 2020 so far.

    Zone 2 - Generally steady turnover rate - 6.92% in 2018, 8.99% in 2019, 6.92% in 2020 so far.

    Zone 3 - Decreasing rates - 8.21% in 2018, 6.98% in 2019, 5.46% in 2020 so far.

    So really what I'm curious about is if it's generally better to target areas with an increasing rate of turnover, areas with steady turnover rates, or areas where people are staying longer and there's less turnover.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    RE agent in OH

    Posted: 21 Oct 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    I've completed my educational requirements to be an agent in Ohio. I don't think that I want to be a Realtor, but just an agent. While I know this means I wouldn't have access to tools that a Realtor has, what are some ways that I could work as an agent with this understanding?

    Realtors who are also investors, how do you manage your day?

    Posted: 20 Oct 2020 08:35 PM PDT

    I am trying to figure out how to be the most productive each a day and do the highest dollar activities possible. Most of my days are actually working on a house that I fix up to usually rent out. I was mudding a wall today and had the realization (as I've had many times) that I shouldn't be doing this, I should hire it out and be doing a higher dollar activity. Any advice on how you manage your day and manage to do the highest dollar activities each day is greatly appreciated!

    Could I be forced to leave a condo unit I own.

    Posted: 20 Oct 2020 06:29 PM PDT

    This is hypothetical. Lets say I own an individual condo unit. Is it possible that one day a developer or govt planning could force me to leave or sell my condo for the sake of new development?

    Has anyone ever heard or done training with Karen Coffey?

    Posted: 20 Oct 2020 06:09 PM PDT

    I am very skeptical about coaches and one of my friends asked me to listen to a free 45 minute video of hers. At the end she says you can schedule a free 45 minute session with Karen. I'm assuming that's where the high pressure sales will come. My friend really wants to do this and I don't want to be negative so I wanted to see if anyone has ever been coached by her or know how much it costs.

    Joining a Board. What's right?

    Posted: 20 Oct 2020 05:37 PM PDT

    I heard that when a Broker joins a Board all of the agents below him/her have to belong to a Board. Does anyone know if this applies to property management firms? Especially when the leasing team, while licensed, are employees who will never use the Board. Never use MLS.
