| Follow-up to open house thread! Posted: 01 Nov 2020 02:42 PM PST Thank you so much for everyone's support and kind words on my post here yesterday! I hosted my second open house today and 3 people showed up. I made friends with a closing agent who came by, and a neighbor dropped by and told me that her friend is interested in buying the place. All in all, it was very fun and felt so worth it. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:17 PM PST Am I just slow or is the national exam way harder than the states? on my State practice test I consistently get 90 percent on my practice I constantly get 76 or 75 it's so frustrating. [link] [comments] |
| New leasing agent--can I access MLS without joining the realtors assocation? Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:16 PM PST I was told by a number of agents at my brokerage that the MLS fee would be twice a year but that there was a way for me to avoid joining the association. My local association told me they didn't know that and I'd be required to join to gain access to their MLS. Do y'all know if there's any way to make that work? In November the fees are a bit much given you're paying next year's fees, as well, so I'm trying to avoid it if I can (especially since leasing is likely going to be less than a full-on broker for a while, yet). Anyone know? [link] [comments] |
| How do you handle clients who waste your time? Posted: 01 Nov 2020 06:55 PM PST I've been working with some clients (couple with no kids in their late 30s/early 40s) since late June. I took them to see over 20 properties and made multiple offers but due to the hot market, they got beat out each time. Got them into contract on a new build about an hour and a half away from our city in August. Everything was good, they said they didn't mind the hour commute to work and things were coming along. About three weeks ago they let me know they wanted to cancel escrow on the new build because they realized it was too far to commute after all. We went forward with the cancellation and they asked to see more properties in our city. I've now taken them to see almost 10 homes and they haven't wanted to make an offer on any of them. I've tried to get them to narrow down the neighborhood they want to be in but they're adamant they don't care as long as it matches their criteria. Well today I took them to see another home that was under their budget and fit all of their criteria. I asked if they wanted to make an offer right after the showing and they said they wanted to think about it a couple more hours. Then I texted them a few hours later to ask if they thought about it and they responded by saying they decided not to move forward with an offer and didn't want to waste my time. Ok, cool. I asked why they decided that (to get more insight) and he literally responded with "we just can't explain it." Um, what?? How can a grown adult not be able to explain what they don't like in a home? Usually my approach with clients is very patient, helpful, and not pushy at all, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if I need to be pushy with people like this. I know this is common so what do you guys do when you have a client like this? Any advice or different outlook is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Advice needed on a company set up Posted: 01 Nov 2020 05:47 PM PST I'm retired but hold a valid Broker's license in six States. A former colleague wants to operate in two of those States. He's asking me to allow him to work on an agreement that basically let's him source properties for a large institutional investor. He's licensed too but not in these states and in theory I'm ok with this especially since he can be doing 10-20 closings per month. I'm thinking a 90/10 commission split with his share being paid to his Broker in his home state. For my 10% I'll do what Brokers do. Watch transactions ensuring that they're being done correctly and keep paperwork for commission records. Anyone have any thoughts on this? [link] [comments] |
