| Should I call back on a lead, no matter what time it is? Posted: 07 Dec 2020 05:25 AM PST I'm still within my first year, and have recently made the decision to join someone in creating a team. He is wonderful and we're really looking forward to this. He just started paying for realtor.com leads, mostly for my benefit, which we started receiving about 2 weeks ago. So far we've both called, text, and emailed every lead with no immediate results, but they have been actual people which is promising. Most of the time, the leads have area codes from other states. So to get to my question, if I get a lead at 5:30am, is it realistic to call on it immediately even though it's very early here? We have an auto text set up that asks when is a good time to call, but I feel like I let this one slip and should have jumped on it... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2020 12:11 PM PST I have been struggling with the decision of becoming a realtor for the past few months. I entertained becoming a realtor since I was 18, it all started when my parents purchased their first house and our realtor was doing a terrible job. I went on MLS and found the perfect property for my parents, we got an amazing deal in a great part of town. I purchased my first property at 19 and became interested in real estate investing. I veered off that path for a bit and started my own business which I have recently sold. I am now 26 and have to decide which my next path will be. I can spend endless hours on the MLS looking at deals, I really enjoy the "hunt" when it comes to finding a good investment property. Unfortunately the biggest thing holding me back right now is my lack of confidence. I am not the type of person to strike up conversation with the first random person I come across. I actually dislike talking to people most of the time, even tho its something I crave. I find it difficult to label myself as an introvert or an extrovert, some days you'd think I am very extroverted and some days I am very introverted. I am also really bad at maintaining relationships, I don't text or call old friends because I find it a bit awkward, I feel like this would really hurt my real estate career. I have a lot of hope that becoming a salesperson will give me that confidence I have been chasing, if I fake it long enough I will make it. I feel really good when I think about dressing well every day, driving a nice car and those thoughts give me confidence. has this happened to any one? becoming a realtor made them confident or you eventually became this person that you envisioned? is there certain redflags or traits that I should identify, which would make me an unsuccessful agent?

| Following up with 100's of online leads? Posted: 07 Dec 2020 07:42 AM PST Earlier this year I invested in a Facebook marketing program that's been bringing me a lot of leads, which is great, but it quickly became overwhelming to manage the follow up. The leads are on an automatic drip campaign, but so far I've only been able to convert leads by calling them asap and building rapport that way. Due to the volume of leads I'm getting and my busy schedule, many leads are slipping through the cracks. I'm considering either hiring and training someone to do the initial calls for me, or working with an ISA company that specializes in this sort of thing. Does anyone here have experience with this sort of situation and could perhaps offer some insight? [link] [comments] |
| Why do Realtors lie over petty shit? Posted: 07 Dec 2020 12:29 PM PST For the record, I'm a realtor. So here I am, in realtor circles, so I have a lot of friends that are realtors. The amount of petty lies is so fucking stupid. Today, a realtor showed me a picture and said, "look what my inspector put in his inspection report yesterday" First, I've seen it a million times. Second, it has a date on it of 10/20/20. So, sure, "yesterday's report". 🙄 Last week a different realtor posted a story and had all the details changed to be local. "I was on XXX street and I saw ZZZ" type story. I have seen the same story posted many times, it's not even a good story, why share it and make it look like it's your story? Wouldn't bug me if they had treated it like a story but they treated it like it was real life. I mean, damn, last month I posted a story on my newsfeed, something that actually happened... and I saw a realtor post it with their own info. Wtf? Wasn't anything personal, just really annoying. I know it's petty but why can't people just not make up petty lies. Those people suck. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 Dec 2020 08:51 AM PST Has anyone tried Brandon's Reverse selling program? There's is so many coaches out there's for agents but he does provide a lot of information for free vs paying $3k for the coaching. I like his stuff but that's a lot of $ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2020 08:27 AM PST Hi everyone, In my first year of selling real estate on a team. Long post. I was originally the assistant to said team for four years prior. To give some context, the team consists of the team lead, myself and an assistant (this position has a high turn over rate, this year they have been through two assistants already). The team lead recently started six new farms in our area. They are a well known agent in the community doing 40m in volume a year. Anyway, I am required to drop goodie bags and postcards in these farms. The bags take me anywhere from 3 hours a day, including the weekend. This isn't your average door knocking, due to COVID it's literally just me leaving the marketing on their doorstep. My name and number is no where on any marketing pieces. I am frustrated and feel like I am a glorified assistant/drop service that doesn't get paid. I am told that any leads I will get 20% but since my number isn't on the marketing, I have no way of knowing whether the team lead has received leads from it. I want to leave the team because I am so tired of getting screwed. The expectation is I drop in all six farms which is about 560 houses per farm. On top of all this, I am dropping to the team leads past client and sphere, as well as training her new assistant. I need help and advice desperately. Should I be grateful that I have a team lead that pays for the marketing pieces or is this an unnecessary tasks that they are asking of their only agent? I would love to hear some feedback from other agents that are on teams. What does your team provide? Am I better off looking to join another team? TLDR: Team lead expects me to drop in six farms a month for three hours a day, my name or number is not on the marketing pieces. I'm also expected to train their new hires. I joined real estate to become an agent and grow my business. Should I start looking elsewhere? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 Dec 2020 11:43 AM PST Hi everyone, I am a fairly new real estate agent. I am looking for a diverse real estate CRM. I need CRM features like
I have tried eWay CRM and a couple others, but it is not linking well with my MacBook Pro.... :/ Please throw me some suggestions to me. TIA! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2020 11:41 AM PST In negotiations now, we agreed to seller's first counter on price, house has been on the market for 4 months. They insisted 5 weeks to close. Our offer was for 8 weeks which is kind of a local standard. Its been over a week now and we haven't came to agreement. I don't want to be in a bind where seller can ask me for concessions to extend closing. My loan is simple, I have 30% down in cash, credit is good enough to get a freddie loan that only requires my W2, financial position is good enough I can carry mortgage on current house as well. Appraisals are going at a 10 day delay currently. Mortgage brokers are all saying 4-6 weeks is typical but they can't predict appraiser schedules over the holidays. Just wondering if I was missing a compromise, can a contract pre-authorize extensions? I am at 2.625%/30 with a 60 day lock but can get 2.5%/30 with a 30day lock so it would be beneficial to close faster for me. I predict we will bicker over repairs/inspection for a week or two. Seller agent has been really difficult to work with and mostly trying to avoid having to ask for extensions. Current owner is local Dr and it appears they moved out a couple months ago from a contract that fell through, likely in temporary housing now. [link] [comments] |
| ReMax vs Exp. What’s the catch on each? Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:47 AM PST Currently considering moving brokerages. Already have an Exp sponsor if I go that way. Interviewed both, most people already know about Exp's 80/20 split with $16k cap. What surprised me was ReMax claims to have a 95/5 split with a lower cap & low monthly desk fees go towards that cap. No trans fees. Obviously ReMax sounds like it would be the obvious choice, which of course leads me to the question: what's the catch?? If it's truly a 95/5 why aren't agents running to that particular franchise? I asked the broker to email me the split details so I had it in writing and it's been 2 hours and no email just yet...so now I'm really thinking something is up! Any ReMax bait & switch horror stories I can learn from? [link] [comments] |
| Becoming a realtor with anxiety, bi-polar depression, the list goes on. Posted: 07 Dec 2020 08:02 AM PST Sorry if this type of post isn't allowed here. I really do feel hopeless and stuck and I'm hoping for at least one person with a similar experience to shine some light my way. Here's where the problem starts. I haven't been very good with communication from a young age. Developed severe anxiety symptoms in high-school. A whole other host of issues came about that I can't even begin to address here. Now, I know that with my current knowledge of real estate investing and the practical ideas I have for growing a real estate business, I can make a career for myself. With my current mental blockades, however, I cannot do it solo. I can't sell myself. I can't put myself in front. I'm also getting older and what makes this battle with bi-polar disorder even more difficult is not having understanding family. So I need to move out as soon as possible. In fact, knowing how toxic my family environment is, it's my first goal to make and save enough to purchase my first property and get away. Put it this way: I can't grow my real estate career without moving out to improve my mental health. And I can't move away to improve my mental health without a stable job in a career that keeps my interest. So I feel stuck. What are the chances or ways of me being able to find someone to help grow their business with my current problems? Any advice on how I approach these issues? The first person who offered to work for me actually paid for my license course. He was very helpful and very kind but he wasn't very patient with what I'm dealing with and it made it very difficult to work for him. He came across as very loving but that changed very quickly when I discussed with him what I was struggling with (specifically ADHD / bipolar disorder). It sucks, because he knew about 60% of the problems I faced going into our mentorship relationship (he knew about the depression from my mom -- he sold her a home during this time -- and he knew about the toxic family environment). That's neither here nor there I suppose. TL:DR [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Dec 2020 08:29 PM PST Hi, redditors. Just curious if anyone has had a client use a St Joseph statue to help sell a home. I was doing my usual rabbit hole googling the other day and found out that Joseph is the patron saint of realty. Then I found a little statue for a few dollars on Amazon that they say you're supposed to bury. Well, we listed our house on Friday afternoon and had our first offer Saturday afternoon with four other offers to go over. So, has anyone heard of this / have dealt with it? [link] [comments] |

| Trying to get NJ license via PA coursework then taking 15 hr supplemental Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:16 PM PST Hey all Basically I'm trying to find an on demand course that I can do around my unpredictable schedule. I live in Philly and want to buy in Jersey. So having 2 licenses could be beneficial anyway. It seems that Jersey courses can't be taken on demand. Only virtually but with fixed schedules. PA offers it on demand it seems. So could I just get my PA license then immediately take the 15 hr supplemental course to qualify for the Jersey license? I could certainly manage a strict 15 hr course much easier than 75 hr. Anyway, just curious if y'all have experience or feedback. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| How to close buyers above 600k? Posted: 06 Dec 2020 03:59 PM PST It seems so difficult to close even anyone above 500k. Clients are always trying to get the best deal at that point either getting a discount broker to kickback commission or going directly to builders after you help them to buy without realtors. I even worked with people for 2 months spending hundreds of dollars in gas showing so many homes and they were looking up to 600k and when I found them the perfect home they told me they were going to use their family's realtor because he's their down payment lol.
