| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 07:10 AM PST Hey guys I've been licensed since September and I just put my second listing under contract! No other transactions though. I feel like I can be doing more but working with buyers is tough in this market! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 04:56 PM PST Everyone, I'm doing it. I'm quitting my crappy 9-5 sales job (with awful pay) and putting all of my time and energy into real estate. I've been part time for two months and I know how grueling it is. I have two closings coming up and I'm joining a great team in my area. Just wanted to share my excitement with you guys. I'm am grateful for this thread and all of the wisdom I've found on it. [link] [comments] |
| New and getting cold shouldered by everyone at my brokerage... Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:59 AM PST So I got licensed at the beginning of the month. I landed my first listing (hooray) and for some reason since then, I've been getting cold shouldered by everyone at my brokerage. My mentor has dropped the ball multiple times and seems to care less about any questions i have. I am not your typical agent, meaning I'm not super preppy (no offense to anyone meant at all, I just don't know how else to put it), and I'm starting to wonder if I should just find a different place to hang my license. I am so uncomfortable every time I set foot in the office now. Has anyone else experienced this? What'd you do? Suggestions? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Thoughts on the new proposed $15,000 tax credit? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 07:51 AM PST Was reading a bit on it today and it seems great for buyers, except what we're missing right now is sellers! There's nothing for these buyers to buy. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 11:55 AM PST Does anyone use ListingsToLeads.com ?? Is it worth it? Seems like a great tool [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 11:49 AM PST I just ordered my new Yard signs for my new company today. They come with these small metal clips that keep the sign & riders in place. I have no clue how to put these on. If any of you know what I'm talking about, and have a sign they can share a photo of please do. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 10:47 AM PST Hey guys, I'm a new agent and I've been working really hard on my proactive lead generation. I've gotten pretty good and getting seller leads and that's worked out great for me. However I'm finding that I have to take a lot of time off my prospecting because I have a lot of admin work that has to be done for them. Do you guys use assistants or a transaction coordinator to help with this? If so where would be the best place to get one? [link] [comments] |
| Reputable real estate license schools? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 10:03 AM PST Hello! I'm 24 (f) looking to start in real estate in Los Angeles but not sure where to begin. It seems the general consensus is any school will do? But where does it matter? Sort of like how undergrad is said to be less important than grad — how does that apply in Real Estate? Genuine advice would appreciated, thank you! [link] [comments] |
| tools for finding nearby schools, grocery etc Posted: 29 Jan 2021 10:00 AM PST I'm a newer agent and for showings I'm finding it really time consuming to look on google maps at an address and try and find nearby schools, grocery, restaurants, hospitals etc. Is there a tool out there for realtors that you can pop in an address and it just provides those things? I live in Canada btw so hopefully something that works here too [link] [comments] |
| I have a doubt about this Reddit Posted: 29 Jan 2021 12:41 AM PST I'm new on Reddit; I came to this website because I hear from many people this is the best place to promote your business and youtube videos, get leads, collabs, ask for reviews, etc. But I see you cannot self-promote or send your links or write a post inviting the people to watch your educational videos in many places. In my case, we work with several YouTube Channels and different realtors, landlords, loan officers, investors; we want to know if we can create posts and promote our channels here. Can someone help me out with this, please? [link] [comments] |
| So confused. Any advice is appreciated Posted: 28 Jan 2021 06:51 PM PST My wife and I began searching for a home in the fall. We quickly got our pre-approval and certificate of eligibility from the VA. We found the home that we had dreamed of at the beginning of November. (We live in a rural area where everyone is familiar with one another). Our realtor is a long-time friend of mine and was brutally honest throughout the duration of the process. He mentioned that the selling agent told him numerous times that it was a waste to show the house because according to her "it will never pass a VA appraisal". Our realtor encouraged to move forward only if it was the home that we wanted and that if not, we could continue looking. We made our offer which was quickly accepted and signed a contract on the 15th of November. The only modification to the contract was the seller/selling agent requesting that the negotiation period be cut from 10 days to 5. We happily agreed as we were eager to own our (hopefully) forever home. My deposits were made and our inspection was completed within a week. Our only requests were small things with the exception of two bathrooms being repaired that were completely inoperable, yet was never disclosed by the selling agent or the advertisements. They promptly agreed to our terms and the VA appraisal was ordered. The appraisal was returned on the 15th of December. The value came in exactly where it needed to be and the repairs required for the VA loan totaled at most $2k, of which were the same repairs that I requested to be made after my inspection. Flash forward to the week of our estimated closing date of January 15th. We scheduled a meeting with the selling realtor at the home to see if there was anything that still needed to be completed. The selling realtor did not show, but the owner of the home did come and speak to us and let us know that she didn't really know what to do or where to start. No repairs had been completed whatsoever. I confided in my realtor about my disappointment. We did buy down our interest rate to 2.5% and every extension to our closing date saw our cost to close rising. Having knowledge of the selling realtor, he disclosed that she had other offers on the table and didn't seem eager to complete our transaction. I cannot say for certain, but I am assuming at least one of those offers includes her as the dual agent. My realtor contacted the selling realtor and made mention of her not showing up and that we were supposed to close in five days. Things progressed and all necessary repairs were completed in less than a week. This brings us to this week. The only thing to our knowledge remaining was receiving the final appraisal inspection. It was then that we were notified that there was an issue with the drain field that unexpectedly had to be repaired. This was known for over two weeks, but no one from the selling side made us aware of this. In an attempt to figure out what was going on, I contacted the septic company ran by a friend of mine. He stated that he has been waiting for nearly two weeks just to be told when and where to put the new drain field. At this point I am furious. I contacted my title company to speak with them regarding moving the closing date from our now scheduled date of February 1st. It was at this time in which the title agent let me know that the selling realtor had told her to not complete any title searches because the deal was "going to fall through, anyway". This event occurred only two weeks ago as well. (She forwarded the email to me regarding her comment). Here we are with no set closing date, closing costs growing, a lease that expires on Sunday, and me leaving with the army in the middle of February, leaving my wife and two young children home to handle this mess. What can I do? What should I do? Is this normal? Am I being irrational? Quick side note, my client care specialist that has been handling my loan, has cc'ed me on all communications that he has had, just so that I was always in the loop. In every single communication between him and the selling realtor, I was removed by her. Edit: I apologize for being so long-winded while also being new to reddit. I wanted to paint the whole picture. My wife suggested posting our situation here, because, well, you guys and gals are a lot smarter than I am. [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone ever used those "text for instant info" sign riders for their listings? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 01:58 PM PST If so, what was your experience like? Did you get more leads? -Were you happy with the product? (i.e. the interface) -What did you pay for it and do you feel that was worth it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 01:55 PM PST Last year my partner and I found a perfect home in a soon to be developed subdivision. It was both affordable and in a fantastic area - a rarity for our part of California. We found a realtor online from a reputable agency and pulled the trigger! Closing is due to happen this August so we've been running around trying to arrange everything. Over the past year our realtor has been seemingly well meaning but has provided us with incorrect legal and financial information at times. This could have resulted in a huge financial hit to us but luckily we caught these errors while speaking with the developers and lenders. One of our larger concerns is that our realtor has missed or been late to several meetings and calls. This happened a few times last year so I mentioned it to her. She seemed surprised and honestly did not realize it was happening. No biggie, odd ball things happen from time to time. Fast forward to today and our realtor still continues to miss calls and meetings. She often provides information at odds with what we are hearing from lenders, the developer and other parties. She can also take several weeks to respond to questions that I ended up having to resolve through Googling. We signed the purchase agreement last year with the developer. Our realtor also signed the agreement as our realtor. We don't believe she is acting in our best interest or with reasonable care. She has complained that she is doing more than she is required to. The developer says we can't have another realtor take over because the current realtor is mentioned on the contract. What are our options at this point? TLDR: Realtor signed the purchase contract as our realtor but she gives incorrect info, takes weeks to respond and misses meetings. What can we do? [link] [comments] |
