| Lesson Learned - Don’t do a listing presentation unless all parties are present Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:23 PM PST My neighbor called me to list her house. I looked at the tax records and realized 2 people were on the deed. I go to the house to give my listing presentation and realize she's alone. Me: Will Mr. Seller be joining us tonight? Seller: No. He's my son and he's in Florida. (I'm in Arizona) Me: Should we call him so he can hear what I have to say? Seller: No, he will sign. Don't worry. I proceed with the listing presentation. She likes it and wants to list it. She wants to underprice it by at least $25K. She signs the papers and gives me his son's email address for his e-signature. I email him Tuesday night Arizona time. She calls me Wednesday and says he didn't get the email. I send it again Wednesday night and nothing during Thursday. I ask her Friday morning about it and she says he's very busy, but he will sign it that night. Saturday afternoon she calls me to inform me that the son doesn't want to sign the papers and and he told his mom to stay out of it and let him handle it. From the son's perspective I'm probably a sketchy realtor taking advantage of his old mother and try to sell the house very cheap. If only he was there physically or on the phone to listen to my presentation. I probably should have insisted, but I trusted her and didn't want to push it. Well... lesson learned. What do you think I could have done differently? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 09:51 AM PST New agent here - wondering what the best advertising tool is? Most agents seem to say Facebook or Instagram. Any thoughts? How much do social media ads cost and for how long? Who do you use for social media ads? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:02 PM PST Hey friends. Just held my very first open house after only shadowing 1 other last month. It was a cluster to start and just wanted to share. Was supposed to meet my office manager at 8:30am to let me in so I can grab balloons, she never showed. Raced over to the neighborhood and set up my new signs along the way, and of course caught my finger in the very heavy metal a-frame sign. Then while taping my number to the callbox for visitors to text me for the gate code, I hit my head on the car door. Then when I get to the house, I realize I have almost no service there anyway. Luckily, had 4 visitors come through and only 1 had a realtor with them. So after a pretty chaotic morning, I guess everything worked out all right and I'm just getting bearings. Have another one tomorrow, so wish me luck! [link] [comments] |
| Where to Start? (Courses in Texas) Posted: 10 Jan 2021 08:31 AM PST Hello all, I am located in Texas and looking to pursue a license in real estate. I made it as far as finding the TREC government website and I'm looking for recommendations on course providers. Any recommendations? I found one named Van Education Center that seems financially reasonable, anyone here use them before? Thank you for the assistance! [link] [comments] |
| Why would a real estate agent become a Realtor? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 08:30 AM PST What's the benefit of joining the Realtor association and paying an extra ~$1,000 a year? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone regretting jumping to boutique? Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:44 PM PST I've got a couple years experience with a larger shop. I've gotten precious little out of the arrangement and I'm talking with a 100% split boutique firm. It seems like a no brained to me, useful CRM and Document Manager, $20/month fees, very low transaction fees, E/O Ins. included. I've only known a world where I had a very well known logo on my business card, but I'm not certain a single client has really cared what company I was affiliated with. Has anyone made the jump to boutique and regretted it? [link] [comments] |
| What makes a good place to be a real estate agent? Posted: 09 Jan 2021 05:10 PM PST I am a teen trying to learn about real estate and I was just wondering what would make a location good or bad to be a real estate agent. Cities? Towns? Expensive markets? thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Need advice on the deal (commercial ) Posted: 09 Jan 2021 08:16 PM PST So my client is interested in a commercial property. It's a convenience store but its big enough to open a small gas station. I offered 20k above asking price which is the highest offer he received. However the seller is not okay with environmental clause. He wants condition for due diligence and finance only for a week. The reason he is giving is he want to close quick. (In 1 and a half month) and getting environmental report takes about 45 days. There is also a gas station and oil changing company across the street. (single lane 2 way street). Question is, how would you proceed with the deal? Would you advise your client to submit an offer with 1 week condition and not do environmental? Our offer already got rejected because of 45 day condition. I don't want my client to suffer but he is really interested in the property. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:36 PM PST Hi there! I wanted to ask this because I just picked up a showing on Showlingly! Does anyone else use this site? It says "Listing Not Connected" and I have to schedule this showing using the listing agent's preferred platform. Should I ask him or is it most likely showingtime? I am so confused by all of this. Also is it taboo to give the clients a business card before they leave the showing? [link] [comments] |
| Questions regarding the FRI Designation (Canada) Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:33 PM PST Hello, I am a new realtor in Ontario, and I'm looking to further my real estate education. I came upon the FRI Designation for Real Estate from the REIC, and I am wondering if anybody who has taken the courses or obtained the designations has any insights on the pros and cons of the program! Thank you so much. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:27 PM PST I listed a house and it sold and closed yesterday. The buyers agent has the signed and final inspection addendum from her buyer because she sent me a text message of it (as if in an attempt to taunt me.) But won't email a clear copy of it because her buyer is unhappy with the standard of cleaning done by the seller. She also says the house smells like dog. And it does. It always did. I've already sent a cleaning lady down there to do a light cleaning after we closed and she's still not happy. I continue to get screenshots from this agent showing the client screaming at her. Is this buyers agent violating an ethics code by not submitting documents to me as they're executed? Her buyer signed it yesterday accepting the property in its final condition. She's going to be paid her commission but I won't. The sale is closed. The contract only specified a cleaning to be done by the sellers, not professionally. And nothing was ever mentioned about a dog smell until now. [link] [comments] |
