| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 08:32 AM PST Like many of us, I work prospects forever. One prospect of mine just lost his son (drug overdose). I've kept in touch with this prospect over the phone for years (~7-8 years), once had lunch with him, and a couple years ago I walked through his house to estimate it's value, briefly meeting his wife and other son. He called me the day after his son passed to let me know what happened and they're probably going to be ready to sell soon. The prospect is a sweet guy; I feel terrible for his loss and would like to make an appearance at the wake. I can't shake the feeling like this is ambulance chasing or would be viewed in bad taste. Curious how others approach these situations. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else concerned about discount brokerages taking over? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 08:58 AM PST We just had a new company move into our area that is one stop shop for buying/selling. They are Realtors, mortgage company, home insurance company, and title company all in one. They only charge a flat fee and it is pretty dang low compared to most commissions in my area. How do I compete with this? I'd like to think I stay up on current trends, use social media well, and give my clients an amazing personal experience. But money talks and I'm not sure how to compete with a service like this. Anyone else have this concern? [link] [comments] |
| What went wrong just before your closing? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:09 AM PST What happened that delayed your closing? My buyers are freaking out that theirs might be delayed a few days and I told them it could be worse! What are your stories? [link] [comments] |
| Advice needed: re license for zoning/planning admin job? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:20 AM PST Hi, new here! I'm looking for some advice. I am about to be hired as the new zoning/planning/HARB (historic area review board) administrator for our small borough, a little over 6,000 people. I don't have much experience with zoning and planning, but I've served on the borough council for a little over two years and I was previously the manager for our small Main Street program. Still, there will be a huge learning curve on my part. Aside from this position, I am interested in real estate and have always wanted to get my license but haven't had the up front cash to pay for classes. Classes cost around $500 and then the exams are an additional fee, depending. So my question is - do you think I could negotiate for the borough to pay for my real estate classes and license, with the argument that this knowledge would benefit me as a zoning/planning/HARB administrator. Those of you with this knowledge and background, do you think it's too far or a reach or something that seems reasonable? Thanks for any advice you can give! (Cross posted in r/urbanplanning) P.S - sorry if this isn't appropriate here. Just thought since you all were experienced realtors you'd have at least some personal opinions, if not professional insight, on this. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Those of you who work day jobs as well Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:48 PM PST I am just getting started right now and have a salary job working on 3rd shift. This job is very toxic anymore and I just dread going there. I have an opportunity for another job in the profession I am coming from but the hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. Those of you who work or did work a daytime job while getting your real estate career off the ground how did a typical day look for you? How did you make it work? [link] [comments] |
| Work Life Balance Success Stories? Posted: 17 Feb 2021 10:18 PM PST What are your real work life balance success stories? I'm not a stranger to hard work and well aware that, in most cases, the more you put in, the more you get out. However, I'm curious if there are real life success stories of balancing life with a successful RE career. Anyone out there feel like they are doing well and keeping weekend to a minimum (in person weekend work at least)? Bonus question, anyone have a success story focusing on buying, but able to navigate minimal weekend showings? Again, I know you get what you put in - just curious how much people are getting while not needing to be physically present most weekends! :) Thanks for your thoughts! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 05:45 AM PST I just interviewed for a buyer's agent position, at the end of the interview I was asked what questions I had. Being the complete RE novice that I am, I blanked. I asked about commissions and about their training/mentorship approach. Couldn't think of anything else on the spot. I'm talking to this broker again soon, what else should I ask? [link] [comments] |
| Do you have to “hang” your license under a broker even if you aren’t active in buying/selling? Posted: 17 Feb 2021 06:36 PM PST I'm working on getting my license, but I'm not planning to try to be an agent right away. I'm thinking about trying to get my feet wet as a transaction coordinator first. Do I have to find a brokerage as soon as I get my license? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 01:43 PM PST I trying to find creative ways to sell this house. Anyone have any ideas on how to find buyers in that price range? [link] [comments] |
| My neighbor is a cash buyer who wants to leave my realtor out of the deal. Posted: 17 Feb 2021 09:32 PM PST My wife and I have recently decided our house is too small and we need something bigger. We contacted a realtor who has helped most of the execs at our firm buy and sell property (so we know people in the same circle). Two days ago, our home went up on the market and today, talking to my neighbor, he told me that he wants to do a cash deal but wants to leave our realtor out of it. This way he has leverage for cutting price since we would eliminate his 6% commission. We did sign a contract giving our realtor exclusivity to sell, is there a way to go around this? Could I negotiate bringing down the realtors commission? Im new to this and really don't want to be disrespectful towards either the realtor or the potential buyer. [link] [comments] |
| Looks like I have to settle for brokerage to start off in CRE Posted: 17 Feb 2021 03:32 PM PST Hi guys, I'm a junior getting a bachelors in finance and have been applying to Commercial Real Estate analyst internships. Many rejections later I got an internship at a Commercial brokerage. They are relatively large and quickly growing. Not as big as CBRE/JLL/Colliers but they are growing rapidly and in the top 10 firms where I live. It's not an analyst internship but an investment sales internship. This internship can lead to a position as a new hire agent/broker. They don't pay their agents any salary, everything is commission based. I don't mind, I can go 2 years with no pay after college. I just want to make some money eventually. They are big in STNL and growing their multifamily, office, and industrial presence. I really want to get into multifamily investment sales because eventually I want to invest in multifamily myself. So I got an unpaid internship this summer with them, its going to be a research based internship where I will get exposed to different asset classes. I think this is basically a trial to see if I am competent and also a way to allow me to see if this is really what I want to do. To my understanding, new agents work with a senior agent doing research and making cold calls for them. I guess you have to be chosen by a senior agent to make the cut as a new hire. I'm kind of bummed that I couldn't get an analyst internship but I wanted to transition to brokerage eventually in my career anyway so its ok I guess. Any tips so I can really shine and hopefully peak the interest of one of their senior multifamily agents? I already plan on starting to study for my real estate license soon. I think I can do well in multifamily investment sales as it really interests me and I have a lot of ambition. Appreciate the feedback [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 08:11 PM PST Hi, I am in Vancouver and was wondering whether anyone here that is a Agent in Canada buys online leads like they do in the US- Zillow, Realtors, Rew, Zolo and so on? I am a new Agent and need help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 04:49 PM PST I notice realtors on Facebook are posting photo albums of houses but no prices. Then there's a bunch of people in the comments asking for the price with the realtor responding "messaged!" or something. Is there a reason for this? I could look up the price on the most recent one I've seen on zillow, I'm just wondering why they don't want to put the price on Facebook. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 12:40 PM PST Can anyone confirm if you have to get your fingerprints done before taking the state exam? My real estate course (realestateU) says I get them after the exam but from what I read online it seems I have to get them done first then submit my application and then finally take the exam. Thank you [link] [comments] |
