| How to "approach" Realtors...? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:13 AM PDT The headline is in quotations for a reason...I am not looking to bring Realtors into a brokerage (I'm a mortgage guy). I am just wanting to connect with Realtors in a few key markets to chat about a project I started in Colorado with local Realtors that is going really well that I'd like to expand into a few other states. I was hoping to ask Realtors in this sub the best way to approach you with this information (I'm not going to pitch anything here). In the past I think my "pitch" was met with skepticism, given how often we're bombarded with lead gen and title rep pitches. I'm not your typical LO looking to do a feature dump. I'm not sure if this violates the sub rules; I will take down this post if so. I don't know how else to get a range of opinions from Realtors in different markets. [link] [comments] |

What you expect in your mind is what you see in the world. • If I am not on target for my goals, it's because I'm not lead generating enough or my follow up game is weak -Make every contact about them not you. What is there problem that needs to be solved? No one cares how many homes you have sold. [link] [comments] |
| My sellers are freaking out because the inspection report hasn’t come back yet and it’s been a week Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:56 AM PDT My sellers accepted a cash offer on their home about two weeks ago from an investment company who wants to turn their home into a rental. The buyers had the inspection done a week ago and we still don't have the report. The buying agent hasn't heard anything either and my sellers are getting anxious because closing is in a little under three weeks. I understand their frustration and I'm frustrated as well but beyond reaching out and reaching out to this buyer agent I feel like my hands are tied. When I asked for the inspectors information the buyer agent left out any contact info and I'm not sure if it's my place to contact this inspector. I'm trying to keep my sellers calm but I'm feeling the brunt of it. I'm planning on calling the buyer agent (again) but what else can I do at this point? [link] [comments] |
| Leave Boutique brokerage or stay Posted: 25 Mar 2021 07:41 AM PDT I have been in real estate for ten years now. In that time I struggled as a new agent at the big name companies so decided to hang my license with a boutique firm at a 90/10 split and zero fees. Since that time I have grown as an agent and am finally making a very good living at it. I've been struggling with the back and forth thoughts of stepping up my game and heading to a more well-known brokerage. I met with Remax and they are willing to offer me 6 months of 100% commission and only pay the 5% franchise fee. After 6 months it's 90/10 plus the 5% franchise fee until you make a certain amount then franchise fee goes to 2.5%. My second choice is a newer company - RealtyOne and they offer a flat fee on each transaction (typically $500) and a monthly desk fee of $125.00. Both places offer the tools and a better brand. SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2021 04:05 AM PDT Hello. I am looking for some gifts for a newly licensed realtor and wondered if there were any books or items that you had or wish you had that helped during your first year? [link] [comments] |
| [BC/Canada] What would happen if every agent operated at their peak level of performance? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 11:46 AM PDT This may be more of a philosophical question, but as a realtor myself in a very competitive and lucrative market, I find myself wondering why everyone doesn't just copy what top producers are doing. You'd think eventually their income would be worn down by the low barrier to entry and increasing competition. Let's say everyone had the same knowledge of an area, provided the best service, professionalism, skills, social media marketing, and had lists of great connections (mortgage brokers, lawyers, etc). How would people compete? If everyone provided the absolute best service possible given the 24 hours they have in a day, how would anyone make more than average income? My thought is that it would simply come down to clients liking your personality or the most attractive people getting an edge. If an expired listing had 50 agents door knock (who were all amazingly knowledgeable, skilled, and professional) how would a client choose? In this world, would real estate become a low income profession that was basically a commodity service? Maybe we would be in a union where we would be dispatched to a certain number of clients per year. Perhaps in 50 years when we all have our brains connected to the internet the industry will no longer exist as it does now. Anyways I love the career and my business partner and I do very well for ourselves. I just always wonder how it's possible that we are able to get more listings and leads than other agents who seem just as motivated. [link] [comments] |
| Could you help with my university research? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 09:21 AM PDT I am currently considering the opportunity of a new business idea and was wondering if anyone could spare 2 minutes to complete a short questionnaire to assist me 😊 it would be very much appreciated. The questionnaire can be completed here and is only 10 questions long, multiple choice answers. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Z3KVQKB Thanks everyone! Have a great day 😊 [link] [comments] |

| Is it really that hard to get listings right now? Or are people just not prospecting enough? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 08:26 AM PDT If every day, I circle prospected, called FSBO's and expireds, and made 400-600 dials a day from 8am-5pm, could I get AT LEAST 1 listing a week in today's market? Even if everyone's going after the FSBO's and expireds and they are slim, I would guess most people aren't cold calling random neighborhoods. There is always someone to call. I took a little sabbatical from real estate and am preparing to get back in. I have always been a listing agent, even when it was a "historical sellers market", etc. Thanks in advance!

| Any realtor with anxiety or stress? Posted: 25 Mar 2021 04:07 AM PDT During this pandemic, it's been super difficult balancing time with myself and real estate. All of a sudden during this pandemic I got generalized anxiety and i been going through therapy and I closed my latest deal in December and left my team because I felt really uncomfortable with them because I barely see them at all in person because of COVID it was always on zoom so I felt intimidated and not sure how to fit with them. Now im solo and I have a friend whos trying to buy we got pre approved pretty quickly and i want to go all out for my friend but for some reason it's hard to focus through step by step because I keep thinking what can go wrong. Im still a new agent I was wondering if you guys gone through the same thing or are going through same thing because of these times? Plus im really thinking of passing this lead on to someone to prioritize my well being but I really hate to pass up on this. [link] [comments] |
| To what degree is a real estate agent allowed to give advice about financing? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 07:45 PM PDT For instance, if I (once I'm an agent) suspect that someone would qualify for a VA loan can I tell them "you should look into getting a VA loan" but not "you should get a VA loan"?

| What is the best gift you have received from a client? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:22 PM PDT We are looking to get our realtor something but not sure what. Thanks for your help ! [link] [comments] |
| How crazy is the market? House with raccoon sh*t lists and gets an accepted offer in 17 hours Posted: 24 Mar 2021 04:11 PM PDT YMMV. Over the last couple days I've gotten at least 3 dozen calls inquiring on a specific listing: 1) An estate sale. 2) House not lived in over 10 years....by humans. 3) Inside is destroyed by raccoons and an inch of raccoon sh*t. 4) From going "active" to "pending" was 17.5 hours. It's on over an acre and it's probably being sold as a teardown, considering homes in this area are going $20K to $40K over list. [link] [comments] |
| Do you need to disclose to listing agent that you are buying a property for yourself as a realtor? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:16 PM PDT I know that if you are listing a property that you have financial interest in or are related to the seller that you need to disclose that but do you need to disclose to the listing agent if you are buying a property for yourself?

| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 07:44 PM PDT Hi all! My husband and I recently put in an offer on a house. We found out we weren't the winners. It stunk, but we moved on. Well, tonight we found out the owners of the home were never shown our offer or the letter we wrote. The owners are friends of friends so this is how we found this out. I thought a realtor had to present all offers, as well as anything written. Is this correct? Is there some way a home owner could wave those options? Just curious if this is ethical behavior. This realtor is known for being shady, so red flags were immediately raised when we found this information out. Thanks for your help in understanding this! [link] [comments] |
| Colorado VanEd course. How close are the practice questions to what I'll see on the exam? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 05:47 PM PDT A couple of my friends who are already brokers/agents have said that if you can just let the course run and then just focus on the practice questions you should be fine to pass the exam. However its been a while since they took the courses and you now have to complete every exercise, quizzes and exams before you can move on to the practice exams so its not possible to just "let the course run". Nevertheless I was wondering if anyone here has recently completed the course and taken the CO exam and if so how do the practice questions compare to the exam? In other words if I can ace the practice exams should the real exam be a breeze? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Mar 2021 04:00 PM PDT Curious to know what kinds of closing gifts realtors give to clients? I just closed and got nothing. I never knew about them, finding out now. [link] [comments] |

| Where to post a negative review? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 10:32 PM PDT There is a real estate agent in my area who posted on a local transit page post that expresses solidarity with the asian community, where his comment is basically "ok so r u protecting fair jumpers too? Asking for a friend" very much missing the point of the post. I'm trying to let prospective customers know of behavior. How can I do this? [link] [comments] |
