| Tell me why I shouldn’t become a real estate agent just to buy a house for myself? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:09 AM PDT Let's say I'm in the market for a $2M home. Where I live, each broker splits a 5% commission, or 2.5% each. Therefore the I could potentially earn/save $50k on this transaction. In my state it costs less than $1000 with 40 hours of classes and a passed exam to become a real estate agent. Let's also assume that I am reasonably real estate competent. I currently own some other properties, know the local area well enough, and can do comps myself. So I don't get as much value from hiring an agent as a first time buyer for example. Assuming I had the time and energy to get the license, why wouldn't I do it? I would love for you fine folks to poke holes in this idea. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 11:27 PM PDT First time home buyer running into issues with concessions/walkthrough. Essentially, the original structure built in 1949 has ungrounded electrical that was surfaced during the inspection. The newer half/addition is grounded and up to code. See my post history for more electrical details. This was one of the items on the list of requested seller concessions that my realtor and I emailed about but was left off of the contract somehow. I have the email with the final list of items we discussed, and this was on there. It was in the middle of a list and I didn't catch that it was removed from the contract. All of our discussions to the point of the walkthrough would indicate that the grounded electrical was included. Today I had my final walkthrough. Supposed to close on Thursday. Heart sunk when I plugged in the ground detector and saw the ungrounded light go off. My realtor brought out the contract and the electrical request wasn't listed. She dodged my questions as to how that happened and what to do next. Went from "yep they did everything!" to "you shouldn't expect anything more". I am feeling really defeated as this is an expensive and potentially dangerous issue to just live with it how it is. I would like help understanding my options from here? Aside from asking my realtor to go back to seller and ask for them to fix it.... what else can I do? I don't think they are going to budge on the fixes, it is a sellers market here and they haven't been willing to negotiate much so far. Is it too late to back out? Will I lose my earnest deposit?

| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 10:31 PM PDT Can we create a stickied post listing where we are? I think it would be helpful to clients and new agents who need market-specific advice. I also, I will eat a bug before I go to FB to find referral partners. I'd rather refer buyers to other redditors because then I know it'll be a good personality fit. (I only use Reddit on mobile so forgive me if this has already been done and I just couldn't find it.) [link] [comments] |
| How much value does a cul-de-sac add to a home/property? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:37 AM PDT Hi everyone! I'm currently researching for a textbook, and I'm looking to find how much a cul-de-sac might add to a home/property. I'm looking for a dollar amount it may add to the exact same home, but not on a cul-de-sac. If there was a source I could cite that would be fantastic! If you're comfortable messaging me I can also see about citing you as a source. Appreciate any help! [link] [comments] |
| Can realtors sell their own houses Posted: 24 Mar 2021 11:26 AM PDT I've long been thinking about getting a realtor's license because I want to get into property investing. Obviously, I don't have to be a realtor to be a property investor but I feel that, over the long haul, it'd make it a lot smoother to get in and out of investments. I also want to do some realtor work on the side just to get some extra income. Anyway, I currently live in a house that I'm probably going to sell in the next year. My question is, if I get my realtor's license before I decide to sell my home, would I be able to sell it myself and, as the seller of the house, pay only a 3% fee (to the buyer's agent) instead of a 6% fee (3% to buyer's agent and 3% to seller's (my) agent)? Also, I know there is a fee to get certified but I keep hearing about yearly realtor fees. Is that true? Are there yearly fees you have to pay as a realtor (non-transaction fees)? So, if, after getting my license, I were to spend 3 years working as a realtor part time then 1 year not doing any realtor work at all, would I have to pay any fees for that 1 year (continuing licensing fees, etc.)? Also, real estate licenses are good across states, correct? If I were to get my realtor's license in Texas, would I be able to act as a realtor in, say, California in the future? Thanks a lot [link] [comments] |
| Is it illegal to give gifts to non-licensees for referrals? Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:38 PM PDT I'm taking The CE Shop real estate course and it claims that
Does this mean that I can't give my friend a gift card as a thank you for referring someone to me? Doesn't this also mean that non-licensed people aren't allowed to refer others to me in the first place? [link] [comments] |
| What technology do you use to better separate yourself from others on listings? Matterport? Posted: 24 Mar 2021 09:32 AM PDT How do you use technology to separate yourself when you have a listing? Do you use Matterport? other similar software? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for Real Estate Agents to help with finding some localized data Posted: 24 Mar 2021 06:19 AM PDT Hello everyone, I'm doing a bit of a study on housing affordability and require some localized data that I don't have access to and/or cannot find. If you live in a major city and are willing to help, please leave a comment or send me a message of what city you are located in. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! [link] [comments] |
| Does Supra eKey work in multiple cities? Posted: 23 Mar 2021 09:54 PM PDT I am with KW in Dallas and have recently subscribed to an MLS in Houston in order to help out a client. Will my Supra eKey app allow me to work across multiple cities? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:42 PM PDT Not looking at any topic in particular, just wanting to add to my library as a newbie. Not sure what I'll need. I'd like to know as many scripts as I can and which ones are not helpful. [link] [comments] |
| Got fired by my first buyer’s. Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:34 PM PDT I'm a new agent (just got licensed in December) and I finally got my first client. I wrote an offer on a house that they liked and they didn't get it. And today I got a text from my broker saying that they called her and said that they "aren't comfortable working with me anymore" even though the offer that got accepted was $10k higher than what they offered. I know that technically I didn't do anything wrong but I can't help but feel like a failure. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:45 PM PDT Help! I have been on hold endlessly, with no help or email response.

| Realtor representing both seller and buyer Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:24 PM PDT I've made an offer on a house. Seller chose someone else. Asked if I wanted to be 2nd. Realtor recommended I say no. Seems a bit of a conflict, but I'm paranoid by nature. Can I contact the seller directly to mKe sure he understands. I'm still interested? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Mar 2021 01:12 PM PDT I'm thinking to go work for Redfin as an Associate Agent. How was the interview process? I've heard there is an online interview first with recording your answers. Is it true? What kind of questions did they ask you? Those who are currently working as AA at Redfin, share your thoughts on this position, what's your day schedule look like. I'm in Houston. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
