    Realtors: Seeing the Broker's cut always hurts


    Seeing the Broker's cut always hurts

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:05 AM PST

    Pretty much just the title. I get what the fee is for. But it still hurts a bit seeing how many thousands goes to the broker out of my commission lol

    Anyone switch to compass?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:52 AM PST

    Experienced agent and considering a move, in the Tampa / Ft. Lauderdale area.

    Single agent. Almost 10 years experience.

    I currently work at a LeadingRE company

    Compass is making alot of claims about what they have to offer in terms of tech as well as marketing. Can anyone give me more insight on that or even your experience so far.

    I am looking for updated tech, marketing, and alot of automation basically letting me not worry about the nuances and just close deals.

    Any insight is appreciated!

    Realtors on social media

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 11:53 AM PST

    Are there any realtors on IG that don't make your eyes immediately roll every time you see them in your feed?

    I think it's healthy to follow others in your particular field that will help guide and inspire you. Who are your favorites to follow for inspiration?

    Edited to remove the word 'follow'

    First sales showing!

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 10:07 AM PST

    So this past month has been an eventful one, I have 3 clients, VERY qualified and I might finally start making some money after doing this part-time for two years. I've thrown myself into this and have been doing it full-time since December. I was doing rentals before and made my money that way and now I'm kicking it up a notch. Thing is, I've never showed anyone a house/condo and need some quick guidance from a sales perspective. I'm a little nervous going into each sale, being I've never done it. I don't want to say too much or too little at showing and don't want to give off "rookie" energy to these ready buyer's. Any pointers would be super helpful!

    Pros/Cons of Immediately becoming a Broker without having prior experience

    Posted: 06 Mar 2021 09:58 AM PST

    Hello All! I am a licensed Attorney in Missouri, and I have been considering getting my Broker's license to do a bit of real estate work on the side. As part of the legal requirements of becoming a Real Estate Broker in Missouri, I can actually bypass a lot of the normal requirements (I don't have to have x amount of hours being a licensed agent under a licensed broker, I don't need a lot of the education requirements; essentially I can take the agent test, pass it, then immediately take the broker's test, pass it, and could be a broker within a couple weeks from now as long as I pass the tests). I of course understand that there will be negatives to going this route (missing out on the opportunity to learn from an experienced broker and such) but I also am a pretty quick study and will of course seek out a mentor in another market so as to eliminate any conflict of interest.

    What I'm trying to figure out is if there are any other shortcomings to going this route - to me the pros far outweigh the cons, however I acknowledge there could be things that I have overlooked. I have done a real estate transaction before (my own personal - I wrote the real estate agreements, and ran through all the processes I could find that the Missouri Realtors Association requires of their members in Missouri). I also would be grateful if there was anybody that knows of a resource/course on the actual processes involved with running a successful brokerage. I will be the first to admit when it comes to creating business processes, I understand their importance but sometimes struggle with encapsulating everything involved with a business. I know once I join the Missouri Realtors Association they will probably supply a lot of various forms/other resources, but wasn't sure if anybody knows of other courses/resources out there that would be useful for the business side of things - I don't think I'll have an issue getting the licensure but I do worry about implementation.

    Appreciate any feedback and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Realtor.com Leads

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 05:43 PM PST

    I got a call from realtor.com today about buying leads. I've never done this before but It didn't sound bad at all.

    It was reasonably priced, and They say the average conversion rate is 1 out of 20 leads.

    Does anyone want to share their experience buying leads from realtor.com?

    EXP Realty invited me to a dinner - Should I go?

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 05:58 PM PST

    One of their local sales folks in the area called me up saying they're holding a steak & shrimp dinner next Thursday and I get a +1.

    I'm 6 months into my career and doing fairly well and have no intention on leaving my brokerage. But I'd be up to network and get a free dinner. The EXP rep never really asked if I wanted to leave my brokerage but just said they recruit in all 50 states and would like to have dinner with them on their dime to hear about them.

    Is this thing worth going to? Anybody ever done it? I imagine it's a dinner with a large amount of agents?

    If you had to choose...

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 05:45 PM PST

    So here is my situation. I am currently finishing up my bachelors degree In urban studies, but since I was little I have always been interested in getting into real estate and more specifically selling houses as an agent because that is what my uncle did before he passed away. Unfortunately I have had no one to push me to actually just go for it, but being more mature now and going through college which I very much think is a scam "My opinion on my experience" I now have decided to get my real estate license and maybe in the future use my degree along with real estate license to progress my career in the field.

    My dilemma is that currently I live in southeast Wisconsin between Milwaukee and Chicago, but my family also has a place in southwest Florida near the Fort Myers area that I can stay in whenever. So I'm here asking for opinions on where would be a more fruitful place for me to begin a career in this field. Thank you in advance.

    Why are listing contracts so long?

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 02:13 PM PST

    I am a new agent and Sunday I have set up to sign the listing agreement with my clients. My broker told me I should do a 12 month listing agreement for the sellers to work exclusively with me selling their house and if I dont sell it in that time they can hire someone else, but said the lowest I should do is a 6 month listing agreement. So I told my clients 6 months is what I would be asking for. We are pricing the home at market value and should sell within a few days/weeks. What is a good reason to tell them why I need at least a 6 month listing contract?

    And now, as if the market weren't insane enough...mortgage rates are rising.

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 01:45 PM PST

    Recently rising mortgage rates due to an improving job market and inflation fears (yes, it's true that rates had nowhere to go but up) are going to make it even harder for some buyers to purchase homes in 2021. Good luck out there.

    With prices so high, and inventory so low, interest rates were in some cases the only silver lining to buying a home these days. It will be interesting to see what transpires over the next month or so...

    Need help with lead generation for a guy whose in their early 30’s but has the most experience with individuals preparing for retirement.

    Posted: 05 Mar 2021 01:42 PM PST

    I have a background in mainly government and I had a lot of contact with people who were a bit older. For whatever reason I always found them so easy to talk to and, even though I'm half their age typically, I could relate with them more. What would be some good ideas to reach out to that demographic?

    Now I have other demographics that I relate with (basketball fans and gaming/PC building) but I'd like to increase my sphere for those individuals.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
