| Posted: 10 May 2021 09:58 AM PDT I'm sure that every agent has struggled immensely in periods of their career, especially when starting out...so the title probably relates to all. I'm curious about those who really had a difficult time and stuck it out through those times and came out on top. I'd love to hear your stories! Edit: wording [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 08:42 AM PDT One of thr segments on a podcast I'm on is called "Tales from the Lockbox" which is basically funny stories that have happened to us as agents. What are some of your interesting/awkward/hilarious stories as realtors? please share knowing I may say it on our podcast but will definitely give you a shout out for it! I do not want to break group rules and promote our podcast so if it's used I will DM you the podcast name so you can listen in if you want! [link] [comments] |
| Realtor attire in higher-end area? Posted: 09 May 2021 11:21 PM PDT Hi everyone! I am a very new agent in a high-end area in California. Think Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, Palo Alto price homes. Our "starter homes" are over a million+, and anything in a nearby, more affordable area as a "starter" that needs ridiculous amounts of work is 800K+ for 3/1 1000 sqft. Most of the realtors around here are older and very established, so I would say they don't focus at all on their looks. Which is a good thing! But I feel like at my age (28) and being a female, how I present myself and peoples first impression of me is important. What would you consider appropriate attire for a higher end area? Are designer pieces like shoes, handbags, jackets a complete no-no? Or are they required? I worry that trying to dress to impress would look super contrived but I also feel like if I don't try at all I'll be seen as young and lazy. I don't know what to do! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone! [link] [comments] |
| What questions do you wish you asked your broker before joining? Posted: 10 May 2021 11:31 AM PDT I just passed my real estate exam and I am in the process of interviewing brokers to hang my license. What questions do you wish you would've asked them before you joined? What do you wish you wouldve looked out for during the interview process? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 11:29 AM PDT I'm in the process of reviewing brokerages. I keep coming back to eXp Realty when comparing to a more traditional brokerage, Exit Realty. The traditional brokerage that I'm contemplating has a 70/30 commission split, with no desk fees. They have full time admin staff and an on-site photographer that takes care of all of your listing photos. Once you hit $100,000 in gross commissions it drops to 90/10. When compared to eXp it seems eXp is much better? 80/20 and capped totally at $16,000? Am I missing something? Is it to good to be true? I was a realtor 7 years ago. I got out of the business for other reasons not related to my professional life, and I'm ready to jump back in. I was doing pretty well during my 3 years in the business so I don't need a ton of training and support a new agent would need. I'm very independent. I don't need someone to hold my hand at all. Does anyone have any experience leaving a traditional brokerage to join eXp? I don't really care about the residual income or attracting agents with eXp. I like the idea of the cloud. I just want the most commission for each sale. If I don't have to give another brokerage an additional 10-30% of my commission, I would like to avoid it if possible. I'm also in Ontario, Canada, if that matters. Thanks in advance, [link] [comments] |
| Which CRM do you use? (Realtor) Posted: 10 May 2021 11:12 AM PDT I'm looking to explore different CRM's, I'd like to learn which ones you use and what is your top used function within your CRM? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 10:29 AM PDT Basically I have something neurological/balance-related going on that makes it really hard for me to go up and down stairs, and scary to turn my head to change lanes in traffic. This started just after I began my courses but I continued hoping the issues would subside. I can't just specialize in ramblers, so I know I'm not going to be out there selling homes for at least a little while. I know it's possible for a broker to hold my license so it doesn't expire, but keep it inactive if I pay a yearly fee and do my CE, I'm just worried I'm going to come across as more trouble than I'm worth. How do I approach a broker? Should I even try? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 09:56 AM PDT Significant Other and I are in the process of choosing a plan for a new construction. One of the options is to put the kitchen/Dining/Living on the top floor (of 3). The benefits are the unobstructed (and unlikely to become obstructed) skyline view of Downtown, and natural light. The plans include an elevator, the cost and maintenance of which is not an issue. The main concern is reselling, as there are some worries no one would want something that 'unusual' and 'impractical'. Any thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Do you guys think there’s such thing as responding TOO quickly with clients? Posted: 10 May 2021 09:51 AM PDT I'm a newer agent who's still at the part of their career where I can't really afford to lose clients, and on top of that have quite a bit of free time where I'm not constantly going on appointments or showings with clients. Because of this I'm able to reply to texts/emails literally within 5 minutes. And now I'm wondering how this might look on the other end? Like I will get a text or email from a lead/client, respond within 5 minutes, it might take hours or days for them to get back to me, and again I'll respond within minutes. Does this have any negative connotation? I also just got a new lead over the phone and had a list of information and homes sent over within 10 minutes. Just wondering if there's such a thing as responding or working TOO quickly? [link] [comments] |
| Need advice on negotiating commission or not Posted: 10 May 2021 08:33 AM PDT I need some advice on how to tactfully ask for a commission reduction. The relevant facts are this:
The only thing left to do is list it and show it. It is priced correctly and it's a banger of a house. I expect it'll sell at list within the first 5 showings. The investor in this in this project is reeling over the fact that we are making about 400k combined for about 18 months of very, very hard work. Covid contributed to that quite a bit. And the realtors would get about 75k for "putting it on the mls." The workload here for the agent is a lot lighter than usual. Is there a way to address this without pissing everyone off? I dont want to go the route of listing myself. People dont view that is a positive light in my opinion. I've never asked a realtor to reduce a commission in all my years of building. But the investor in this wont budge on it. Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments] |

| Looking for recommendations, the best book you've read related to the business. Posted: 09 May 2021 12:37 PM PDT Title says it all. I've completed my licensing requirements, and want to know which books ypu found useful. Thanks [link] [comments] |

| how to get attention of top agents? how top agent pick clients? Posted: 09 May 2021 09:57 PM PDT recently i read that agents are different, some seem very good, they have lots of sales, some seems just a couple of sales. as buyer, it is bit hard to get attention of top agents, they seem pick only ready buyers, ready with good money proof and know real estate process, is there any place to get educated and be ready so top agent will be willing to work on the purchase? thanks.

| Posted: 09 May 2021 07:14 PM PDT Just wondering if I should get a realtor for rent to own properties or if there's another resource for that kind of thing? [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone have any experience with PSI Exams? Posted: 09 May 2021 02:09 PM PDT A couple weeks ago I registered and scheduled an exam with PSI to take my NC real estate exam. I scheduled it for this Tuesday, May 11. I got the email confirming and all was good. But I checked today, and there are no activities scheduled for me on the PSI website, and nothing in my records, only an option to register for a test (meaning I would have to pay for it again). I called their customer support number, but the extension I was instructed to use for state licenses is no longer available, and I can't find another number for exam scheduling help. I emailed them, but the ticket said it would take 5-7 days for a response, and my exam is in two days. My intentions were to reschedule for Thursday or Friday, but now my hope is that I'll at least be able to take it without paying for it again. Does anyone know what is going on/what I can do/who I can contact? Thank you. [link] [comments] |
