glad I'm no the only one who takes 30 minutes + to get out of the car once parked. I started laughing at that. My husband thinks I'm strange, but you still need uninterrupted time to catch up after driving. hahaha Thanks!
Hi Jose, it really depends on your market place, whether you'll be working alone or as part of a team etc but there are lots of activities you can start doing to build your business and client list. This day of mine did not include any dedicated time for prospecting for new clients which is something you will spend (and should spend!) the majority of your time doing as a new agent, and should always make time for even as an experienced agent.
Definitely subscribed. Love watching these. Can’t wait for more! I sell real estate in oregon so If you ever have a client moving to that state I’d love to give you a referral fee :) xo
Drive to house, open door, mention nice things about house, close door and wait for next person to call. Someone decides to buy, schedule meeting to gather qualification and sign documents, wait a few months, set another meeting for settlement. Collect massive check for a few hours worth of work. I say realtors should be making $20/hour.
Joe Schmoe I think you should become a realtor and see how many hours go into a successful transaction, and running your own business before you comment, but thanks for watching. And also, if all I did was open the door "mention nice things" and "wait" for a paycheck I wouldn't have many clients for very long that's for sure.
Why would I want to become something I despise. Realtors, Car Salesman and the like should ALL be paid hourly. If they don't do a good job then they should be fired. Just like any other employee. You're not special because you put on nice clothes and have a photo of yourself on your business card. Please tell me why you shouldn't be paid by the hour? If it wasn't for the Realtor's lobbyist down in DC bribing politicians you would all be gone. Also, tell what more do you do then open doors and clerical work. Something a secretary can do?
Joe Schmoe it sounds like you had a really negative experience working with a realtor, and I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know what the rules are in various Us states as I practice real estate in the province of Ontario, Canada, but clients can absolutely pay by the hour if that is the arrangement they are most comfortable with and arrange with their realtor. In my experience, most clients chose to pay a percentage only if they sell/buy as there are many situations where paying by the hour may actually end up costing the consumer more. Alternatively, there are many options for consumers to use a discount brokerage or a company that assists home owners or buyers who wish to go it alone, all options for the consumer. No one is forced to use our services, especially with the open access to market information, listings etc. we obviously differ in our opinions in that you feel realtors add no value, and I am very proud of what I do for a living as I receive thanks and referrals from past clients, repeat business etc from my clients who see value in the service I offer. Not every agent is the same, so please don't paint us all with the same brush.
All sales should be paid by the hour or salary, just like any other employee. If you do a good job you get a raise and if you do a poor one you get fired just like every other job.Please stop pivoting and tell my why you deserve to be paid on commission instead of by the hour or salary? It has nothing to do with negative experience, it has to do with paying people for the skills that they possess and EVERYTHING a realtor does it nothing more than secretarial work. Realtors don't program computers, they don't perform surgery, they don't design bridges, they don't fixed broken bones, etc. All they do is open doors, hand out papers and make phone calls. ALL of which a $15 secretary can do. One more time, why do you think you deserve $9,000 commission on a $300K hours for at most 5 hours worth of work. Explain!
