Real Estate

I sat in this groop session for a month after I overdosed and was in the psych ward and all these women there would complain the whole time, Men have it so easy, they are arrogant, blaj blah, evryone would nod thier head, Then they would talk about all thier abuse, then when me and the two other guys would have to share about our abuse or whatever crap,,the lady shrink would just say we have to ‘Get real’ or that we are lazy, meanwhile some of these women in there were 30 year olds living at home some who abused muliple drugs and even some who were prostitutes, I am a succesful realestate broker and the other guy was a attorney, Isn’t it possible that women and men are equally prone to emotioal problems, I don’t see how a womens problems are automatically more valid then mine, but I do think psychiatry, in general takes a womens side

I think it is a science dedicated to the medicalization of women, if that’s what you mean. I hardly call that feminist. More like trying to cure women from being women. Okay, maybe feminazi.

But what was a successful RE broker and an attorney doing in that particular group? I would think you’d have pursued other options.

Heck, I wouldn’t have fit into that group, and I’m a woman. Sounds like it was led by a social worker and they are notorious for classifying people based on "victim-hood." It’s probably more about that than gender.

AND: Psychiatry is more focused on getting you well, not on your past. Psychotherapy does more of what you speak.

Isat in this groop session for a month after I overdosed and all these wome would complain the whole time, Men have it so easy, they are arrogant, Then they would talk about all thier abuse, then when me and thetwo other guys would talk about our abuse or whatever crap,,the lady shrink would just say we have to ‘Get real’ or that we are lazy, meanwhile some of these wome were 30 year olds livig at home some who abused muliple drugs and even some who were prostitutes, I am a succesful realestate broker and the other guy was a attorney,

and yes i am drunk right now

Honesty is the path to redemtion. However, I can understand you reaching out for help while under the influence of chemicals, I am certain you would agree that treatment is effective only when you are sober and have the will and desire to be able to control whatever substances you may ingest instead of being controlled by them. In so far as your assesment of treatment sessions dominated by women, including the therapist, is concerned I feel men must admit to and accept two realities: Women are smater and stronger than men and have a mysticke which is at its worst when they feel less than what they can/should be; and, that men have dominated women for the last eight thousand years.

I have leased a home for almost 2 years in the middle of the lease the first management company informed me that the owners realestate broker emailed her telling her that because of financial difficulties he would now be managing the properties so all securities and contracts were switched over to him the acctual owner resides in europe and i have never met or spoke to him the problem i have is that i never directly recieved a phone call or letter from the owner saying to give him the rent and now i hve recieved foreclosure papers i know i must continue to pay rent but legally who gets it ? what if the owner doesn’t know his broker is collecting the money and he just abandond the mortgages its been 6 months since his last payment on the loan please help i just don’t want my hard earned money going in the pocket of a con artist

Pay whomever your management company told you to pay. That way you are covered. You must pay your rent to that person however until you actually get notice to vacate the property, regardless of whether or not the house is in foreclosure.

I’ve saved a property from tax sale 3 days before it was to be sold, and if those tenants hadn’t been paying their rent, they’d be very unhappy.

howie is going to marry the woman who was the webmaster for bsb in 2000, ugh she is so ugly and from what fans say who met her a real witch, howie is a multimillionaire i hope he plans on having a pre nup or he could end up getting taken, she is non famous and works as a realestate broker.

I guess Howie must be seeing things that all the fans don’t see, he is attracted so much that he wants to marry her.

Maybe it’s all about jealously from those who wish ,THEY were in her shoes Hmmmmmmmmmm?? ♥

what is the average income of real estate salesperson and realestate broker

you can’t go by averages, because they include people with Realtor licenses that aren’t active.

however, as a realtor, you should expect to make no less than 75k/year. Many make WAAY more than that, like 75k for selling just ONE house.

Also, if you plan on going in to this line of work, make sure that you’ve made arrangements to not make ANY money for at least 6 mos. Whether it’s living with parents/friends/significant other, or if you’ve saved up enough dough. It can take months to sell a single home (especially in today’s buyer’s market), and then at least 30 days to close, when you’d get your cut.

The thing about a commision only sales plan, you get out what you put into. If you are resourceful, good with words, make friends easily, can follow a procedure or create one for yourself, then you should do very well.

I’m a realtor with a company I truely love but I believe the internet is the wave of the future for real estate. Does anyone work for Realestate.com as a Realtor and how do you like it? Realestate.com used to just sell leads, it seems now they’re trying this where they are actually a broker. It’s a good idea but I’d be interested to talk to someone actually taking advantage of their opportunity.

Ed,
I think you are wise to check out a new company based on agent experience rather than company promises. It’s just the sensible thing to do. Having said that, it seems to me that their web site would feature the names of their licensees. Why not just contact the individual agents, either in your area or, to factor out the possible competitive bias, in another area of your state but outside of your marketing area? Broadcasting a questions like this has a major flaw: no agent is going to bad mouth the company s/he works for and any good Realtor is going to be cautious of the ethical implications of disparaging another agent or company. Then there are the issues of anti-trust violations and civil actions for libel and anti-competitive behavior.

Good luck. I hope it works for you. I am still with the traditional model because I think it suits my professional background and style, but I am always open to new ideas . . . like appearing on Yahoo! ANSWERS

I would like to know what a person has to do (tests, certifications, etc…) to become a realestate agent… and is that the same as being a broker?

Am in the Houston area if that makes any difference

Real Estate Agents much go to school to learn the laws concerning the sale and purchasing of land within your state.

You will have to pass a state exam. Being a Broker is different. That is someone with experience as a real estate agent and who has additional schooling and eventually is qualified to own their own agency.

Lets say im the investor. Who plays the most important position on my team in the business? Is it the Realestate lawyer, the broker or the accountant or the bank? Im tryng to get and understanding of the priorty rolls of this positions in the order of whose most important in the relationship with me the investor and maybe some insight on cost difference between them.

Let me tell you about the people I consider important on my team I have 3 businesses by the way a tax deed and lien investing business a rehab business and a rental business.
Here are a list of people on my team
Lawyer
CPA
Managers
Foreman= runs my rehabs
title company
appraisers
inspectors if you use them
government people can be important too like the building inspector,zoning board people,gov officials in charge of you getting the ok to do project, political people become small % partners can help slam through the most difficult projects
bookkeeper.
general labor: works to do unskilled labor like clean up and painting and makes simple service calls, may also be called maintenance
realtor if you use them
broker or banker if you need them
private money lender or hard money lender if you needed one
advertising firms: to move your reale state and get it sold
Marketing person in your business if you have one hired on.

Sub contractors to include the following below
a) heating, cooling guy
b)electrician
c) plumber
d) concrete,excavation guy, also does landscaping
e)rooto rooter= they unplug the plumbing lines when they freeze or clog up different then plumber
f) some might use roofers and siding people I keep that in house but ill just say rough framers and finished carpenters just to be on the safe side
g)Distributors of building materials and other important suppliers
h) such specialty shops like window repair,or hardware store or other places that fix equipment you need.

In my business I needed a good lawyer, foreman ,managers,CPA, book keeper because the rest of my parts where interchangeable. A good group of these people can really make life a lot easier. The larger your business grows the more parts to your team that need to work well.
A general labor guy that screws up a small drywall project probably wont hurt you as much as a lawyer can on a realestate case. So you see what I am talking about.
I hope this helps you out also for ever person or persons and skill i have listed i might have 3 backups on the list.
If the plumber screws up or doesn’t show up you got to have a back up plan! You are the ceo and when your business grows large enough you may consider people on your team like an operations manager or a marketing manager that manages teams of other professionals.
The key to the team is to let them run the business so you can stay creative and keep building your business. The team must bring in there part of the profits to make it all make sense. Watch the team close and as it grows your leadership skills must grow too. The complete role of your team is important just like in football if a lonely corner back takes a play off the touchdown the other teams receiver can mean a loss for your team. This is the Ceo’s job to make sure his team is effectively moving forward towards the objectives of the business in there goals to serve or and make profits while doing so and also make the right adjustments along the way when needed. CEO must understand everyones job , while you don’t know necessarily how to do those jobs you do need to understand when that part of the team has produced or not produced results. Also to understand what impact moving forward your changes will make in your business. I hope this helped.

i know to you that it may sound like a stupid question but i just realized that i wanna be a real estate agent . im trying to learn every thing i can about realestate while im still in my teenage years thanx

Not a stupid question at all. Yes, in many states the broker can act as a buyer or seller’s agent. In fact, think of a broker as being qualified by the state to represent clients on the purchase and the sale of property along with the ability to also manage other agents and review contracts.

would a team comprised of an appraiser and a building inspector be more fruitful to potential clients such as mortgage lenders, real estate brokers etc.?

I am a appraiser and a home inspector and neither create work for the other. Mtg lenders dont hire home inspector and real estate agents dont hire appraisers. Home inspectors work for buyers and sometimes agents refer home inspectors. The only ones the hire appraisers is lenders. If your thinking about being a appraiser, you better look into it. It takes no less than 2 years and can take as long a 4 years to become a appraiser and you get paid slave wages for your training time. You have to take 250 hours of classes at 150 per 15 clock hours and you must have no less than 2500 hours in the field and only 1000 hours per year will count and you must work under a Certified Appraiser. If you live in the mid west or on the east coast a appraisal goes for around $200-300 on the west coast we get around $400-$500 per appraisal and as a trainee you would get between 30%-50% of that. Also after 01/01/2008 the laws are going to change and it will be harder to become a appraiser, with some state only allowing Certified appraiser to do appraisals and not allowing licensed appraisers to do appraisals. And to become a Certified appraiser you must have a degree after 01/01/2008. Hope this helps.
