So I can compare what it sold for previously and when, what they have updated and what they are asking for it now, so I know what to offer. Thanks

That is in the MLS, you agent can get it, it is not public.

This is in California I need quick answers

The standard is 3% to each agent, so a total of 6%. You see 5 a lot too, but if you go too low the selling agents won’t show the house.

that the price is 15,000

could it just mean they are renting out a room in the house fur such an amount of time?

Those are all rentals, that is 15k a month to rent the house, not buy it or rent a room, you get the whole house.

Hi, i am a new agent in the state of california. I was wondering if anyone here can tell me how they started getting clients and how they became confident in talking with clients. I know one of the ways to get clients is to prospect, but which ways can you prospect. Thanks.

Business cards: Do you think you can "cut corners" and make a good impression with those thin, flat, lifeless, computer-generated cards?

PLEASE DO yourself a HUGE favor: Invest your time to sit down and properly design your business cards. If you aren’t sure, please go to a professional printer or graphic arts store and ask for help and guidance. Those folks should amaze you with ideas and concepts. In the long run, good, professionally printed business cards with raised lettering and features, go a long way to show others you care – about yourself, about your business and about your clients.

When you leave, your contacts and clients have two things:
1] Good, bad or indifferent – the impression you left.
2] Your business card.

Don’t you think it makes good sense to invest your money in a good, quality business card? Have your cards professionally printed.

Find an investment group – or two – or more with professional real estate investors. JOIN it/them &&&&&&&&&&&&& BE ACTIVE!!!! Get on committees, get to be known as a "can do" type of person. You should have fun [and Yes, some aggravation, too]. You should make some friends and begin building your client base. You should get leads! AND look how much time, money and aggravation you’ll save! LOTS!

Here are my suggestions to being successful on the job as well as being a successful person:
1] Having and keeping a positive mental attitude.
2] Integrity – being honest with one’s self as well as with and to all others. NO kickbacks or stealing.
This, above all else: “To thine own self, be true! And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” William Shakespeare
3] Having an open mind.
4] The ability to learn from others AND teaching still others.
5] Having the ability to make decisions and/or decide AND STICKING with that decision. If and when someone asks “why?” a certain procedure was done a certain way, you must be able to fully explain your
reasoning behind that decision.
6] The ability to properly communicate: following directions and the orders others may give.
7] Cleanliness. Period.
8] Knowing what to do and how to do it.
9] Being part of the overall team. NO job is too small. When it means picking-up that mop [or cleaning the bathrooms and/or other menial tasks] to lend a hand, it happens – without complaining.
That absolutely horrible, miserable and selfish expression, “That‘s not my job.” DOES NOT exist.
9a] On occasion, staying over to help the folks following OR coming in earlier AND going to work to help the overall operation. AND THEN there‘s that expression:
"There is no "I" in "TEAM".
10] Doing the job at-hand to the best of your ability. When there are questions, asking the questions.
There’s no such thing as a stupid question. The ONLY stupid question is the question NOT asked.
11] Having a sense of humor.
12] Being kind and courteous to others.
As a footnote: AND STILL keep his/her wits about you – without “throwing”/having temper tantrums.

As a matter of fact: Isn’t it true any, many or all of the above can be divided into sub-categories?

As the saying goes, "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door."

What the saying doesn’t tell anyone or even mention is: YOU MUST get out there and let "the world" know about that better mousetrap!

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

VTY,

Yes, that is my real last name!

It does vary from state to state, but generally you just take your pre-license course, pass the exam, pay all the fees, and you are in! I will say that it takes money to make money in this feild and the more sales/marketing/executive experience you have the more likely you are to succeed.

If you do decide to and become licensed, make sure that you REALLY interview brokers. Find one that provides you with leads and good training.

I have 95+ acres, maybe more. Its prime real estate property that is great for developers or investors. Right off interstate I-59 in alabama. Its worth seeing!! Any ideas where to advertise or anyone interested?? for more information or where i could advertise please email me here zbug15@hotmail.com

I think you would be a fool not to use an agent and get it on the MLS.

Developers are not going to be looking anywhere you can advertise yourself, they will be using an agent of their own and traditional methods.

The two biggest concerns are whether you are adequately capitalized to start a business and whether you have the necessary discipline to save money when times are good so that you can stay in business when the real estate market slows down, as it inevitably will. Real estate is a very cyclical business.

When you are just starting out, you likely will have more expenses than income for the first 6-12 months. So, you need to be financially prepared to pay for advertisements, business cards, networking, driving around, etc. Even if you get a sale in the first few months, it takes 30-60 days to get your commission paid (at closing).

Right now, the housing market is in a down cycle. But if you have enough money to stick it out, and you’re genuinely interested in the work, you can turn these circumstances to your advantage. During a down market, the agents with staying power are the ones who benefit once the market makes a comeback.

Once that happens, it is very important that you stash some extra money away for the times when the market cycles down again.

Good luck!

If i move out of State from Georgia to Newyork i heard that i can give my RealEstate Broker limited Power of Attorney with an experation date so that i do not have to wait for the closing.Is this true?Is this safe?

It is common all over the world you can give aspecific power of Attorney for the specific job and time limit get it registered/stamped and keep going. You are safe.*
