“What happens when I put a ‘0′ here…”

Posted by smith_goomzee on June 29th, 2009

Last week’s team meeting produced an interesting tale of ‘overpricing woe’. The parents of one of my associates listed their house in mid-2006 at $590,000. The inaccurate list price was determined by their real estate agent, and the property sat on market for nearly 2 years, suffering a price drop of almost $200K. By the time my co-worker’s family unloaded the property, they had to settle for only $400,000; this unpleasant situation could’ve been avoided if only it had initially hit the market in the correct price range.

Overpriced listings are, unfortunately, a common practice in real estate. …

Ensure Your Next Commission is Secure

Posted by smith_goomzee on April 27th, 2009

“I question the validity of a practice that allows you to be paid when you didn’t do the job you’re getting paid for.” - Brenda Florida, Century 21 Alliance of Lansdale, PA

“Procuring Cause should simply go away. It’s an antiquated system.” - Tom Early, President of National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents

3 Tips for Brokers That ‘Inspire to Hire’ Pt. 1

Posted by smith_goomzee on March 27th, 2009

An oft-overlooked aspect of the real estate brokerage is the new agent hiring process. While not so much different from any other business’ hiring process, there are several nuances that brokers must take into account when screening the new blood. The important thing to remember is that you, the broker, are a different type of boss than what one would encounter in, say, an In-N-Out burger. True, the questions asked and best practices followed during an interview may not be too terribly different between the RE Broker and Burger Bob, but the role played by both parties …
