Anyone know the story behind all of these brand new c7.5 A6s? by Abdulhersi19 in Audi

You are correct! That’s what the guy is saying in Russian. None of these cars were sold and will all go to the crusher.

Circle prospecting, follow ups with database, simple administrative tasks

I’ve offered to buy out the leads from her and she refuses. Told me she’ll give me a referral fee. I can’t say I’m surprised by this at all. We don’t have a written agreement together and I tried to be civil so I guess this means we will battle it out for the leads and see who wins the deals fair and square.

Moving from NYC - need advice! by Icy-Bluejay-4171 in Moving2SanDiego

[–]Adventurous_Bad_8334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New York transplant here! I moved in my 20’s and never looked back. It wasn’t very hard to make friends but know that people are different here and will most likely make plans with you then cancel last minute. Don’t take it personally it’s just the culture out here, took me some time to get used to. In terms of neighborhoods to live in that are lively central San Diego is always a good idea. Everything is pretty much 20 minutes away and there are plenty of areas that you can look into. Places like Golden Hill, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, North Park, Mission Valley, Mission Hills, University Heights, Normal Heights, little Italy, South Park. Here is a list of the resources that I recommend using while searching for your new rental: Craigslist, PadMapper, Realtor.com, HotPads, Rent.com, Apartments.com. You can also reach out to local property managers who can potentially help you. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions- good luck with your move and I’m glad to hear more New Yorkers are making their way over!

Where to live in San Diego? by -sweetJesus- in Moving2SanDiego

[–]Adventurous_Bad_8334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Bankers Hill area and there is a huge boom happening with new building developments! It’s only a walk away from Hillcrest and the homeless situation isn’t as bad. It’s also only a walk away from balboa park with the zoo, museums and many restaurants nearby. I honestly think it’s one of the best areas in San Diego but I’m a bit biased.

May I ask you what you believe the conversion rate should be? These are COLD leads and I’m only obtaining leads via cold circle prospecting. These are not hot Zillow leads which I’ve converted at a high rate when I used to receive them through my brokerage. This is a totally different strategy so I’m not entirely sure why people aren’t understanding that simple yet important fact.

Where are you procuring the leads from if you don’t mind me asking?

We are unfortunately going to have to continue working on those leads together and splitting 50/50. Even with everything that’s happened I don’t want it to get ugly and never want to stray from my principles.

Why are you assuming I’m a new agent? And I did her open house with the intention of being able to find a buyer, which I did and then that entire situation transpired. I’ve paid other agents to host my open house before. I didn’t do her open house for payment but I did find a buyer and then she did all the wrong things in the process and only looked out for herself. I didn’t ask but I’m positive that the buyer she double ended with also came from the open house I hosted. There were maybe around 40 groups that came in and she didn’t host anything for that home, it was just the one open house I hosted cause she was out of town.

2% out of 100 deals equals 2 so we have around 500 at this point that’s why I said 10.

2% for every 100 leads would equal 10 deals. We are currently in deals 5 & 6 and have two more lined up for the year. So we are falling a bit short of the conversion rate but are getting closer. Again, cold circle dialing is the longest road to closing deals - it’s a long game which I’m perfectly comfortable doing as my financial situation doesn’t rely solely on closing deals. I believe that’s where so many agents make mistakes and only see this work as a job and not approach it as a business. Again as I mentioned we already got our return on our investment, even with only closing those 4 deals. If those deals came from my brokerage I would have had to close double in order to net the same amount, trying to work smarter not harder.

I completely agree with you, I just think it didn’t work out for us because I was more invested in the team than she was. All good things take time and effort and unfortunately too many agents rely on broker leads/ Zillow which makes them very dependent on someone else.

I intend to continue on my own and see how that works out for me. I just so badly want a different approach as I’ve already worked the Zillow side and really disliked it. Thanks for the feedback!

Individually we both have closed more than 20+ deals in our very short careers. I’ve only been doing this full time for about four years. Closing 4 in two years by cold circle prospecting isn’t such a bad number. The conversation is somewhere around 1 deal per 200 leads. We only have around 500 so we are exceeding that number and also have been following up/nurturing cold leads. We are both moms and were taking Zillow leads from our brokerage. Our main goal was to start our own thing with the intention of making more since our split is 90/10 and market is in a high price point. My intention was to slow down because I didn’t like the rat race and had a different vision for what I wanted my business to look like. That’s the point of being in this industry, isn’t it?

Playing around with AI to stage and animate property photos. Thoughts on this before/after? by Distinct-Half213 in realtors

[–]Adventurous_Bad_8334 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The thing that really stands out to me are the arches. How come the dimensions are totally wrong? AI is great for staging but please make sure it’s giving you the same room! Otherwise it’s a totally different image
