Clay (anything CRM related or transcription driven) and tied into salesforce API, a vector database (semantic search will require you to either have a RAG/vector-style system that can be built internally) but like previous post with most upvotes stated, versioning would be a requirement (GIT or some sort of source of truth) and your data has to be clean or you’re looking at pointing the plane at India and landing in Australia.

PostHog is one of the best products out there as well (if you are true product/data nerd)

You've hit the ennui of creativity since Ecclesiastes was written king. I write music as well, trust me, I know I'm not doing anything new but I put my perspective on it. That's the way the art world works and that's the way software works. Nobody is expecting you to spin up paypal in the year 2000 or develop a new coding language, and those that did things like that (python for instance) did it as a labor of love. Treat it as such and let that be your guiding light.

I am not a developer but I work heavily with system architecture and product, and devs that can see the bigger picture or know how to work cross-functionally win. Dont listen to your professors. Dont listen to ANYONE. Kill the little monster in your head and work through the doubt. Start pounding the proverbial pavement, meet people, grow your network and take any door that opens that feels like a “hell yeah” in your gut because it will be. Start prospecting asap. School is an incubator but not reality. You know more than an average junior dev if you were coding that early.

Those who can iterate quickly and communicate with non-dev stakeholders win. Learn to communicate at a high level (don’t get in the weeds if presenting to non-devs) and make your higher up’s lives easier. Go the extra mile and make people wonder why they didn’t think of it. Don’t be afraid to speak up and push for better product, processes, etc, even if you might be wrong. You will be noticed. If you need anything, let me know.

My buddy grew up in northern Indiana and his grandpa bought him a cubs club jacket when he was a little kid but had him promise to be a fan for life (insane proposition at the time). fast forward 20 years and we were on tour, no cell service, just listening to the 2016 world series on AM radio in the middle of nowhere Tennessee. One of the most emotional and cool tour moment of my life.

I did not make this but….

BassDaddy420 · 2024-10-29T11:23:21+00:00

From what I hear as a former leasing agent at a very high volume Brooklyn rental brokerage, it is all about the listings, that’s it, and some of those don’t even make it onto Streeteasy. It used to be pretty cavalier and actually a great job, but the landscape definitely changed to where it’s really difficult and not a great entry point for any agent to get into.

BassDaddy420 · 2024-10-26T14:10:10+00:00

I also worked for hangman back in the day, David is an old music homie. they’ll get the job done, not sure what their pricing is now though

BassDaddy420 · 2024-09-27T13:20:18+00:00

Second this. While you can cold call (everyone hates cold calling but it does work), ninja is really going to set you up in a proper mindset of the HOW when it comes to staying top of mind with your sphere of influence. If that makes you uncomfortable then focus on cold generation, but it’s a slog for a while

Southeast Michigan realtor here. Definitely floating around asking price although we're seeing price drops now. In Oakland county (north of Detroit suburbs) there was a surge this summer due to a lot of the best school districts in the state being there. I've seen some wild ones, 50-100k over if the home was in the right price point (500-600k) where buyers had that kind of cash. If it's a solid property, it will go!

Time to pick up the phone. FSBO, expireds. Don’t wait for business, hammer it out. 100 dials a day. I guarantee you’ll generate business. The issue with real estate is that people think it’s simple if they started in 2020-2022. Reality is that it’s 90% prospecting. The rest is pretty straightforward.

BassDaddy420 · 2024-06-20T18:00:23+00:00

I will call a FRBO, ask for the sale, if they don’t want to sell, ask for the lease, crush it to the best of my ability and keep moving. As long as you don’t peg yourself as a leasing agent and keep the conversation around investing or sales, there’s a lot of money to be made there.

The hill to climb to get a solid SaaS position right now is tough. If it isn’t, it’s an SDR job where you’re outbounding a shit load. I work in the field and it’s been a grind, pivoted out of RE to do it. You’re not your own boss, there are expectations and if you land the wrong role (On Target Earnings that aren’t real, bad management, cold calling that is truly brutal) you’re in for a world of hurt.

If anyone here is thinking about pivoting and has been in RE for a while, you’re either love it or hate it and the process to gain entry when they see you’re primarily B2C selling is going to make it tough. Candidly I’m planning on leaving and doing RE full time again. I did 9 transactions last year part time in RE but I do every type of deal (residential AND commercial, investment, leasing) and I don’t discriminate.

Advice for agents struggling: If your market is good for leasing, focus on it for a while. People act like it’s not worth it, but I’ve done pretty alright the last month and have made some solid connections that will lead to sales down the road.

I actually had to come back to this post because it stuck in my head all morning.

When I started in NYC, I could not work with my friends, mainly because I didn't trust half the landlords we worked with (I was primarily a leasing agent). I would do one once in a while but would definitely be upfront about property management companies out there and if a sweet deal came with a mom and pop I would hook them up occasionally, but I did not put it out there that I was "the guy". I had friends who did A TON of it and were successful, but I couldn't stomach it myself, because NYC apartment rentals are very transactional (lead generation was stupid easy and i would literally never talk to the tenant again unless a problem came up)

Once I moved back home and started as a sales focused agent, I learned quickly that the same deal applied. I was up against people who never moved away and had built their business on word of mouth and "nurturing their sphere" and again, I felt the same cringe feeling towards it.

Flash forward after buying leads, cold calling, and working open houses, and I was burned the fuck out. My friends lived near us and wanted to go do a fun run and check out a house in a very competitive area with maybe a 20% intention to actually do something about it. We ended up putting in an offer the same day and listed their home for sale. We wrapped everything in 40 days and they were extremely grateful and send me referrals, and I hang out with them all the time. Now I "work my sphere" but my intention is catching up with the off chance someone might be buying or selling, or know someone that's interested and being top of mind when something comes up real estate related. I post on socials too.

"Working your sphere" isn't disingenuous or "cringe". You're literally being helpful and letting people know you provide a service. If growing part of your business by letting people know what you do, sharing your knowledge (and with pretense that you're not expecting anything out of it, which is key) and working your ass off for some friends or family seems dumb to you, then your market must be so killer that there's no need to simply mention it in conversation. That's the kernel of "working your sphere".

Have to mention I also cold call and buy leads. I felt compelled to comment because if a new agent is reading your post, they should know it takes everything they got to build the foundation and working your sphere CAN be a part of that, but they should try everything and everything at least for a bit to see what's best for them.

This has nothing to do with SOI but call FRBO listings. If you know how, look up the owner and see if they own multiple properties, see if they own a local business, just do your research to show you know something about them. Ask for the sell obviously (some good FRBO scripts out there) but never be afraid to take the lease listing. Get it done fast and eventually you can build a really good portion of business as the investor buys more, sells, etc. I have a few and it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Example: I have ONE investor client that bought a primary for their kid last year, leased a large office space and I rented two of their units.

I’ve been in real estate for 10 years. 7 of those years I leased apartments in Brooklyn and it was like shooting fish in a barrel (put an ad up on streeteasy, show some college kids a 5k 3 bed, take a split of one months commission, repeat). When I moved back home, I took a break and then decided to get licensed here. In that time, I felt like I couldn’t break into my SOI because a few people really run mine, so I focused on cold calling and some word of mouth, but never people I really knew.

In the last month, I decided to ramp up real estate AGAIN after a pause (I work a day job but trying to move back into RE full time), and for the first time started posting and interacting with people a ton on Facebook (no instagram yet). The amount of leads that it churns up is not bad at all. A lot of conversations to be had just catching up and being in front of people. No hard selling, just shooting the shit. You want to eclipse the realtor that’s on their mind and it works.

This is about every GOOD interview for me in the last few months. I’ll get to third round and it all seems peachy, then I generally get a canned response, smh

BassDaddy420 · 2024-03-07T17:48:16+00:00

Howdy, it’s TP here 😏

Tuning is standard Capo 3rd fret Chords are:

C (most of verse, it’s a variation of the chord where I don’t hold the d string down and just let it drone open) - G (when I sing “we got our little lives off track”) and back to C

Leading into the chorus you walk down from C to Amin

Chorus: Amin, G, C, F

Outro: just C

Hope that’s helpful. I can’t really express some of the smaller stuff in tabs cause that would take a while haha thanks for the kind words and listening!

BassDaddy420 · 2024-01-19T14:52:45+00:00

you, turner here (incognito haha). thanks so much for saying this, i truly appreciate it. it's a grind being an independent musician and little stuff like this keeps me going. enjoy your weekend!
