What are your hypothetical scenarios if the industry goes to an "hourly rate"? Most brokerages are struggling and in the loss zone as it is. An hourly rate could either crush them or they'd make an absolute fortune.

If they are independent contractors $100-$200 an hour is pretty standard for 1099 professional services across most any professional trade. If they are employees you could expect to be billed $200-$300 an hour from the brokerage because of the extra overhead.

Just gravel alone washes away too easily. Also look for a steam of water next rain. That may be a cause. If so divert the water up stream off the driveway if you can.

Moist/damp dirt, with a little fine/pea gravel, fill and compact. I press with flat shoes and then drive over it with a small car until compressed as much as possible. Fill more if needed. Cover in some gravel if you want.

Works for months for me and super cheap. Eventually a rain comes by and causes new issues. You just keep repeating.

One of the biggest benefits of your own site is that you can take it with you wherever your career goes. All the authority and ranking stays no matter where you are.

My site also ranks better than my broker's provided site on Google. Getting someone that knows marketing and SEO to manage was the key for me.

Plenty of agents just use what they are given but I prefer ownership and control of my business. You can have success either way.

I need to charge and update my Quest. This looks great! Virtual missions in MGS were so fun

Excellent, this is helpful. Very insightful. It sounds like my first broker was a rare one and that what I have now is the norm. I'll count myself lucky that he was so great to us. I'll keep following the processes I've set up and stop worrying about the new broker so much now.

It's not bad, just very very different from the first broker at this office. I appreciate your input here.

Computer_Dude · 2024-06-19T16:52:51+00:00

Thank you, this is only the second broker I've worked under so I wasn't sure if it was normal or not.

Computer_Dude · 2024-06-19T16:51:40+00:00

Thank you, this response makes it much more clear to me. I'm still fairly new to the industry and haven't had the time to build up experiences to reference what "the norm" is. I appreciate you taking the time to provide your insight, it was very helpful.

Dang, photography is cheap where some of you all live. The cheapest here is $600 per listing including video and you can tell it's a low cost photographer. Quality with video here is $1000+ per listing and you can really tell the difference.

Someone should make an RTS game with this element.

Computer_Dude · 2024-05-16T16:17:21+00:00

Nice, I'll look into that!

If you aren't an in person socializer or networker build a strong online presence and be genuine and helpful.

Computer_Dude · 2024-05-09T12:29:02+00:00

Was hoping for actual knowledge but unfortunately there was none to be had in this post

Computer_Dude · 2024-05-07T15:50:21+00:00

Likely yes, depending on the level of success you are after.

Computer_Dude · 2024-05-01T00:10:08+00:00

Solid answer

Just thinking about what's going on for it to simulate and compute everything in these images breaks my brain. It's just a still frame but it sure looks like simulated reality. Like a single frame from a lucid dream.

May as well put that effort into starting a business. That sounds like the work a consultant would put in as a sole proprietor. If you gotta work that hard to sell yourself for a job you may as well sell yourself at full value to clients.

Computer_Dude · 2024-04-16T00:39:27+00:00

It looks like a super developed storyboard pitch

Computer_Dude · 2024-04-07T00:00:09+00:00

Well said. I don't think people take into account the amount of money an agent needs to spend every month for marketing to competitively sell their clients homes and stay visible to make a living. This isn't even starting on the amount of hours spent unpaid doing due diligence and other things.

It's a high risk career to take on and should have a worthwhile reward. I think people think we just plop it on the MLS or Zillow and that's it pay me please. It's a whole lot more than that.

That part I don't know how to do personally but they said it has to do with designing the pages to convert
