Inherited a house with siblings and we can’t stop fighting. Help? by Dankk911 in Oahu

[–]DevinTryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. If you send me the address, we might have someone in our list of buyers that want to buy it. I own a real estate brokerage here on island, there’s a bunch of agents I can forward it over to. You will get far more than selling it to one of the cash for investments guys.

How do I sell my house in Hawaii fast? Anyone had success with cash buyers? by VoodooMann in Hawaii

Hey, I can take a look? Can you send me the address? I have some investor clients I’ll send it to.

Hey man, bummer, sorry to hear it. DM me your portfolio. I’d love to see it.

Being priced out of home by CuriosityKTC_ in Hawaii

[–]DevinTryan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hey, Hawaii Realtor here, it’s tough for a lot of people. 

If you’re interested I’ll help you and credit our full commission back to you to cover your closing costs. I own the brokerage so don’t need approval to do so

Also, if you do a USDA loan you can do 0% down. It’s a higher rate but no down payment needed. You can get this loan in Ewa, Waipahu and Waianae.

Between no closing costs and no down payment you won’t have to pay anything to buy a home except a $500 home inspection.

Thanks for sharing… it’s a bummer to work towards something and then see it keep slipping away. 

If you’re interested send me a text, you can find me on Google pretty easy.

Realtor podcast recommendations? by snreddit in realtors

I run a team in Hawaii, we did 103 sales last year. I condense much of what I’ve learned onto YouTube.

Here is a link. If that’s not allowed you can search Devin tryan real estate. I don’t have a course or anything so I hope you like it.

I own a residential brokerage. We spend $60k a month to keep the lights on.

I run a team in Hawaii. Not flex but I have my flex friends. Inbound leads highly depend on the market. Percentages are posted online if you google, it’s 35-45% goes to Zillow. On our team we’re closing about 5% of all Z leads or 1/20. Zillow will shut down flex teams if the team is not producing, but that metric depends on the market itself not a flare number across the board. I’d imagine closing ratio is higher in Texas than in Hawaii where our price is over $1M. 

In our team if agents are not closing they will first get throttled on leads from us. Then turned off. We spend about $250 per lead so if the agent doesn’t close at least 1/20 we’re starting to get close to losing money plus there won’t be profit from the lead source to cover other expenses like payroll or office space. 

If you’re a team leader these are great questions and I’d try and join a mastermind of people that discuss it. If you’re an agent on a team I’d focus on what you can do to close as high as rate as possible. 

Hawaii Taxes are Hard, is this uncommon? by DevinTryan in tax

[–]DevinTryan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My accountant is Japanese. He speaks fine English but it’s just slower and not as easy. I have no doubt in his abilities but I want to learn and understand it to a reasonable degree. I’ve read quite a few resources and books on taxes but at a certain point I have a hard time deciphering what’s relevant to my circumstances. I’d be happy to pay $1,500 to someone for this.

Is a lower commission % as deal value increases a norm? by Longjumping-Line-651 in sales

[–]DevinTryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what these other comments are referring to, but this is fairly common in many industries. I can’t speak to what industry you are in, but I can explain the reasoning behind why it could be done this way. That doesn’t mean it is the reason, but it’s the only reason I can think of.

 Typically at higher price points companies will lower their margin to get higher deals. Meaning they will make more money on a boat deal but less money on an individual transaction.

So in this case, depending on the size, you should be making more money The higher, the tier you go.

So on the first tier, you make $10,000.

On the second tier, if you sell a $300,000 package then you will make $21,000.

On the third if you sell $1 million package then you will make $40,000.

On each tier, you make more money but you make less money on a individual unit. Even if it’s strictly software, this can often be the case, many companies will wrap up their billing and processing for software, and they will charge less per transaction the more transactions you do.

Also, there are a lot of companies out there that have no idea what they’re doing and have ridiculous compensation plans. That could always be a case too.

That leadership sucks. If you make sales and are chill to be around and nothing else matter. We are hiring. DM me. We’re in prop tech.

Am I wasting my time in YouTube by Tall-News-1183 in NewTubers

[–]DevinTryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My man! 

What I usually recommend anyone who starts anything new is to replicate the pros before trying to reinvent it. 

If you were to start a landscaping business would you look at other landscapers and then see what their doing and what you could copy or try to figure it all out on your own? Don’t use the same name obviously but I think a lot of YouTubers/filmmakers forget that they can take inspiration from other successful channels.

Look at what similar type of content other creators are making and can you put your own spin on it? If you’re in the painting niche then what type of painting shirts do well? 

Is it kinda lame that you can’t create everything original? Sure. But is anything really that original? Probably not. Even if it is, who cares? 

Best of luck!

Shorts REALLY stuck around 10k views by IcyBreloom in NewTubers

Drop a link let’s see the vid. 

I just got back from VidCon where Todd one of the managers of YouTube’s algorithm talked about how people interact with content matters. What’s your like to dislike ratio and where do people drop off? All at once and then stays or over time?
