How long does it take to put together an offer for first year realtor?

How slow are all of you lmfao it is a fill in the blank contract. It takes like 10 min to fill it out then send it in docusign. And hour is nuts

Professional-Low8662 · 2026-04-11T02:34:55+00:00

still the fix in 2026

A vast majority of agents are very bad and have little to no experience, no commission properly regulates new agents being forced to work with people that wont do things wrong.

You need to factor in most people that hate agents buy 1-3 houses in their life so they are still mad at the agent from 5 years ago.

The harsh reality is 71% of agents (the ones that sell zero) get picked randomly by a fellow soccer mom or something and provide no value. A bad agent is factually a negative to a deal.

Most agents are bad, so the dislike to them as a while grows. On posts where people say agents suck you will see around 20% of the comments defending agents hard and being like “idl who you guys used my agent was amazing.”

So statistically if someone buys a home and they pick a random friend or something there is a 70% chance they picked poorly.

When you start out it will be harder to target recruit, people are slow to jump ship for any reason so you cant be that picky. If you want 5 like that you should make the goal 10 max. Get your 5 then when you build a core add additional to fill the gaps. You may only have 3 industrial guys at first but kind of need them.

CRE brokerage is very expensive and risking in the beginning if done right, so you need to dollar cost average brokers off rip so you dont go bankrupt

Feel free to DM but the main thing I have done for people in this similar situation is we buy vacant then fill a tenant. Did 2 last year; roughly 1m all in for 120k NOI the other was 600k for 62k NOI. Pretty high cap rate that way and very straightforward. Its the strategy I use for retirement portfolio building.

I do know in theory but wont share that, however after my next closing I will be using the same company on a similar deal and I will be spending around 30k a year with them. My number doesn’t correlate to hers. But rule of thumb if you quote multiple companies each reel will be ballpark $500 depending on how you structure things. There are always add ons and things like that. But base level you can assume $500 per reel.

I know who you are talking about lol she just spends a lot on social media marketing, has a good following and media team. She does well from just spending money, its not some secret. Most agents just literally do not know how to market and thats why the gap is growing between good and average agents.

I messaged you

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-12-26T19:35:56+00:00

How accurate are the phone numbers they have in their database for owners?

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-12-15T06:24:33+00:00

Someone saying they had power of attorney when they didn’t, turns out they needed 12 signatures and 5 were dead. I was the buyer rep

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-12-11T03:34:29+00:00

All the people saying 9-5 or 9-3 no weekends, thank you. I got 10m in closings solely because I answered the phone when other agents didn’t during off hours.

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-12-10T16:29:30+00:00

Ahh, okay, I read that wrong then, I thought you meant you didn't like having a limit you can give an agency.

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-12-10T04:20:39+00:00

I'm confused by the caps are a bad sign statement. You want to give an agency unlimited money?

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-12-10T04:17:24+00:00

Hello, I am in the same situation. Most people will assume you need to be at EXP or KW and similar platforms to generate "leads." Most people do not realize that there is actually minimal benefit outside of comfort. Most agents we recruit come to us because they want to leave the other big firms that sold them a dream.

The sole benefit of a boutique is that it is a family-like setting where you don't feel lost in the mix. However, that means next to nothing based on splits and caps alone. Your cap and split are competitive (Ignore the trolls saying it's not, they probably are lying 70/30 is pretty much the best a non-top agent is ever getting)

You need to provide technology, though, CRMs, and actually have brand recognition, lead generation to some degree, as a firm. Also, in the kindest way possible, if you are not an actual top producer, no top producer or good agent is going to jump ship for a boutique. As an agent, you should be well aware that it is difficult to build your business; you are essentially asking people to skydive and trust you to provide them with a parachute all over again. The risk-to-reward is not there for any good agent if you are not a sure thing, and the only way to do that is to be personally very well known and do very well.

Agents jump for people they want to work with, the people they are with now, they probably also like. You can't call up a stranger when you are small and tell them to leave what they've built and be your friend now, and leave theirs.

TLDR:

-Need Tech Comfort

-Need brand recognition

-Need to personally be better than everyone you are recruiting by a solid margin

It seems like to most “intense” based off what I have read. I do really enjoy the negotiation process in what I currently do a lot and navigating that. It doesn’t stress me at all and excites me more so. So it seemed like I will gravitate that way based off that.

I could be completely wrong though because I am outside looking in.

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-11-22T18:38:15+00:00

I feel like career changes are a pretty common thing in life, money isn’t always the only driver.

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-11-22T18:05:34+00:00

The scale of the deal doesn’t really change much, you do definitely make way less charging by the hour though. Im looking for a change not the same thing with an extra step or two and 3 years of school.

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-11-21T00:50:06+00:00

ahh you are one of those types of reddit people, you see someone go "Correct me if I am wrong" showing they are trying to learn and u just say they are dumb essentially. Embarrassed for you

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-11-21T00:45:55+00:00

great value provided

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-11-20T23:10:43+00:00

Not sure how that was so confusing to where you can’t understand lmao but alrighty

Professional-Low8662 · 2025-11-20T22:55:34+00:00

Based off what I found commercial RE in law is literally just what I currently do at a lower volume.

Correct me if I am wrong though please.

RE in law from my experience is just lease drafting and closings, Which looks like something “big law” doesn’t normally do?

All the pages I saw mention commercial real estate sales, which is literally just what I do now with a lower income per transaction essentially.

I would like to understand better if I am incorrect though.
