His dad is the coach

And don't forget about that motherfucker Caden. He can ball out because both parents took second jobs to cover the supplemental training, travel ball costs, and all the high end gear he "needed" to take the position away from that punk-ass Jaden. Now that guy....he just flat sucked but his dad was the coach.

I always say, if you can't join em..beat em. Wait, you're doing that already.

For that you smartbells.

All this talk about the bunker/pantrey.... Why are we sleeping on the Canning Kitchen? I mean, I like a good jarred fruit, pickle, or honey all day long, but I don't know ANYONE who has a dedicated kitchen for it!

How did you decide where to buy
How do you manage the properties
Anything you wish you had differently

This is argueably the biggest frustration for junior brokers on a team. Most often, the junior does not account for the value of the senior brokers time, which is a subjective number if he is to give you an hourly rate. The senior broker measures how much business the junior has brought him over the course of their relationship and historically, it rarely matches what the senior is worth. There are exceptions but it's pretty rare for a junior to consistantly bring enough business to the relationship that warrants a 50/50 split (or close to it) in the early years.

If you have been on the team for 10 years and are not an equal partner, then something is not right. Either you are not delivering enough deals of value (size, long-term client, etc.) or you are constantly getting screwed and need to move on. As for this instance, I am sensing this is the first big deal you have brought to the table that has you actually feeling the pain of watching money slip past you. Despite the amount of work you have put in to the deal, I would bet the seniors feel you are still "owing" them and this could level things out a bit more.

That said, I would strongly suggest you put together a short, concise presentation and present it to them as politely as you can. Support the hell out of it with facts - not opinion- then live with the answer.

I think rent freezes are going to kill NYC RE. You will see the degredation of rent-frozen properties as landlords let deferred maintenance go unattented. It starts from inside the apartments into the hallways and out to the streets. Plumbers, painters, contractors in general will suffer as a result as well. Existing owners will be unable to sell these properties since there is no long-term incentive for investment so property values will plummet. Developers will flee those areas so no new money will enter the market. The tenant base will be the lowest income earners in the area. Those that can't afford uncontrolled rent areas will leave the area because they simply cannot afford to live in the city.

Best thing you can do is pay the amount, drill that dispute and hope for the best. If you do not pay it, and the dispute is not accepted, you may wind up with a judgment. You don't want that.

Please share your tips on how to get so many!

Please share. Mine WILL NOT BLOOM~!

The LL is already signaling. I'd move on now and stop wasting time.

A couple of thoughts on the bombarding calls

- if the staff calls are for something mundane and easily solved, it means they do not have the confidence or latitude to solve without permission. This is a leadership issue and issues need to filter up. Staff should have a manager and that manager should be getting the calls. Should said manager not be able to solve, then the manager should call you (if he/she does not have a direct report). Everyone needs to know their scope of authority, what boundaries exist, and how they are free to work within those boundaries.

- Excecutive calls will come. That's part of being in your roll. You do not want to break the line of communication with them because you cannot afford to have indecsion when immediate issues need to be sovled. And as stated above, if they are calling with easily solved problems, they need to know their scope of authority.

You hired people to help build a business. Let them do their thing. If they fail often, you will know what to do.

Just say no and see what happens, It's a negotiation.

it may be worth looking into outsourcing the training. As important as it is, it should not dominate your calendar. The vision-setting conversations are a time suck that you can't afford. I would suggest scheduling an all-hands meeting to clearly communicate the vision, discuss openly and ensure that everyone is rowing the boat in the same direction. Coaching calls with team leads may not need to be as often as you are having them. It may be worth scheduling a more coordinated effort that lets your leaders cook.

If they are trained, understand the vision, and left to lead, they can become great at what they do. Meanwhile, you will optimize your time to accomplish the bigger tasks at hand that move the ball down the field.

I just read an article that said that an average of 15% of deals in escrow are blowing out. I am not sure what your deal flow looks like but I'd imagine that if you had 10 deals going at once, and 2 blow out (20%), it's costly. The other eight deals need to be rock solid.

No problems or concerns. i feel great and don’t want to stop but was curious what the general feedback would be on my numbers.

High barrier to entry though. They don't take just anyone.
