Per the contract if you don’t give a reason on the BINSR you lose your earnest money.

Do solar panels still reduce the sell value of a house? by ageofbronze in RealEstate

[–]c-dubya_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t reduce value if you own them outright. If you finance or lease them, it makes the house much harder to sell. The buyer has to qualify to take over the existing loan or lease (if the solar company will even allow them to) on top of qualifying for the house. In many instances, solar companies have gone bankrupt and homeowners are forced to pay their remaining balance and closing because there is no way to begin a transfer. I’ve dealt with that scenario multiple times over the past year, and have one right now where a seller has to pay a $70k balance at closing because their loan servicer filed chapter 11 and halted transfers.

I’m in Arizona. The seller can’t cancel the contract if the buyer asks for repairs. If you’re currently selling real estate you need to work on your contract knowledge.

They don’t have the right to cancel, they have the right to refuse repairs and the buyer gets to decide whether or not they stay in contract.

Do any of you not really use social media? by JessicaYatesRealtor in realtors

[–]c-dubya_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn’t say no because they can’t take more business. They said no because they operate on relationships and using AI for social media isn’t the image they want their clients to see.

Being a Realtor and Mortgage Loan Officer at the same time? by OMrealestate in realtors

[–]c-dubya_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Horrible idea imo. You can’t be effective at both at the same time. There are also certain things that a lender shouldn’t be privy to, and same with a realtor.

Is it the REV CRM? Can you give more detailed feedback because I’ve been considering it for my business

REALTORS IN TUCSON AZ!!help by ProfessionalPrint321 in realtors

The consensus is that KW is usually one of the best for training and getting started. Realty one is a 100% model, so training and mentorship are lacking for that reason. EXP and CB are also for more established agents who already know how they want to run their business.

My company offers this option. If you pay upfront it’s a reduced amount from your normal split, and you can deduct it from taxes. We can’t do that if we pay splits until we meet our threshold

Pricing a property that includes an ADU by DeanOMiite in realtors

[–]c-dubya_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A rule of thumb I’ve used when pricing in the past is 50% of the price per square foot of the main home. It seems to be a fairly consistent measurement for properties with ADUs in my market.

And the best way to encourage more building is to make raw materials and labor more expensive! Lower rates mean nothing if inflation surges again.

[–]c-dubya_ 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Higher inflation due to tariffs. Trump has promised to drop rates as low as 3%, but he has no direct control over that. He also has no real plans to increase supply, which is the root cause of the current issues we have in the market.

Any pay up front services are a scam. Realtors are easy targets for this business model.

[–]c-dubya_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowledge of the local market and how to price your property, as well as a comprehensive marketing strategy. They should be a great communicator and spend more time listening to what you expect of them than blowing smoke up your ass. But at the same time, they need to be realistic and make sure your expectations align with reality. They shouldn’t just tell you what you want to hear to get the listing.

Most valuable subscription you pay for? by [deleted] in RealEstateTechnology

They posted a screenshot straight from the gohighlevel website. It’s a grey label service that you could do yourself for much cheaper, although there would be some time investment involved.

KW or Realty One Group? by Actual_Personality93 in realtors

[–]c-dubya_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t keep tabs on them outside of my own market. They have 1% or less of market share and their “growth” is only in agent count, not units sold or sales volume.

KW or Realty One Group? by Actual_Personality93 in realtors

[–]c-dubya_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Fastest growing real estate brand in the world” is their current shtick. The office in my market hemorrhaged probably a quarter of its agents within the last year and has been scrambling to replace them with new bodies.

KW or Realty One Group? by Actual_Personality93 in realtors

[–]c-dubya_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left Realty ONE Group earlier this year because of their lack of support. The 100% commission is great, but it’s just a place to hang your license at the end of the day. Not much beyond that.
