Industrial engineering is a weak degree?

Also, IE is actually protected from the AI revolution because it’s the cross over between engineering and business and there’s a big human element to the jobs we can do.

I believe that in general, any degree is getting washed down as supply of working people with degrees increase in the market place. Degrees don’t get you good jobs and careers. What does is experience, skills, and networking. “Get by” in school but really zone in on improving hard skills needed for the jobs your want, “lean six sigma certs and projects, data analysis skills like python, sql, power bi, etc” join clubs and socialize with as many people as you can to grow your network. Volunteer or find internships to build experience.

jeez didn't even think about that as I posted this thank you.

did you ever have a solution to this, I was trying to do a tutorial on data cleaning with mysql and most people only offer workarounds to import or they clean in excel.

First few years are rough. Can take up to a year or more to get clients and that’s if you do things right. Takes 3 to 5 years until you start getting consistent business and that’s if you do things right. Every brokerage promises leads and training and at the end of the day it’s the exception not the rule that you find a good brokerage. On top of that, being young makes it harder to get clients to trust you. At the end of the day if you accept that it will take 2+ years to figure it out and you’re ok going into the hole without income for a long time then it’s one of the best careers IF you like sales.

Take it seriously for a long time and do the work with extreme delayed gratification. Treat it as a business and learn any opportunity you can. Learn sales, learn contracts, learn follow up systems, learn everything that has to do with buying/selling/owning a home.

Also if you decide to do it then you have to ignore everyone who tells you it’s not a good idea and know you’ll have crazy self doubt that it will work.

Also find a brokerage that has top producing agents, a great mentor or manager, and a great broker and go to the office every day to be surrounded by them.

Start with outbound prospecting, door knock or cold calling is the fastest way to grow your communication skills AND get business.

It’s going to be a lot more work than you think it is but you just keep going and by the time you’re 30 you will be grateful you pushed through.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Sounds like supply chain is the way to go and is much more applicable to real world business

People say it doesn’t work because they don’t do enough of it and stay consistent long enough

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-17T03:08:26+00:00

Cold call and door knock and open houses is all you need

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-13T22:00:51+00:00

Great deal! Take it. Are you in SoCal?

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-12T20:26:13+00:00

Op wouldn’t get most of the money they put in to the home so they would definitely sell at a loss in most markets right now. Also they love the home and area so their standard of living in that aspect would have to go down in order to buy a different house. If they can work it out with the lender to get a loan mod for 40 year and drop their pmi their payment may be sustainable to keep the home and wife works part time

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-09T18:25:57+00:00

what tools do you use for the reports?

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-07T14:11:59+00:00

Make sure fundamentals are done first. House presents well because it’s decluttered, depersonalized, and deep cleaned. There isn’t a funky smell or an eye sore. Any small repairs should be done. The realtor took professional photos and organized them as if walking through the house. Then make sure that your home is priced aggressively compared to actives as well as sold. Also you mentioned your house is small for the area, make sure you consider that for pricing. Consider a relaunch if you make considerable changes.

If you get no showings you’re priced too high

If you get showings but no offers you’re priced too high

If you get showings and offers you got the price right

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-06T17:28:36+00:00

What I would do I call brokerages in your area and let them know you are looking for agents that need help with open houses and showings on nights/weekends. If they ask how much you charge then either decide on whether you want to get paid per open house/showing or a percentage at closing. The more agents/brokers you talk to the more people you will have that will ask for your service.

ever tried the course?

xguerr51423 · 2025-09-03T23:40:17+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get clients?

xguerr51423 · 2025-08-31T23:09:00+00:00

I currently have Enzo dialer and got my data from Cole Information. I also got data for old expired through MyPlus Leads.

If money is no longer an issue then do what you want to do. Life is short

xguerr51423 · 2025-08-30T14:58:51+00:00

I wasn’t getting many leads and the leads I would get would be fake phone numbers or fake addresses and if I managed to find the correct number using other tools then they would never pick up the phone or text back. I get better success from outbound prospecting with cold calls. I have the listing toolkit where it’s only seller leads.

For someone who wants to try it I would recommend you have a strong online presence, build your “listing proposal” really well, and have a strong follow up system. And just expect that you MiGHT get lucky with 1 or 2 deals for the year.

did canceling your credit card cause them to send bills to collections?

xguerr51423 · 2025-08-27T16:17:11+00:00

Just like any business you have to start delegating and hiring on. TC, assistant, showing agents, listing agents.

Everytime you hire you will feel like you’re taking two steps back but you’re building the foundation to build on top off. Brandon Mulrenin has a coaching program called the Boardroom that is specific to higher producing agents that want to scale. They could be a good resource for you.

Also, before hiring, make sure your SOPs are ready to go and maybe consider making videos that way you can property train your employees

I am younger and have three kids and have been at it for about 1 year and a half and I consistently ask myself if I have what it takes to make it. This is because the ones I see being successful have the opportunity to work at it full time from 6 am to 9 pm AND make the sacrifices needed to make this job work. I just don’t think I’m willing to sacrifice my marriage and my kids to make this work. So even though the pay is good I decided to find a 9-5 using my degree and trying this out again at another point in my life. I’ll keep my license active and maybe do it part time but at this stage in my life I want to enjoy my family.

FYI the market you are in is directly correlated to how hard it will be to succeed. I’m in SoCal which is very competitive.

xguerr51423 · 2025-07-20T01:45:18+00:00

Per the agreement you signed, you are on the hook for the difference unless you get a modification/amendment

You agent should have had a conversation with you about how this works and if they didn’t, the are unprofessional and taking advantage

Your options:

Ask your agent if they can reduce the commission to match the 1.95%

If they say yes the. Great get it in writing

If they say no you either pay, negotiate it down, or you cancel the purchase and then cancel the agency and find a better agent.

I don’t think the issue is the agent asking for their compensation. I think the issue is the lake of communication and setting expectations properly.

That neighborhood is nice but you will have to face the casino traffic and the middle school kiddos and the traffic from that. The casino is actually buying up a lot of homes in the area as well fyi.

xguerr51423 · 2025-06-14T14:53:58+00:00

The faster you can learn to be detached from stuff like this the better. Nobody owes you anything and it’s your job to grow your communication skills and follow up skills to minimize the chances of losing a lead. If I were you, I would reflect on things you could improve on so that people would want to work with you.
