新房产经纪人的苦恼

我直接google找的，就搜你在的地区+rebate agent，看评价啊。不要太依赖推荐，奥斯汀本地群里有个人正在 ...

嗯嗯，在微信群维权？这还是头一次听到这种操作

加油！  我是maryland virginia地产经纪人，刚开始两年没什么客户，后来逐渐多起来，并且大多来自原来客户的介绍。 房产经纪人的口碑很重要，一定不要为了急于做成一单生意而欺骗、隐瞒客户。 实话实说，可能客户当时不同意，但是长时间相处下来就知道谁是对的了。一切以客户利益为重，例如看到 settlement fee 不合理都会为客户争回来，虽然只有几百块，但是客户还是会记得的， 以后还会在你这买卖的，或者推荐好友的。 不要急，慢慢来。  加油！

Friends, before you go and ask for a discount on commission from a Realtor for helping you sell your home, please understand what you're truly asking for them to do ... and ask yourself this question: If your boss came to you and asked you to work overtime, but wasn't going to compensate you for doing so, would you still do it?

Another day, another person who says realtors are overpaid and an unnecessary part of a transaction. I’m assuming that those who think this have either been watching too much Million Dollar Listing or think they know how to do it all on their own.

A few things to consider:
There is no salary in their job.  No guaranteed income for them until the home actually sells.  If it doesn’t go through for any reason, all of hours and time spent helping you and your loved ones go without any compensation for the time spent.  You see 3% on a $200k home as $6k. The agents sure don’t.  That commission is paid to them:
- Before taxes
- Before broker splits
- Before marketing
- Before board dues
- Before office bills
- Before professional photographs on your home
- Before professional staging on your home
- Before all the other costs of doing business

Out of what’s left of their checks after all this, they can then begin paying for everything else. But wait, that’s not all!
They don’t get afforded a lot of the things you enjoy at a 9-5 job.

They don’t receive:
- Employer healthcare
- Employee matched retirement accounts
- Paid vacations
- Weekends off
- Nights off
- Maternity leave
- Bereavement pay/leave
- Company car
They pay for all of this out of our own pockets. Every single penny.
Yes, there are some realtors married to people working company jobs who receive some of these benefits. But the vast majority of real estate agents, they support their families on what’s left after their benefits are taken out and spoken for.

Yes, they did choose to sell real estate. It’s a career which they love and it allows virtually uncapped growth and income potential. But they also have to often be available at any time of the day when needed. Whether it’s showing homes at 7pm, writing offers at 11 pm or doing final walkthroughs at 6am. They are there, available to help their clients when they are needed.

So before you tell another one of them that they make too much money and aren’t really needed anymore, I encourage you to do the following ...
Get your own real estate license, start lead generating on your own, find clients who like you and trust you to help them with the BIGGEST purchase of their lives.
Make sure you know not only what goes in the blanks of the contracts, but also what the promulgated parts of them say. Learn the legal steps of what happens once you write a contract, and what business partners are a good fit to help you and your clients and who’s a scam.

Try and keep deals together when they’re about to go south with critical thinking skills all while staying within legal parameters. Educate your new homeowner clients about what’s going to happen after they close and what to expect in the years to come.
Then listen, repeatedly, as others tell you the money you’ve been paid is WAY too much and they could do what you’ve done for much, much less.
Exhausting, isn’t it? 😲🤯

I cannot AGREE more with you!!! I quit my DBA job and became a full-time realtor when I was 33. Earning money is necessary, but not the most important reason as a career. Being a realtor has a lot of challenges, even the entry line is low (Not as easy as you think, if you really want to learn something from the exam study.) I enjoied it. I love meeting new people, hearing new stories and helping them as much as I can.

Of course, at the same time, I hope my clients could respect my work and my time at the same time. :)

借这个楼给自己打个小广告。我是湾区的新agent。欢迎骚扰~~可以给公司允许的范围内的rebate。我在南湾住了多年，也买过几次房子，想做这个也是因为自己特别有兴趣。我也做过engineer，但并不觉得做agent就怎么样。每行都有各种各样的人，人品水平会参差不齐。买房子这件事我觉得不必要太纠结于多一点少一点的rebate，更该关心的是agent能不能对你负责，这个通过对话和看房应该能看出来吧。。。并不是每个agent都是为了多赚那个commission，很多人都是有良心的。谢谢楼主开这个楼，加油~~

求个方式啊楼主。想找你写offer. 谢谢
