I’ve watched a lot of Jim’s videos, most are just funny but some have valuable tips. This particular video is very informational. Thanks again Jim.

Yes agents and lenders are going to attack my comment.

Agents wont lower their commision. They’ll say their broker wont allow them.

It’s way better to have your bank reject your loan than dealing with a broker that will seek out any program just make them money.

Real estate agents justify there hard work between Oprah commercials.

Lenders justify there hard work between long lunches.

There’s nothing they can do that you can’t!

It’s your money. It’s your life. It’s your note!

You have pretty much killed any chance for the new agents who are in the business that are talented.
What would you do Jim if a seller saw this video right before you came to present before them in your first or second year in the business?

More often than not, you’re not talking about those numbers. You’re talking about an agent selling 30 houses per year in the business for a long time, or an agent in their first couple years with 3-5 deals per year. Most sellers want the person with the most experience. If you’re in your first couple years, and feel like your experience is costing you deals, find a “Mentor” in your office that will let you use his name and experience. Tell your sellers that you work closely with them. It works.

Great advice Jim. As far as a better indicator, I like to look at the number of homes sold to the number of listings taken. All else being the same, if I were given the choice between the agent that listed 100 homes a year and only sold 70% and an agent that listed 50 but sold 95%, I would probably go with the 95% agent…

Broker supervision is a lost art, but yes when in place it can really ramp up the learning curve for new agents quickly. The blog discusses a variety of current real estate issues, thanks for checking it. bubbleinfodotcom

I am on board with that logic Jim. In addition, as long as a newer agent has a strong, dedicated broker backing him/her, such escrow problems can also be handled. Best of luck with business and I look forward to checking out your blog as well.
