Episode 999: Real Estate Agent Tips: 3 Questions That Expose Desperation
About this episode
What happens when a listing is withdrawn usually involves desperate real estate professionals breaking the rules just to get a seller's phone number. Even after years working in the real estate industry, certain real estate brokers still act like hungry wolves over a single withdrawn property listing. When the housing market gets tight, real estate scarcity takes over. Suddenly, your average listing agent conveniently forgets the Realtor Code of Ethics and starts aggressively stalking sellers. Relying on desperately holding onto your next closing a real estate transaction means you are building a trap, not a true real estate career.
Let us talk about the absolute joke that is pocket watching in the real estate business. Thanks to updated MLS rules regarding buyer agent commission, a local realtor will literally sabotage perfectly good real estate deals just because the buyer representation agreement pays the other side slightly more. Newsflash: protecting the seller net sheet and handling real estate negotiation are the actual responsibilities you have. Comparing real estate agent salary checks shouldn't ruin a deal. Letting your ego create appraisal risk and financing drama is a way to destroy your real estate income. Instead of crying foul, you need to focus on real estate financial planning and building multiple income streams for realtors so you quit reeking of desperation at the closing table.
Here are the exact things we discuss to help you survive selling houses today:
- Why chasing an exclusive right to sell agreement after it goes dark creates major realtor code of ethics violations and makes you look incredibly unprofessional to every other real estate licensee.
- The brutal truth about real estate side hustles and why establishing steady real estate lead generation beats juggling five weak part time jobs.
- Ways to handle real estate client advice avoiding personal feelings about agent compensation rules tanking the transaction.
- Direct real estate career advice to secure repeat real estate business and build true wealth avoiding annoying every client in your local real estate market.
