I had to chime in on this.
JT
Going to a realtor to learn about real estate is
like going to a used car salesman to learn how the car works, for the most
part neither understands the products they sell, just self promotion and
commission checks are what they are focused on.
Gordon,
you assume to much, she is a newbie real estate
investor, read her email address
Find the busiest agent in your market
area........the "busiest" because he/she is the most ethical, who are you kidding, I think we have a true believer here. LOL!
If you believe successful people are the most ethical than by all means start
your day with a thorizin drip.
But if what you are really offering is
"nothing"...........then go away, and stop trashing our way of
life........the agents in this crazy business that CARE are trying to offer
the "sellers" some sort of program to justify the crazy commissions we charge.
If you are offering "nothing".......then charge the sellers "nothing". what this passage means is that Gordon is frustrated and does
not make much money. Judging by his website around 19 listings and and 13
agents, as per your litmus test for success, I guess you guys need to
work on your ethics
In short Gordon don't be
such a dick with someone who is trying to better themselves, hopefully you are
not this person and just responded due to the stress of a bad day. Gordon,
sorry to jump on you Someone needs to help poor Maria out here. Not just
transfer they own negativity on her for asking a simple
question
Maria
do not let negative people spoil your goals for
you, as for learning real estate investing from a real estate agent, you may
find one to do that from, good luck, 90 percent of them have no idea what we
do and will be quick to dismiss us as it interferes with their limited
knowledge of real estate, Generally the busiest brokers in town are not
investor's, just good marketers and someone who has paid there dues in the
market and has name recognition, which ( good for them for achiveing their
goals).
Maria, as far as buying seller leads spend your
money doing your own marketing, I have tried to buy leads and they all are
junk, picked over many times and sold to many people. get a couple books on
marketing and make a plan. Try the Guerrilla marketing series by Jay Conrad
Levinson
Here is another tip, go to www.nationalreia.com and find your
local real estate club there you can network with like minded people. Real
estate investing can be a springboard to helping you achieve goals and
dreams
Thats all I have to say about that.

Dear Maria,
As a real estate broker in Oregon....I
have one question for you, Maria?
If I were a seller of real estate, why
would I work with you?
What are you offering
me?
You say you've been in the "business"
for a few months..........been in what? business for a few
months?
Real Estate?
Do you have a
license?
If not.......here's some great
advice.
Find the busiest agent in your market
area........the "busiest" because he/she is the most ethical........AND
offers the most services to his/her clients.
Ask him/her to take you under their
wing.....and find out what it is that you can offer their clients.....buyer
or seller.
If it's
nothing......get the hell out of this
business.
It you have something
concrete to offer their clients.....tell the agent what it is..........and
they will know how to "plug" you into the system to make everybody
happy.
But if what you are really offering is
"nothing"...........then go away, and stop trashing our way of
life........the agents in this crazy business that CARE are trying to offer
the "sellers" some sort of program to justify the crazy commissions we
charge. If you are offering "nothing".......then charge the sellers
"nothing".
Thank you.
Sincerely,
A Broker who is gettting ICREASINGLY
pissed with part-time "realtors" who
offer............shit.
Cordially,
Gordon & June
