Clients are starting to ask about Rent-to-own options or \"lease with the option to purchase\" Form Number?

No rent to own form. We owner finance, look up seller finance form... ask a broker for help on filling this form. You don’t want to mess it up. You should also know that most sellers will not want this option so maybe 1-2% of the inventory available would be available for this type of purchase.

Anything you learned or would have done different?

Do Open Houses EVERY Weekend. You will get your first sales this way.

Where should I look for lenders, other than the white pages?

If you're looking for a trustworthy lender, feel free to contact meI know a great one and would be happy to connect you.

They say about 85% of Realtors get out of the business within the first 5 years, this is obviously due to income. What can a new realtor expect the first few years with all of the learning and training before you take the training wheels off and really start rolling. Approximately or about average?

I agree with Veronica that you decide what you want your income to be and then back up and set goals to achieve it. I don''t believe the reason agents, as you state, get out of the business in five years because of the money. I think it is because it is hard work to be a successful agent. Some people enter into real estate as a career because they think it is easy money. It is more than showings some homes, writing contracts and waiting for the check to arrive. Being a Realtor is running a small business, your small business. As with any business operation it is usually a slow start that builds year upon year, you get out what you put into it and most successful agents I know put in a lot of hours to be where they are today.

Most people suggest using outlets such as Facebook to generate leads, but most of those people are already your friends and family. I''m talking about new solid leads with real people ready to take action in Real Estate. Rent/Purchase/Sale

This takes time and experience. You are going to have to be a devoted agent for a few years and take extra courses to prove you are knowledgeable about the business. I struggled for the first 2 yrs and then I started spending about $1K per month on ads in local newsletters and being very visible in my community. It finally paid off and now after 18 yrs I don''t have to advertise at all. All of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals from past clients. I sent them thank you cards with nice gifts and reach out to my sphere of influence at least twice a year.

Hello Fellow Realtors! Are there any small recommended brokerages that offer commission splits without monthly fees??

My brokerage Worth Clark Realty is amazing, you get to keep 100% of your commission, there is a company stock option. You can pay monthly, quarterly or annual to join. Reach out to me if your interested, I can set up a meeting.

Stacy provided this first-time home buyer with all of the knowledge I needed. I had a lot of questions about the process, and she was able to help with all of them. She got me into the perfect house for me and even helped me find financing for a condo, which can be challenging.
