I’m a new agent so I’m still feeling them out but coming from Keller Williams I feel like I had more support there. I switched because exp realty seemed to have better commission structures but it comes with doing more on my own. Maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way so I’m open to any agents sha...
If you are an investor or a realtor in Houston I welcome your feedback. I built a tool for my investor clients that automatically calculates EVERY listing on HAR (our MLS) and it tells you if it cash flows. Then it allows the user to filter the properties based on how they want to finance the pro...
Recently spent 2 weeks in Africa, the highlight being a safari, that even by safari standards ended up being pretty special for multiple reasons. I've naturally been reflecting on it and here are some of my main take away thoughts - PS none of these are groundbreaking - what made is special was t...
I am an investor (flips and LTRs) who is in the process of getting my real estate license to use for my own deals. Wondering what brokers those of you in the same situation use, who allow you to only do your own deals. Thank you!
Hello After underwriting a Multifamily near East Market District(I Looking it up on a map). Recently I was in town and drove pass the subject property. Not terrible, so Now I am looking to speak with CRE brokers locally and property managers to get a better understanding of the market.
Honest question for other agents, because I might be making my own life harder than it needs to be. I'm representing a buyer on a rural property and it hit me that everything I know about whether the place is compliant and legally used came from the seller's side. The seller disclosure says the s...
I put "investors" because a lot of the people reaching out as investors quite frankly aren't actually investing. The big differentiator for me that I see with investor clients is what I call putting the deal before the house. What I mean is how many investors reach out to me and ask me if I'm wil...
Not just the number of inquiries you generated. I mean what happened after each person contacted you. Was the inquiry answered? Did anyone qualify the lead? Was a viewing scheduled? If the person was not ready to buy, was there a plan to follow up later? Or did the conversation simply stop? These...
Consider this illustrative example. A real estate agency generates 100 inquiries in a month. Some people are looking to buy immediately. Others are comparing options. Some are not ready yet, while others stop responding after the first conversation. The agency focuses on getting more inquiries bu...
Real estate agents handle property inspections, client meetings, negotiations, and countless other responsibilities. So it is understandable that an inquiry can sometimes get missed. The problem begins when there is no system to catch it. A simple lead-handling process could look like this: A pot...
Imagine someone submits an inquiry about a property they are interested in. They are serious enough to ask for more information. They may even be ready to book a viewing. But nobody responds for several hours. During that time, the person has not stopped looking for a property. They have simply c...
For the last several years, $500 and a reliable pulse could make you an agent, and you could actually do well. Not anymore. Deals take more work, clients expect more, and there are a lot of agents out there who aren't as busy as they were a couple years ago. The part-timers and the people who don...
A lot of investors have a story about an agent who didn't get it. Sent them a pretty house with no numbers, didn't know what a rent roll was, or pushed a deal that only worked on paper. When we built our team, we built it around the same things we use to run our own rentals. Treat it like a busin...

I’m excited to join the BiggerPockets community and connect with investors, experienced real estate professionals, a...
I'm interested in learning how real estate agents manage their prospecting and follow-up systems. One challenge in real estate is that a potential client may be interested today but not ready to buy or sell for several weeks or months. I'm curious about how experienced agents handle this. 1. How ...
I'm a marketing and automation guy, not an agent. I built this lead system for an agent client I work with, and I'm sharing it because the result went against what most of us believe about lead forms. In 2 months his seller lead cost went from $87 to $18, he got 160+ seller leads, and lead qualit...
Agents: 120+ Days on Market. Another Price Reduction—or Different Terms? I keep seeing properties sitting on the market for 90, 120, sometimes 180+ days. And the conversation often goes straight to another price reduction. Sometimes price is the obstacle. Other times, the buyer simply can't make ...

I have a situation where an owner and current tenant have already worked out the basic terms of a sale and mainly need the purchase agreement prepared properly. For those of you who offer limited-service or transaction-only help, what do you typically charge for preparing the agreement and handli...
I've been thinking about what investors are running into in today's market, especially when it comes to finding properties that actually make sense financially. Between acquisition costs, financing, renovation expenses, and finding deals with enough margin, it seems like there's a lot more to con...

Hey everyone! 😊 I've been connecting with more real estate agents lately, and it's made me realize how much goes on behind the scenes that most people probably don't even think about. I'm curious, what's one thing people constantly misunderstand about being a real estate agent? Whether it's how m...
