Hello BP Members, 

I'm a new realtor and I have been tasked with getting 2 listings by the end of May. I'm a brand new wet behind the ears agent and I want go get some feedback from some of the agents here with BP that have been in the real estate business for some years. I'm with KW in the DFW area I'm taking the BOLD training through KW and I have to get two listings by the end of May any feedback would help.

I'm curious as to how I can win over my customers to trust me to list their home for them

Thanks in advance.

I agree the toughest thing is to get someone to trust you with the most stressful sale and their largest asset when you have to prove you know what you are doing.   My best advice is to partner with another well respected agent for a few transactions. Do the grunt work for them, see how they operate, go to listing presentations with them and learn the trade.

Best of luck!

Thanks Christine!

Hey @Marcus Nickson , go to some REI events in your area and talk to investors, anyone doing flips may be interested in working with you if you can offer less than 6% commission. I've seen a lot of listing agents do 4%, where they receive 1% and the buyer's agent receives 3%. It's not ideal, but in the end it's a lot easier to sell an investor's remodeled house than the average person's used/worn down house.

Good luck,

Hans

Thanks @Hans Schmitt !
