The home sellers are not going to pay for ANY of the buyers fees. Stop spreading bad and hopeful information. The Home sellers will offer 2% listing fee and the buyers are going to be flat fee. Everyone needs to adopt the new rules. Stop being sneaky by hiding fees!
What are we trying to accomplish? MG you haven't figured that out yet? All sellers want a fast sale and most money as possible. Very little value covered IMO.
Jimmy - this video is simply amazing and inspiring- thank you for creating and sharing this! Mike Burton, HomeTeam Inspection Service of Central Panhandle.
This video was full of amazing really great strategies to show the buyer your worth before you even ask for a dime from them. Brilliant! @jimmyburgess Does Andrew have a similar video detailing his listing presentation?
I totally agree with you! I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want to make a difference for Realtors in Texas and help them succeed! But I also want to increase my business. I love tech and that is what excites me! But I think I lost my “WHY?”
Thank you again Sir--its good to be reminded that there is no real growth in the comfort zone. It takes being willing to be uncomfortable for the greater goal in view. This is good-God bless you.
I love this info. I struggle with the daily conversations though. If I'm standing in line at a coffee shop, how do I say "hey I'm a Realtor" without sounding like a used car salesman?
I've always found if I'm truly interested in who they are and ask them what they do for a living they end up asking me what I do. I agree that leading with being an agent is the worst thing you could do.
Thanks Jimmy for these reminders, one that I am working on is this 🌟 04:00 Build a community that connects clients and local businesses while captivating your audience with valuable insights to transform your business and life.
with todays prices of homes some areas doubled in just 3 years there is NO value you can think of that justifies commissions of 30-40-100 or more THOUSAND DOLLARS COMMISSIONS that's the definition of PURE GREED
John, in some cases yes, in others where truly professional agents are working for their clients maybe not. I do appreciate your thoughts and it is going to be an interesting 3-6 months to see what and who washes out as the market adjusts to the new industry norms.
You might overpay for a home. Many times sellers ask too much. Agents also negotiate the price down sometimes 3 times more throughout escrow process. We’ve negotiated 300+ sales it takes time to learn these skills just as you’ve learned in your own career. I work 12 hours a day to learn my market.
Buyers have been able to represent themselves, especially on the seller side via FSBO, forever. There will always be a portion of the market that is experienced enough or believes they are that will choose to represent themselves. I will be interested to see how all of this shakes out over the next 3-6 months. Thanks for your thoughts.
We can agree on the fact that some agents are overpaid, and hopefully agree to disagree on all agents being overpaid. I think the key in your statement is that you have never used one before and that is a point a lot of people forget. there has always and always be that option of not using an agent. Thanks for your input.
Lots of moving parts here. The key is to find an agent that clearly shows they are worth the potential commission the buyer will be paying for or decide to represent yourself.
Arturo, this is a great point. I think the pros have always provided value and the settlement effectively made it harder for the agents that don't provide value to go unnoticed. Thanks for your question and great point.
This guy is all about keeping status quo and having the seller keep paying for the buyers agent commissions. I want to know how these buyer agent agreements are going to be written. If they’re charging 2% to 3% commissions then why would a seller offer 5%-6% commissions for the listing agent?
It is all working out now, but the majority of the buyer agency agreements state the buyer's side commission mentioned on the buyer's agreement will be offset by any compensation being offered to the seller.
To all the agents listening to this. Do not tell a buyer I guarantee to get the lowest interest rate!?? So you’re going to save the customer $12 on their mortgage payment and screw the lender out of feeding their family , but I’m going to charge you 3% or $9000 on a 300k purchase to open a door for you!!?? Instead , tell the buyer you vet out the best lenders in the market. They have great rates, they’re professional and they will close on time. Because I work with the best. If you’re so concerned with saving them $12 on their payment, why don’t you drop your commission to 1% and save them $6000? Learn how to sell.
