  • 5 Things to AVOID as a Real Estate Agent

    Real estate school does a fantastic job at teaching you things that will land you in jail as an agent. However, it doesn't teach you much about how to write a contract, work with buyers and sellers, or real world things to avoid when doing your daily real estate activity. 

    Today, we will tell you things you may be doing now that you should AVOID.  In this week's podcast you will learn:

    ▶️ Disclosures and Disclaimers
    ▶️ Negotiating over the phone
    ▶️ Paying for things out of your own pocket
    ▶️ Reducing your commission too soon (agents that work with us get an average of 2.92%)
    ▶️ Trying to play every role (CPA, attorney etc)

    We also tackle a market update talking about the news around changes to mortgage price adjustments in different credit score bands. Like and subscribe!
