Either way, the …
Either way, the market dictates the sale of the house a lot of variables go toward or against the sale of the house. They are too numerous to mention in this space. As long as the seller is cooperative with the agent in pricing the house reasonably it should sell.

These are all good …
These are all good tips. Good going Jim Klinge. I have only a few constructive things to say: New agents also need listings so they can become experienced. So there is no harm in giving listings to new agents as long as they are confident enough to handle it. Second, the bubble talk – agents can lie their way through it and win the listing anyways.

This kind of tips …
This kind of tips should come from an uninterested party. Who should they hire YOU? It is so upsetting to see how some people easily forgets about their humble beginings. He bashes new agents to make it appers as he is the one to call. I am sure that when he first started on the business he had not sold not even one house and yet he wanted the sellers to hire him.

You know an agent …
You know an agent is lying if his or her lips are moving. They give you all the lines–”I love this house, it will go first day”–”We’ll get the full asking price”–”I work for YOU and you’ll never find a harder working agent”
Well, the second you sign they are plotting to rip you off and get rid of the house any way they can, and as fast as they can. Agents have to be replaced with a better system. It will come. Let those cockroaches starve

BIRDDOG ALERT: I’m offering 1% finders fee on my 63 unit apartment for sale in Thunderbay Ontario. That’s $22,500.00 in your pocket if you bring the buyer to the table. This is no joke. It will be a win win situation if I can sell my building so please try and find me a buyer and I’ll gladly pay you 1% of the purchase price which amounts to 22.5k. Please email this to all your friends who might need money. Details at: mshinvestments(.)com

Yes agents and …
Yes agents and lenders are going to attack my comment.
Agents wont lower their commision. They’ll say their broker wont allow them.
It’s way better to have your bank reject your loan than dealing with a broker that will seek out any program just make them money.
Real estate agents justify there hard work between Oprah commercials.
Lenders justify there hard work between long lunches.
There’s nothing they can do that you can’t!
It’s your money. It’s your life. It’s your note!

You have pretty much killed any chance for the new agents who are in the business that are talented.
What would you do Jim if a seller saw this video right before you came to present before them in your first or second year in the business?
June 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
More often than not …
More often than not, you’re not talking about those numbers. You’re talking about an agent selling 30 houses per year in the business for a long time, or an agent in their first couple years with 3-5 deals per year. Most sellers want the person with the most experience. If you’re in your first couple years, and feel like your experience is costing you deals, find a “Mentor” in your office that will let you use his name and experience. Tell your sellers that you work closely with them. It works.

Need more eye contact w/your audience. Would be nice if you were in front of a home and delivering message or your desk. Anyway the info. was dead on. Great tips!
June 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Great advice Jim. …
Great advice Jim. As far as a better indicator, I like to look at the number of homes sold to the number of listings taken. All else being the same, if I were given the choice between the agent that listed 100 homes a year and only sold 70% and an agent that listed 50 but sold 95%, I would probably go with the 95% agent…

Broker supervision …
Broker supervision is a lost art, but yes when in place it can really ramp up the learning curve for new agents quickly. The blog discusses a variety of current real estate issues, thanks for checking it. bubbleinfodotcom

I am on board with …
I am on board with that logic Jim. In addition, as long as a newer agent has a strong, dedicated broker backing him/her, such escrow problems can also be handled. Best of luck with business and I look forward to checking out your blog as well.
June 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I can live with …
I can live with that. People love using gut instinct, so let’s do some of both. If the agent you’re talking to is light on sales but has demonstrated a thorough understanding – take a chance on him or her. How many old veterans are too tired or too busy to help? Plenty – so balance it out. But I’d like to add that the experienced veteran know more ways to handle problems that arise during the escrow period than the newer agents do. If the choice is close, select the veteran.

Jim. I like the …
Jim. I like the info you provide and can tell you definitely know what you are talking about. Just from 2:06 to 3:03 if what rubbed me the wrong way. I have new agent friends who are excellent at evaluating comps and pricing strategies, discussing market trends/financials, etc. They do not however have the total number of sales under their belt that you stress due to their length of time in the business. I feel that people should not be penalized due to their lenth of time in the business.

dannn1111,
The number of homes sold is a great indicator of ability to get deals done – the proof is in the pudding! You’re welcome to name a better indicator.
For you to say I’m trying to make new guys look bad is off-base. I’m trying to give consumers some real help that is relevant.
June 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Some good points. …
Some good points. But this is also a typical seasoned SD agent trying to make the new guys look bad as they do not have the volume under their belts. Number of homes sold is not necessarily indicative of service level and ability to get deals done.

I downloaded Perfect Dark Zero torrent from http://www.games-iso.com about a week ago and, despite the fact its an old game, its the best NINTENDO DSi game ever made in my opinion
