Does anyone know where the best place (if there is a place) to post an ad for recruting. We are hireing agents in the metro DC, Chicago and San Francisco markets, however, are not 100% where to properly post in here.
What other way to best find our newest team member that to “BLOG” for them?
So here it is…we are blogging for Boston Real Estate Agents to join our team. Well, actually we are looking for 1 SUPERSTAR, rock-the-house, data soaking, business minded, super organized, mega-social, real estate agent who wants to be apart of the fastest growing Boston real estate company.
So what does it take to become one of the top real estate buyers brokers in Boston?
1. Passion: We want the most passionate individuals who love real estate, technology and urban living.
2. Savvy: You are way ahead of the curve, understand that the traditional model is changing and you have already started exploring new initiatives like blogging and other web 2.0 marketing tactics.
3. Entrepreneur: You are self-motivated. You are a risk taker. You want to shoot for the stars and be involved in something special.
What else is involved and what will CondoDomain offer me?
Well, for starters we are a web-based buyers brokerage so we only work with buyer looking to buy in downtown Boston. This means (and we will help you) you need to know every downtown neighborhood better than every other Boston real estate agent! Know all the major new construction developments better than every other Boston real estate agent. And love to pull and analyze sales data better than every other Boston real estate agent! See where we are going here. We simply push to be the very best at what we do - help people find and purchase their new Boston condo.
CondoDomain Boston is located at 319 A Street in the Fort Point Channel neighborhood in an AWESOME LOFT. We operate our shop out of a huge open loft space that allows creative energy, ideas and a very exciting and fun work environment to flow opening (a huge part of our company business model). Many who have walked through the space say that we operate like an early stage dot-com start-up company - and that is exactly how it is.
Our company, being a web-based brokerage operates online. Our entire marketing platform generates thousands of buy-side leads per month. These leads need to be responded too immediately, sorted, managed and eventually brought out to tour properties. (So you gotta be a die-hard blackberry or iPhone user.)
Oh…one more thing. Our company has a very different business model. We refund a large portion of our real estate commission back to our clients. I know, sounds crazy but we have a really good reason for it. Learn more about our commission refund business model here, here, don’t forget to miss the post where we gave back $43,000 to our $2M One Charles Condominium buyer.
We keep it pretty simple: If you like a loud, fun, very active but professional work environment, like working in a team environment and consider yourself passionate, savvy and entrepreneur-like, give us a shout –**– Facebook me, Twitter me, Txt me, Email me or I guess you can call me too - 617.314.7704.
So, what is the largest real estate commission rebate that has been given back to a buyer and or seller of a real estate transaction? Does anyone out there know? I put the word out last week via Facebook and on my Twitter but haven’t got any good feedback.
The reason why I bring it up is because our powerhouse Boston agent, Thomas Cincotti is closing no a $2M condo this week.
The Commission - $50,000!!!
The Rebate - $43,000!!! (remember this is NON-TAXABLE TOO!!!)
This will be by far our largest rebate back to one of our buyers to date! We are excited to enter the next level in serving the luxury condominium dweller! (Believe me, we would even more excited if we got to keep the commission … but, its not our business model to do that.)
Tommy - great job, keep up the good work.
Buyers - Now serving clients from $200,000 to $2,000,000
CondoDomain.com Steps into Online Traffic: Online Condominium Lead Generation Company Takes Real Estate Brokerage Head On
BOSTON, MA— CondoDomain.com, the top-ranked urban condominium portal knownfor generating real estate leads in more than 30 U.S. markets, is now an exclusive buyers’brokerage firm for downtown Boston real estate. As of January 9, 2008, instead of passing Boston real estate leads to respective advertisers, CondoDomain will establish relationships with perspective buyers themselves. Founder and CEO Anthony Longobelieves that serving the online buyer is the future of real estate brokerage. More so, he believes in focusing in on a niche and creating efficiencies in the currently inefficient real estate purchasing process. By doing so, CondoDomain.com will operate on a flat fee business model, refunding the majority of the buyers’ brokers commission back to their client.
CondoDomain’s niche—“luxury, urban, condominium sales catered to the online buyer” meets a great demand among Boston’s Internet-savvy local population. CondoDomain understands buyers; as a lead generation company, they spent the last two years studying what buyers need and want in their real estate search. Longo notes, “After witnessing thedramatic increase in online inquiry activity and the growing fallout rate in online leadcapture and conversion, we saw an enormous opportunity to help these online buyers get what they need.” Now buyers who choose to work with CondoDomain will not only get the #1 online resource for local condominium information in Boston, but they will also get a team dedicated to searching and showing properties along with a personal guide to help them through the home buying process.
CondoDomain is breaking the traditional mold of the real estate industry. By watching revolutionary firms such as Redfin begin to change the definition of how real estate transactions are completed, CondoDomain is pushing the envelope further by concentrating on a niche market: urban condo sales for a flat fee of $5,000 rather than for a commission. Nationally, the average $500,000 sale pays a co-brokerage commission of 3% or $15,000. In this example, CondoDomain would collect the $15,000 commission at the closing, subtract a flat $5,000 fee, and refund the remainder to the buyer after the closing (that’s a $10,000 cash check to the buyer). Longo says, “In our opinion, the current buyers’ brokerage model is backwards. After all, why should our consultants be compensated more if our buyers spend more, or why should an agent be compensated 10 times more for a $3,000,000 purchase compared to a $300,000 purchase? This doesn’t make sense to us—and we have set out on a mission to change it.”
However, CondoDomain’s business model is not about discount. Longo says, “Although the refunded money is a big perk to our clients—who can use this money to make a more aggressive offer, pay down mortgage principle, obtain a lower rate, buy furniture, pay condo fees, or just put it in their savings account—it is not our focus, nor is it a gimmick to get buyers in the door. We think this is a very fair way of conducting buy-side real estate transactions.” In fact, outside of their flat fee, CondoDomain conducts business just as any other traditional real estate firm would—with the added bonus that they are experts in the Boston condominium marketplace and offer an unparalleled online resource.
With cutting-edge real estate companies like CondoDomain in Boston, this new way of conducting business is surely going to be the future model for the industry. CondoDomain is giving buyers what they didn’t even know they wanted: comprehensive listings online, a full-service brokerage team ,expert buy-side negotiators, and a refund of the traditional commission after a flat fee is subtracted. Working with CondoDomain is not just a smart and efficient way to purchase Boston real estate, but one that offers the highest level service in a transparent, no pressure atmosphere.
