80% Commissions for Yakima Realtors

Creative Group R.E. Inc. — Mon, 19 May 2008 04:37:21 -0500

Are you a self-starter? Are you motivated to earn high commissions in the Yakima Real Estate Market?

All associates who join Exit Realty-Creative Group in May and June will start at 80% Commission Split!!!

Call Donna at 834-EXIT to schedule a confidential interview TODAY!!!

Exit Realty is a proven business model that offers Realtors security and retirement benefits to their families.

The 2 biggest objections we hear when we talk to people about becoming a REALTOR is that

1) The start up and monthly costs are HUGE. In most other brokerages they have desk fees. This means you can pay every month a charge...just for belonging to that office. With EXIT, there are NO DESK FEES!

With EXIT you pay a 70/30 commission split on any deals you do up to $100,000. What that means is if you have a month where you do a deal, the commission cheque gets split: 70% to you and 30% to the Brokerage. If you don't do a deal, there is nothing to pay.

The other great thing is EXIT rewards you for doing well. Once you earn $100,000.00 (approx 2-3 deals a month in our market), Your commission split goes to 90/10.

2) The other real objection and major cause of fear is the competition. I am constantly told by people who would be amazing in real estate that they feel like they would be a small fish in a big pond. Other Realtors wouldn't want to help them, they would have to swim or sink on their own. Dog eat dog world.

With EXIT, everyone has a sponsor. Imagine, someone to help you right off the get-go! Remember that 70/30 split? Well out of that 30% that the brokerage gets, head office sends your sponsor 10%. So in reality, the commission split is 70% to you, 20% to the brokerage and 10% to your sponsor.

The best thing about this totally unique system is your sponsor has a vested interest in HELPING you! They want you to make a 6 figure income! Once you reach 6 figures ($100,000) you go on the 90/10 and you are capped. So each sponsor has the potential to earn $10,000 per person they help. And EVERYONE can sponsor!

3) There isn't a retirement plan or any benefits in Real Estate. Wow, this is a big one. Being self -employed and having a family would put major pressure on someone without a retirement plan. With the EXIT 10-7-5 rule, this is totally covered! When you are an active agent you receive 10% of your sponsors income (up to $10,000), when you retire you will receive 7% of your sponsors income and upon your death, your beneficiary receives a 5% residual cheque of your sponsors. WOW.

If over the course of my career, I help 5 people come into Real estate.. that is $50,000. a year! I tell people, "How would you like to make a salary on top of your commission cheques?"

It is a great company, with great people willing to help!

As a result, Exit has become a major competitor in record time. We are the FASTEST growing brokerage in North America.

We train and help the people we recruit into EXIT. We believe in building a successful TEAM. If you are thinking about a career in Real Estate.... call us today and ask how we can support you in your quest to become a successful Real Professional!

You're only as good as your people!

Creative Group R.E. Inc. — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 03:34:44 -0500

I have heard that "you are only as good as your people" & I believe it!

We are a growing company and for a while, we struggled to find individuals who will fit in and have the same vision that we do. Though it is sometimes difficult, I refused to give up.

Last February, we hired a full time office assistant. She happened to be bi-lingual and licensed. Soon we found that we were all relying on her assistance.

Now, eight months later...she more than fits in! We are looking for additional staff to assist her! We have a great office manager, who is dedicated!

I would like to thank Donna Trevino for her hard work and irreplaceable presence within our office.

Thank you Donna!

Where did all the time go?

Creative Group R.E. Inc. — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 03:07:02 -0500

The other night (while at home), I was changing a few photos on one of our listings. My 6 year old son said, "I helped you take pictures at that house". I started to object, and then remembered that he went with me to the home a couple months ago.

I smiled, and then realized once again that I work TOO MUCH. Am I missing my children growing up? I try to take each of my older sons to work on separate days each week; it is not quality time.

We purchased a motor home earlier this year, but sold it after using it for only two days. My self-imposed work schedule did not allow us to go again. Now, my two older sons often talk about those two days; "they miss the R.V." and "want a new one".

Though it is not January, It is time for a resolution! I will take more time off to spend with my children. We will go on a family vacation before Christmas!

I do not want to look back in twenty years and say, "it was just yesterday that they were babies, where did the time go"...I was a successful Broker.

Be Courteous…At Least

Creative Group R.E. Inc. — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 03:39:56 -0500

I have been working with a younger couple to find them the right home for a few weeks. They have some credit challenges, but 20-30% down. We received a pre-approval, but with today's sub-prime market, nothing is for sure.

We found the right home and wrote up an offer. The home has been on the market for a VERY long time and has not been shown much recently. We hand delivered the offer to the agent's office and I left her a message so we could discuss it.

About an hour later, I received a message from her. It was one of the rudest messages that I have ever received from any Realtor. She could not understand why I was not available to take her call and said she would not present the offer!

I understand that she is busy and may have been a Realtor for longer than I have been alive, but I am busy also. I have three times as many personal listings and a team of Realtors to supervise. I called her back to discuss the offer. She said that unless she had an approval letter stating all conditions are met, she would not present the offer. I will not state the remainder of the call, but she did agree to present the offer immediately.

Since that time, I leave her messages. When she eventually returns my calls, she continues to leave me rude messages about me being hard to get in touch with and that I am making it hard for her to do business. I immediately return my calls, and have assistants who are there to answer questions. These assistants care about my clients as if they are their own & understand what is going on.

It is frustrating, because we all need to work together. I am frustrated because she is so rude. She refuses to deal with a licensed assistant. The deal is just beginning, but I already wish we could have found a different home. I wonder if her attitude contributes to the fact that the home has not been shown much! My client wants the home, so I will represent them the absolute best I can.

I only wish her clients understood the way she deals with those who are trying to sell this home!

The other night I was writing up an offer on one of our listings with a family I had recently met. They interviewed me with plenty of questions about our company, the local market and my abilities. I live in this area and understand it well! It was a great experience and they seemed like knowledgeable buyers. We wrote up the offer while one of their daughters was there.

She explained that she purchased a home about eighteen months ago and further explained the experience. They did not use a Realtor and the deal did not go smoothly. They own the home and enjoy living there, bit want to move closer to their parents. She asked me if I sold many homes in her neighborhood.

Instead of telling her that I had to attempt to get the listing, I said that I had only sold two in the area. Then I explained that we have a group of agents and one of our best lives close to her and knows all about the area. I said that if she gave us a chance, I would bring this Realtor along. After all, she knows the area and I know they would have much in common.

She is not ready to sell, but I will be following up. Sure, I want to list plenty of homes, but one of my agents may be a little more knowledgeable about the area. This client would get the very best service from us working together!

Urgency & Commissions

Creative Group R.E. Inc. — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 01:53:22 -0500

Having earned commissions most of my adult life; I appreciate purchasing from those who do also. This is true when shopping for clothing, electronics and even automobiles. When deciding between restaurants, my wife and I consider the service we expect to receive. I strongly believe that those who have a direct financial gain (or loss) from my experience will work harder to exceed my expectations!

I have been representing a seller on a REO home. They discounted the property for a quick sale. In return, they expect the buyer to have a sense of urgency. There is a monetary per diem, which is usually imposed if the buyer does not close when agreed.

The buyer decided to go to a large bank and use a loan originator, who earns a salary rather than a commission. It seems that there has been no sense of urgency and the loan is priced equally to one where a commission is earned. The buyer wants into the home A.S.A.P. and is frustrated. They are being told, "Standard FHA loans take 45 days".

Now, they are requesting a two-week extension along with a request to waive the per diem. This is frustrating, as they state, "the loose ends are taken care of". I am sure that if this L.O. were earning a commission, they would push to get it closed for the month! Now it seems that the quota is met, so this one should roll to the next month.

This experience fortifies my opinion about dealing with commission earning sales professionals.
