real estate team: How Our Team Was Born or Conceived @ Least...... - 08/23/08 03:59 PM
When I began real estate I must say it was only just a means to an end. I had been in a job that was pretty much killing me for about a year before I got my RE license. I sold advertising to Car Dealers in and around our Tacoma. The

real estate team: Why trade my dirty carpet for your dirty carpet? A little bit of history. - 07/12/08 09:15 PM
It started with the Realtors. Years ago it was unheard of to speak to a seller about the "odor" in their home or their favorite wallpaper, the stains on the carpet and other "challenges" within their home. The Realtor just took the listing and hoped for the best.

I'm considering hiring a listing specialist and need suggestions on compensation other than a salary. Sounds crazy in today's market, huh? Business is good, but it can always be better.

real estate team: Real Estate is a Solid Long-Term Investment! - 12/31/07 07:54 AM
In order to know the stability of the market, don't listen to the media whom seems to stay very broad. To get the proper perspective on the value of real estate, you have to go right to the source and that means talking to a Realtor in your local market.

Teaming up? Are any of you struggling with the idea of having a "Team" in real estate? I do not mean assistants and buyers agents necessarily. I mean a 50/50 split of business between you and another agent? I have been approached on this subject several times in the past 2 weeks.
