New REALTORS

By
Real Estate Agent with Kendall Haney Realty Group

Back to my favorite newbie REALTOR.  I have some new listings coming on the market in the coming weeks.  I have this friend who has been in the business for just a few months and is struggling to make a living ... actually her entire earnings for 2009 were 10 cents that she found in the parking lot.

I offered her an Open House in a couple of weeks ... we are on a strict marketing budget ... she is trying to dictate to me how it has to go ... what I'm going to do ... etc etc etc!

We'll see what happens, but I know better how to market this house than an agent with 4 months of experience who hasn't sold anything or written a contract.

Have you introduced your new friend to Active Rain yet? She can get some great ideas on how to hold a stella open house and possibly get some buyers to work with too.

I think if she wants to do a bunch of marketing -let her.  And she can pay for it too.

Sometimes that newbie enthusiasm can do lots of things, so don't be too hard on her.

Happy New Year!

She sounds like she is super excited about having an opportunity to get her feet wet and the possibility of picking up a buyer! She may be just the ticket to getting this house sold!
