Never drew up a Buyer Broker Agreement.......until now. Here's why.................
Believe it or not, I've never felt the need to draw up a Buyer/Broker Agreement in all the years I've been an agent.
Meeting the clients, getting a feel as to the type of people they are, and gaining their trust has been my style and has worked successfully for me.
Well, I've been working with some clients.  They came to me through Zillow, which is another blog in itself.  For those of you who have followed my Zillow adventure from our "Putting Zillow to The Test" group, I have one final chapter to … (210 comments)

Alright, peeps. So I'm 1/3 of the way through my 90-day benchmark with Zillow.
Here is my activity listed on Zillow:

If you look at my stats, although it shows I've had 9 contacts, I've actually had eleven contacts (not sure why?). One of those was before I became a premiere agent (Contact #3), and it was an inquiry for one of my listings (not in the zip code I have paid for).

Putting Zillow to The Test: My $948.60+ Adventure - Day 3 - My Initial Stats
OK.  So I'm 3 days in as a paying Premiere agent on Zillow.
I've done everything that I'm supposed to do, and I'm listed as 100% on the Zillow Spectrum of marketing recommendations.
No leads yet.  I am answering questions by Zillow visitors on specific topics.  The only contacts I've had so far are from other agents wanting me to see thier open houses!!
So, as of Day 3, I am a Big, Fat, ZERO in the leads department.
If you'd like to join our consumer … (33 comments)
