Anyone sell real estate in BR

Advertise on bus stop benches. You will have no problem getting people to sit on your face.

I'm sure someone does.

I got this cool girl that does all my selling and finds me properties to buy.

I use her because she consistently advertises.
Her website shows web views of the properties.
She shows me how to stage my properties when I want to sell them and finds people who do this.
Everything I listed with her sold in days.
She also finds me homes that need some work in areas I am willing to flip or rent homes. I get to the home or property before other people to make a fair offer.

Yeah, I pay for that service which I am fine with it. I get a value for what she does.

Between the farm, trying to retire from hardware store & repair centers, managing my rental properties, and fishing I just don't have time to hunt down properties to buy.

Study up on bars in windows and bullet proof windows

If you're female, be prepared to ride your clients to seal the deal.

Most of the agents I work worth want me to call them if I find something. I want agents to hunt down properties for me.

The last two house hunts I did (ATL) I had the same experience. At this point, I can't see using an agent to buy a house ever again. No offense to the hard working agents out there, but most of them seem to just want me to do all the work and they fill out paperwork for 3%.

I have purchased three homes in my lifetime. The first one the agent was old school and worked her butt off. The second and third, not so much. I did all the leg work and they opened the houses and did the contract. I am a hunter in a sales sense.

I however, think the economy here is poor and the inventory is tight post flood. This makes for a higher cost of inventory. In a financially repressed economy, this makes for a tough sell. When you add in the Equifax fiasco,it may be challenging. This is the only concern I have. I'd be great-- I have no doubts about my ability to close a deal.

Eventually, I would prefer to do this full time.
I am currently doing sales/customer service, but not getting paid commission. The majority of outside sales here is oil field related or requires a degree.

Market is really good right now. It never lasts forever though.
