Semi-famous Surfer Real Estate Thread
- Thread starter donuts
- Start date
Real Estate Agent is the preferred defacto career choice for people that have no idea what to do with their lives but know they want to make money. Most have zero education, little-to-no business acumen, and limited (if any) support - mostly a stack of biz cards and an atta boy. 90% of real estate transactions are showing a house, auto-filling a Mad-Libs contract, sending it docusign, calling a home inspector and waiting for a commission check. Good ones are worth it, but that's like 2% of the agents out there.
word of advice, don't use a friend or even someone you know well. it's a business transaction. Don't mix it.
My realtor was hands off pretty much the whole process of looking, just had his semi cute and very friendly employee find us a house. When it came time to put in offer and negotiate he stepped in and didn't fvck around.

You can throw a rock out here (Central Florida Coast) in any direction blindfolded and hit a realtor
There are more realtors than there are buyers, so that tells you all you need to know. Some definitely using a subtle “sex sells” approach to get an edge

Around here (Maui) the realtor's problem isn't a lack of buyers, it's a lack of sellers. As crazy as the market is everyone assumes prices will only go up and if you sell you'll never own a place on Maui again.
I have a nephew in that age range. The kind of hustles that him and his friends are into are mindblowing and make most of us look like friggin plebians. I think they saw the writing on the wall with the older millennials getting screwed by the last crash, student loans, worthless degrees etc
It's also a lifestyle job because of the flexible schedule. However you are also at the mercy of when your clients are available which is probably mostly on weekends. Probably a lot of time wasted with tire kickers.
iMO tough times are looming with Redfin and other transfer services that charge a 1% commission. I don't like the idea of selling my house through a realtor and having to hand them $30-40k of my equity just for schmoozing. I don't see the value.
The billboards in this country all used to have the president and his wife (the VP) posted on them. We saw them burning in 2018. Now they are all blank lol
met a few of the local Rico’s last night, the Nicaraguan elite so to speak, and they have already suggested I get into various businesses with them

That’s where it is, that and home equity. No I think these guys want access, and if the deals we were discussing are legit, I’m intrigued. I made it very clear I have no money to invest, and what I am saving, I’m saving to build a home here. But I have access to the us market in ways their families may not.
