I need to know what a realestate agent will charge for a sale of a home?

Friday, October 30th, 2009


This varies by local custom. Here in St. Louis, the listing broker will charge about 7%. This is negotiable, but that’s pretty much the average. When the house sells, the listing broker will get 55% of the commission and the selling broker will get 45%. They usually split their shares with the agent that sells the property 50/50.

Call and ask. That’s the best way to find out.

Yahoo! Realestate buttons don’t work.?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I have been a yahoo user for about 8 years. I have never had an issue with the website or it’s services until recently and have discovered there is no way to contact Yahoo! I’m hoping this will let them know that nothing happens when you click on the yahoo! realestate buttons. We are thinking of relocating for his job and would like to search home listings. It’s the only link, I’ve found, that doesn’t work. Please try to fix it. Thank you, oh and, I Yahooooooooooooo! :)

Contact with Yahoo help center. They will solve your problem.

Realestate??My first time buying, what will my monthly payments come out to?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

For everyone who owns a home- what are your utility bills like.
How much do you pay for electricity, gas, water etc…
I want to buy a home in Lombard IL.
If anyone is from there can you tell me what the property taxes are?

theres a lot more to it than that…all these figures are based on size of house, number of people living there, city, state, and how much you paid for it and how much down you put…

Can I add real estate listings from local realestate websites to my Classified Ads site i’m starting?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I’m starting a classified ads website and i’m wondering if I can add listings that local real estate companies have listed on there website to my "real estate" portion of my local classified ads website?

I’m planning on putting all the information up on who to contact in regards to the listing.

I would think if you had permission from the companies as well as whatever source you are using to obtain the information. Stealing content from another web site would be illegal.

Is realestate appraising a good job to make decent money ?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

the class costs like $2,500 to go for like 2 months and then you start work for someone, is it worth it, is their alot of property/realestate to be appraised?

I’ve been a Licensed Appraiser for roughly 9 years [Certified for the past 5 years]. The first few years are typically "brutal" because you must go through anywhere from two to three years of trainee duty. You start by finding a Supervisor that’s willing to act as a mentor during your initial 2,000 hours of experience requisite [most States]. The income during this trainee period is anywhere from $10K to $40K per year, so pretty horrid by most living standards.

The up-side is that once you get established and build your own practice; you have flexibility in your work schedule, the job is very enjoyable (IMO), and there’s six-figure income potential for those willing to work hard and continuously market themselves.

My recommendation is to approach appraisal as a part-time job and keep a primary source of income during the first two years (+/-) as a trainee. If you have a spouse that provides good income, then you may be able to jump in with both feet, but most people come aboard while carrying another job. I made the mistake of coming into the industry with no other income and it drained our hard-earned savings.

Best of luck! Average salary varies by area, but I believe it to be $65K on a National basis [salary.com is way off!]

how do i market to realtors/ realestate agents if im just starting out as a loan officer tips please anybody?

Friday, October 30th, 2009


Im helping a friend with this exact question. Both answers may work. But I agree that you need to go directly to the market. FSBO (for sale by owners) might give you better direction.

Im having my friend go directly to the real estate agents. And asking for the hardest loans that they couldnt get through. Clearly she doenst have the knowledge to do them but Im doing them for her. Im not sure if you have a mentor or not. But if you are green to the business I wouldnt start with real estate agents.

If you do, call and get a list of those real estate agents in your state that passed their test in the last 6 months. Work with them. If you screw up they prolly wont know. As M said 3 years plus they will eat you alive. Remember it might mean 1500 to you but it could be 15,000 to them. You dont have the option of being wrong.

what is the best laptop for realestate agent?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

as real estate agent I need to have laptop(wireless) with me on meeting with new client out of office.what is the best option for laptop.

Whatever wireless service you have in your area and talking to people you know living there will be the best referral for that, is what will be most important. Also, as long as it has enouth memory for a program that you use for realestate and your book keeping that sort of thing. Dell is probably the best. if you are going to share files with your desktop you may not need as much memory for those programs, pictures take a lot of memory. So, Dell will design a unit just for your needs. They are great about that. They will try to sell more than you might need so really talk to other business people and see what their experience has been before you do anything. My first Gateway…first computer ever they sold me way more than I needed in programs so, I know they all do it. Just know what you want before you call and go for lots of storage and memory and speed/ Good luck.
