Real Estate agents really don't deserve 3%. Here is why.
Ok... I have held out long enough on the knee jerk reaction to the new real estate commission earnings changes. I just can't bite my tongue anymore. PSA: To every agent that is so in denial that doesn't think this is a game changer, please seek professional help, if not for you, than for your loved ones. This is a game changer.
For all of the agents all of a sudden posting things about how fundamentally our representation of our clients are to keep the world turning.... SHUT THE F**K UP. We are NOT! I bought over 100 hundred properties with out an agent and before I was one. In fact, I represented myself better than the agents I had been using and that is why I chose not to use an agent. The truth is, most agents will save or make you the 2-3% they get paid on a deal. That is not a net gain. That is a break even. So why the hell pay for that? I say DON'T. Even if that agent negotiates a 10% discount on the listing price, the truth is, that is what the place should have sold for. Anyone can throw out an offer!
Real estate Agents are paid for the most part on 100% commission. No base pay, no salary, if they don't sell, they don't pay their own mortgage or rent. This is good, and bad. The good is, if you really want that home, they will do anything to get you into that home because they need the money. The bad is, they will get you into a property even if its not the right one, because they need the money.
You will never pay me, or my company just because we negotiated a better price on a property for you. Over a 30 year mortgage, the best I can do is only a trophy, but a drop in the bucket over 30 years, you pay me because of the sound financial investment we made together. I am not here to save you a little off the sale price, or do paperwork, or babysit inspections. Those are important, but you pay me to make one of the largest investments you will make in your life, an investment, and not just a piece of property you own. And if I can't negotiate and establish my worth to a seller or a buyer, I highly doubt I should disserve a dime. Owning real estate is about net worth. End of story. It takes work, and diligence and knowledge to make real money on real estate. I will be honest, for most people, renting is a better option then buying. And most of the people they tell you "stop renting" lease their car(s). I know, I have been playing the game for 30 years. The only way real estate nets you a plus, is if it is managed and you have proactive people that WORK FOR YOU, . We don't save you money on your home purchase, we build your wealth on your real estate investment! I will figure out how we get paid.... You just worry about how to pay your damn taxes after we make you so damn much money!

If you thought finding tickets to Taylor Swift’s upcoming Denver concerts was a challenge, the search for homes in Colorado hasn’t gotten much easier either, according to the latest Market Trends Housing Report and analysis from the Colorado Association of REALTORS® (CAR).

Despite a double-digit percentage bump in new listings coming to the market in May, limited inventory continues to create challenges for potential buyers while many others are being kept at bay by an average 7% interest rate on a 30-year mortgage. Although the metro area and statewide median price remains down from last spring and summer’s record highs, the combination of factors over the past several months has helped push prices for single-family homes across Colorado up slightly for the fourth straight month, and three out of the last four months for condo/townhomes.

The Renegade Group is growing! Are you a real estate agent (or training to become one) who's frustrated and limited in your career by the seemingly draconian requirements of your current brokerage?

Then join a team that gives you a great split, offers excellent mentoring, and allows you to diversify your current business model to develop your breadth of competency in many aspects of real estate (not just residential).

Here's a few possible examples that may resonate with you regarding why you're frustrated at your current brokerage:

1. Upon sign up, you are forced to choose whether to be and train as a Residential agent, OR a Commercial agent, but not both.

2. When you have any clients/leads that you are not currently knowledgeable enough to handle on your own, you are required to refer that lead out (and worry that the agent you refer it to may or may not serve your client/lead well) and maybe you aren't even allowed to co-broker the deal with the agent you refer it to (forcing you to give up that opportunity to increase your knowledge base and further your career).

3. You have to give a "more than fair" percentage of your commission to your brokerage on deals you close, even though they offer you very little quality mentoring and boots-on-the-ground style education and direction in return.

We'll be straight with you: With the current downturn in the residential real estate market, it should have become clear to you by now that having a business model built 100% on only one aspect of the real estate industry is a losing prospect, and may ultimately leave you looking for a new career.

In order to succeed in almost any business these days, you must diversify and constantly push the limits of your knowledge and market offerings. Otherwise, you are left marketing to the same small, generic pool of leads that 90% of the other (unidimensional) agents out there are marketing to. How exhausting and unfulfilling!

In reality, you should aim to generate and work a variety of deals over time, learning from amazing mentors along the way, in order to gain the knowledge and experience to develop your career and breadth of competency in real estate.

And while other brokerages often limit you in these regards, our team offers the opposite. We are THE RENEGADE GROUP AT 360 REAL ESTATE INC., and we like to do things differently than the norm. We like to think outside of the box and we always go the extra mile to get the deal done and to ensure client satisfaction and mutual benefit for all involved parties. And we can help teach you to do the same! (Note: We do not provide leads to team members, but you are free to pursue and work a wide variety of leads under our mentorship until such time as you are competent to work these non-residential transactions alone).

With 30+ years of combined experience in all aspects of real estate, our team specializes in Commercial, Investment, Land & Ranch and Residential properties -- with a rare niche in Business Consulting & Acquisition. Integral to these areas of expertise, we help our clients procure solid financing for a wide range of property and transaction types. In this way, we work many types of deals from many angles, and grow our business in numerous areas of competency... and so should you.

If this posting has intrigued you, please reach out and let's discuss whether your talents and desires for career growth might make you a good fit for our team -- especially with our high-quality mentorship and low-split commission offerings.

Cheers!

Rising inflation and interest rates are undoubtedly changing the landscape of the market, showcased in new listings, which declined 26.73 percent from last month and 27.92 year-over-year. As a result, Denver Metro saw its first small decline in average and median sales prices this month. However, sale prices skyrocketed over the last two years so as a result, the market is well ahead of historical appreciation metrics of where the Denver market should be had it not experienced a pandemic-fueled buying frenzy. Overall, while prices flatten out, the historical appreciation that sellers have seen cannot be ignored.

DMAR Real Estate Market Trends Report | NOV. '22

October 2022 exhibits a grateful market for buyers who now have more opportunities to buy a home in the Denver Metro area.
--

As the Denver market normalizes, active inventory declined slightly to 7,290 homes on the market at month’s end. However, this is an increase of 115.94 percent year-over-year. While this number reads as a jump, the current inventory is still less than the pre-pandemic inventory numbers of 8,557 active listings in October 2019.

Rising inflation and interest rates are undoubtedly changing the landscape of the market, showcased in new listings, which declined 26.73 percent from last month and 27.92 year-over-year. As a result, Denver Metro saw its first small decline in average and median sales prices this month. However, sale prices skyrocketed over the last two years so as a result, the market is well ahead of historical appreciation metrics of where the Denver market should be had it not experienced a pandemic-fueled buying frenzy. Overall, while prices flatten out, the historical appreciation that sellers have seen cannot be ignored.

“There are opportunities to look at the silver lining of every scenario,” commented Libby Levinson-Katz, Chair of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and Metro Denver Realtor®. “This evolving marketplace allows buyers more options and the gift of time to decide on a home while negotiating terms that suit their needs. Meanwhile, sellers can analyze the marketplace to position their homes correctly while being able to experience a great return on investment due to rising prices over the last years. While the market changes, the past two years continue to represent the exception and not the rule. If one was to remove 2020 and 2021, the Denver Metro market trajectory is on pace with where it was predicted to be, had COVID-19 not happened.”

As prices adjust, the median days in the MLS continues to increase, up 240 percent from five days last year to 17 days this year. While this number continues to grow, many homes on the market are priced based on peak market activity, and are thus incorrectly priced for the current market. These homes have inflated prices which the market has rejected, and are thus increasing days in MLS. These properties were either finally withdrawn from the market or the prices were adjusted before ultimately selling.

The housing market has shifted dramatically over the past few months. Higher mortgage rates have thinned the pool of buyers, begun to rein in runaway home prices, and forced many sellers back to the negotiating table. The changes are leading buyers and sellers to wonder who has the upper hand these days.
