I want to unofficially put my house on the market to sell it in the next 6 months. Can I call a few local Realtors who have sold houses in my neighborhood and tell them I’ll give them 4% if they find a buyer. Or should I only post ads on the internet?
I have 50% equity, so there wouldn’t be an issue with the banks.
Absolutely. This is a very good idea for you.
However, I would call their brokers (their bosses) instead of the individual realtors. Ask those brokers to bring their whole office of realtors by your house after one of their sales meetings. These meetings are generally on Tuesday mornings. This way, instead of getting one realtor per phone call, you’ll get entire offices with one phone call.
And this way, the realtors in the offices that you call will feel like they’ve got an advantage over their competitors at other offices, because they know where one more home for sale is than those other realtors. To the realtors that know about your home for sale, it will become known as a "pocket listing". This is a listing that a realtor knows about, but that does not show up on the local MLS.
And by the way, 4% is too much. Only offer 3%, because that’s all that a realtor would get from any other home for sale on their local MLS.
Good luck to you! Oh, and you also need to be prepared for 50+ different realtors to ask you to list your home with them. This is just a by-product of what you’re about to do. Just deal with it.
I am 26 and thinking about getting into real estate in upscale areas. Are young realtors ata a disadvantage?
You are not necessarily at a disadvantage.Your best source of customers can come from lenders.I encourage you to move forward in getting your real estate license.I have sold real estate now for three years and am earninga very good income.
If you are a struggling realtor, new or veteran, then you owe it to yourself to get serious and change your life.

The numbers don’t look too good for sales of homes…and with the american consumer being grossly gouged over the past 5 years with product being so over-priced, is it any wonder that now we get our due, as realtors?
Do I deserve to make a buck off the misery and percieved value to customers? Am I really just a house-pimp?
Are you kidding me? This is dumbest question I ever heard.
If you think it is your fault the housing market went up and people leveraged themselves to the max – then fine take the blame, but you had nothing to do with it.
Your job is selling homes for people – now more than ever ever people are going to need your help.
The question is if you percieve your profession as the cause to this dilemma, then do everyone a favor and quit.

I was wondering how many realtors are in the malibu area? Please do not respond with "too many". I am looking for a number.
thanks!!!
type "Malibu California Real Estate" in the yahoo search bar and page after page of company’s and private names will appear on the screen.
I do not want to tell him.."I feel you were pushy and I want another realtor." (We are disagreeing a lot and i am tired of it).
Will he just "let it be?"or will he call me??
Realtors please!! Thanks!
If the listing contract has expired then you can shop around for another realtor. Otherwise call the realtor’s broker and explain things to the broker.

Can I hire two realtors, one for selling my house, the other for renting my house in US? Or do I have to get only one for both renting and selling? I hope two realtors can be more motivated to sell or rent my house since they are actually competing each other.
This is done all the time. It does have to be addressed in each listing. The competition does not cause them to work harder. This tactic introduces risk that..even if I work hard and spend a lot of money marketing the property I may not get paid. That causes Realtors to be cautious about spending to much time and effort on such a property.
Many times, the reason a house sells is circumstance — having the right house for the right buyers at the right time. Former real estate agents and experienced for sale by owner sellers share some of their tips. If you have the skills to be able to sell your own home, you can save yourself a hefty commission.
