I know a great real estate agent you should hire. He’s very enthusiastic and well-intentioned. He’s also completely honest and trustworthy, and he really wants to do a great job for you. On the other hand, he has never sold a house before. He has never taken a real estate course, does not hold a real estate license, and knows nothing about real estate law. He has no background in sales or marketing and doesn’t know anyone in the real estate business. He doesn't know how to find prospective buyers (although he’s confident that won’t be a problem), and he admits to being completely unfamiliar with the elements of negotiating a real estate contract — in fact, he’s never even drafted a real estate contract. He doesn't have access to the Multiple Listing Service (he’s not even sure what that is or what it offers) and he knows nobody in the mortgage, title settlement, or related fields, nor does he know anything about those businesses. But like I said, this guy is honest, motivated, and wants to do a great job for you. Oh, and best of all, he’s free. Would you hire him? No, of course not. It’s obvious why such a person is willing to work for free: Nobody would ever think of paying him! Yet, if you’re planning to sell your home on your own, without the benefits of a real estate agent, this is exactly who you are hiring: You’re hiring yourself. ~Ric Edelman "The Truth About Money" Something to really think about... #AshleySellsTheUpstate #thinkaboutit #BeWise #WeAreModern #themoreyouknow

At Cher ®, we are often asked why we put our Realtor and MLO candidates through multiple rounds of interviews. Some companies recruit anyone and everyone, but we believe in a different approach. Here's why: 1) Customer service is crucial to our success, and we need team members who are diligent and committed to providing the best possible service to our clients. 2) We value innovation and want our teams to be able to share their ideas freely. This is difficult when team members have different levels of expertise and struggle to communicate effectively. 3) We believe in investing in our team's education and growth. This means that we want team members who are committed to learning and expanding their skill sets. This allows us to fill new roles with existing staff, which is beneficial for both the company and our employees. 4) Sales are important, and we want team members who are driven to succeed and help our company grow. Hiring the wrong people can lead to lower revenue and missed opportunities. 5) Finally, we are a mission-driven company. We want team members who believe in our mission and are passionate about helping to shape the future of housing. To create change, you must surround yourself with the best and brightest team members. At Cher ®, we believe in taking the time to find the right people for the job.

Picking the right agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very specific questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the best representation for your needs. Many agents would prefer that you don't ask these questions, because the knowledge you'll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent. And let's face it - in real estate, as in life - not all things are created equal. Hiring a real estate agent is just like any hiring process - with you on the boss's side of the desk. Buying or selling a home is a major financial action, probably the biggest you will ever take. It's critical that you make the right decision about who will handle it.

🤩You can earn more doing the same numbers!📈⁉️ A recent case study - I got in touch with a broker, thinking they could be suitable for a self-employed role my clients wanted to find the right broker for. 🤝My clients are a successful mortgage brokerage with a national presence, that partner with high-end estate agencies across the UK. 🏡This broker had 2 years advising within an Estate Agency, as well as previous EA experience, and was writing £15,000 + each month. 🧭We talked about the role and they decided it was an opportunity worth exploring. 📊During the interview process my client took the time to break down the earning potential, in a compare and contrast fashion, with the brokers current employment. (Always run the numbers and best to be conservative.) 📈🎉They worked out that in doing the SAME numbers the broker would be just shy of DOUBLING his income. 😍On top of these conservative equations the opportunity with my clients is far more fortuitous in regard to leads and quality of said leads, so no doubt my broker is on to even better results! 🥇 🤓💸Moral of the story - if you are performing well and feel like you could be better remunerated, the chances are you can be!! 📧☎️Get in touch today, and let’s run the numbers. ❤️Thank you for the conversations I have been having recently. It’s great to share networks, have a chat and understand where I can add value to your business and career. 😄✌🏽 Ali.topan@striderecruitment.co.uk 07393 949798 Stride Recruitment | Rachel Pollock - CeMAP | David Cooper #increasedearning #mortgageindustry #estateagency #specialistfinance #wealthmanagement #recruitment
