Edith! Great question in a tightening market and economy! The best advice I ever received was to forget about the expenses and focus on the income. What we focus on expands. If we focus on money going out, regardless of if we are trying to stop it, it will only result in more pouring out. If we focus on income, the result will be so much income that the expenses will be of ZERO consequence. CB&A, Realtors offers the right training, personal mentorship, and a flat fee to help you succeed beyond your wildest dreams. The best decision I ever made in real estate, was my switch to CB&A, Realtors. Hope this helps with a mindset shift! Feel free to reach out to me anytime! codysellsproperty@gmail.com 346-412-6603
There are countless resources and free agent education available. Your Broker should be your first source of guidance. What kind of help are you seeking? NAR, HAR and TAR are invaluable sources, you can set up a virtual appointment with HAR, log on to your dashboard, in the training tab you can select the type of classes, even free courses, CE credits, etc. In the TREC site you can also find accredited course providers. Seek and you shall find!
Your broker is your lifeline. If they are not there for you 24-7 your with the wrong brokerage. Call me for some free resources. I can hook you up in less than 10 min.
There's so much free help provided to Har agents. Free Lawyers available to talk with you daily - 800-873-9155. Free Classes (I'm actually in one this very second. We're on break), Lead Gen software. Lead Storage. Branded Apps. I could go on and on. They do quite a bit for us actually.
Hi Edith! I understand your frustration! Real estating is not easy at times! You've seen the previous answers, that HAR offers free classes, and they can be very helpful. You can retake them if you need to. There are also lots of free training videos on the HAR website to help. You can find them in the "Members Only Portal" on the right side of the page, just under the red ENTER MATRIX MLS box. You'll see "Tutorial Videos" and "Matrix Training", as well as support phone numbers for Matrix, SUPRA, and Har.com. If you click on "See all support phone numbers" it will take you to another page with loads of contact info for HAR, private vendors, and state/national associations. Your broker should also be able to help you tons, as well as other experienced agents. Reach out to them. There are also real estate support groups/pages on Facebook...whenever I have a questions, I post in there and always get great feedback. Hope this helps!
What kind of help are you looking for? Here are a bunch of resources included with your HAR membership fees:
HAR classes - https://www.har.com/education HAR Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/hartv HAR Platinum agent FB group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/HARMLSPlatinum HAR RE dictionary - https://www.har.com/realestatedictionary HAR Mortgage dictionary - https://www.har.com/mortgagedictionary HAR Agent checklist - https://www.har.com/moa_consumerservices/agentchecklist
Also, I would definitely call title companies and ask them to include you on their email blasts because they often have free classes. Your broker should have resources also.
I am sorry you feel this way. HAR offers numerous avenues to be supportive of the agents, you just need to take the classes, they are free! Possibly consider sitting down with your broker and asking for some direction.
Hi! There are lots of free classes available on HAR. You just have to search and see which ones are at no charge. There are many resources all of these organizations provide for us as real estate agents. Maybe a question more specific to what you needing help with would help get you a more specific answer. I hope this helps. :)
