Yeah but we love you anyway Tracey!!:D

not even close...part of a good agents job is to ascertain where attendees found out about the property. From what I have ascertained, about 60-70% would come off the net, 20% newspaper and the rest are drive-by/letterbox drops/neighbour that will differ obviously across different areas, but...

it doesn't - it's designed to let the home owners know you exist so you get the call to come and have a chat - that is where you get to compete against the other agents - and that is where the skill of presenting and selling yourself comes in. actually very...a good deal of leads come from...

it would seem the Honda's are popular!!:p mate there is a lot of agent bashing - but there is also a LOT of good folks here who appreciate what we know when we offer it up freely and without prejudice or trying to attract business. I have made some good friends on this forum over the years and...

I drive a honda jazz - others in my office drive a commodore, corolla, 10yo lexus (a bomb) and a mazda 3. The owner drives a 3yo lexus 1 luxury brand - one so old it doesn't count - the other newer is the business owners car - still only a 50k car though and on a lease.

woah...another sweeping generalisation - know a bit about running a realestate office do you??? that is a ridiculously ignorant statement. and all you have to argue with is bustops/mags/junkmail??? c'mon, give it a rest...all businesses have to advertise and I bet you also get catalogues and...

they usually do...:(

i take your point pushka...but at 35k per year you're not paying massive amounts of tax anyway so having significant write off's won't help much. and when you take into account things like clothing (suits) and other required fare that isn't deductible and you are behind the eight ball. At least...

well that is possibly the biggest generalisation i have seen in ages...:mad: and on this forum there are plenty. I have never owned a BMW or other luxury brand...though a nice 530d would be awesome. come to think of it - there are very few agents I know driving luxury brands and the ones that...

and that, my friend, is something with which I whole heartedly agree!! :o you can get a salespersons certificate after completing a two day course in Qld for a couple of hundred dollars...to be fully licensed takes a hell of a lot longer and a couple of grand to do. i don't know the breakdown...

they're not free...the agency has to pay for them...nothing is free in this world. Most franchises provide for upgrade options on their corporate sites as well - similar to the way re.com does with feature properties etc. I agree REA & Domain get prob 80-90% of the hits easily, but exposure is...

all good mate, you just may have been lucky and got a few who paid for all. as for sites, a good agency will usually run... re.com domain.com myhome.com agencies own website franchise group site - as applicable homehound.com and any number of minor sites and specialist sites for...

Dave, most agents will provide the basic listing on the RE sites for free...as far as I am aware across nth bris prob 70% of them will charge for putting the property up as a feature property and Guaranteed top spot. the low turn over agencies tend to provide these for free, but high listing...
