Hey, SD. Thanks for replying. If I consider doing this, it wouldn’t be a full-time thing for me. I went to school a lot of years for the career I’m currently focused on. Although If I tried this and became a millionare, I’d switch to full-time. Haha. I don’t even know if I’m interested, but I’m interested enough to look into it a bit.
This guy works at Tarbell Realtors on Hwy 79 south (Temecula). From what I gleaned from the convo, it sounds like he started around this past Dec. He talked about how well Tarbell trains their people, allows them use the office facilites for personal business tools (copies, etc). Then he talked about the benefits of having his own business and how he writes off everything, gas for his vehicle, lunches, faxes, etc. Another thing he talked about was how he just got this good deal on a SFR for himself, insider deal (whatever that means, I didn’t probe). I would think he meant that realtors get notice of properties and can put in a bid before the general public if they want the property?
In any event, he urged me to go to one of Tarbell’s informational meetings. I may attend.
P.S. I’m going to send this guy an e-mail and verify when he started and how many houses he has sold thus far. If he mentioned it today, I missed it. Although he did talk about a 12k commission check.
