No personal experience with him but in general i think the mega agents provide very poor service to their clients. They just collect listings and dont provide complete analysis of what is going on in the market. The work is generally pushed down to the least capable person possible. You never get to talk to the figure head. the truth is most of the claims thye make and brilliant marketing systems are pre-packaged systems created by someone acroos the country that are being implemented according to the creators directions. Most of what they offer has perceived value to clients but most agents understand it has very little real value. I just don’t see how someone can possibly provide good service to 5o clients.
As an example, one of these guys up by me is collecting listings. He takes out full page ads in the U-T every Sunday claiming “it’s not the market, it’s the marketing”. Last time I checked, he had about 50 listings and ZERO of them in escrow!
For the record, Battiata’s doing better. He has 61 active listings and 10 in escrow. Most of the properties he has in escrow are short sales and I suspect half of them wont make it to the finish line. He’s closed 5 sales in the last 60 days. Also 90% of his business are low end properties.
