[quote=sdrealtor]BG,
Just so ya know. Russell is also a part time agent. Before he jumps in, I’ll point out that there are ways to be in the RE business on a peripheral basis that are much cheaper.[/quote]
sdr, I wasn’t attacking Russell here (or ANY Pigg for that matter). I seem to remember reading somewhere that he was licensed.
I forgot to add CAR membership fees to my list of expenses. At the time of last taking down my license about eight years ago, it was about $540 year IIRC. Don’t know what it is now.
Aside from the expensive high-speed scanner rental (which you can get Kinkos to do if you have the time to visit often), I really can’t see any way to run a RE sales business any cheaper. If you “run” all your own transactions, esp short sales (instead of “follow them”), as you pointed out, you could get very bogged down in paperwork until the wee hours (at the expense of pursuing more biz). That’s where a transaction coordinator or asst might come in handy. Finding a competent one though, might be challenging.
