I am a brand new agent who lives in Madison Heights Michigan and I’m going to be working primarily on the selling side. I need to find a broker that is willing to really sit down with me and take the time to go through some intensive training on how to customize and optimize a listing presentation to persuade potential sellers to list their home with me and that I’ve become their listing agent.

I’ve been shopping around at different brokerages, but I want to keep my options open. Please weigh in if you can help me. I’m willing to meet with people over the phone or even in person.

I will be relocating to Nevada later this year. Possible in Henderson/Vegas area. I want to know what the flipping/rehab market is like in nevada. I currently live in MI. Also, are there any good clubs or investor associations I can plug into right away? Thanks in advance!!

Please advise on the best way to actually do a rental property showing. I read in a book one time that the best day of the week to show a rental in on Saturday morning at 7:30am. The reason being is because all the drunken party animals will still be in bed and are not responsible enough to wake up and go see a property so earl. In having iit at 7:30 am, you will screen out 90% of all the undesirable tenants who party hard and are irresponsible, whereas anyone who will wake up that early will be a very responsible tenant who can rent long-term. 

Also, do you do a one-on-one showing, or do you have multiple applicants show up all at once so there is a feeling of competition in the air, which is good for the landlord.  Please advise, and thanks in advance for all the awesome answers I know you'll be sending my way!

Thanks for the answers everyone! How do you work the leads? Do you call them back or email them one by one? That wold seem pretty time-consuming. Do you have them call into  a 24/7 voicemail? Please advise on how you deal with and manage the leads.

What is the best way to Advertise A Vacant single family Rental? Craigslist? Newspaper? Online websites like rent.com or apartments.com? I hear that putting a rental sign in the yard is not a good idea, since that can signal that the property is empty and can be broken into. I've very lost and confused as to how to do this. Thanks in advance for all of your answers!

Does anyone here either own or know of a good property management company for Wayne and Oakland County?
