That easy eh? Right on Michael, I’ll look into that tonight. Thank you.

We flipped a house over the winter and sold it this spring. 4 months after the sale they have a leak in one of the fittings we installed. Dripped inside the wall and caused some water damage. They called us and we went out to cut out the affected drywall and set up a dehumidifier. Next day they are saying the ceiling, floor and possibly the wall on the other side needs replacing too!! There were no signs of that when we were there. I’m trying to be nice and protect my name but now they are threatening legal action! We even offered to pay their deductible for an insurance claim! I feel like I should’ve ignored this one but I try my best to do what is right.

Anyone else having a great day??

I would like to start by buying and selling my own properties and touch on a few on market deals if the opportunity arises. I do like working with my hands and building things so I don’t want to be a full time desk boy. The low monthly fees is definitely appealing too.

Is there a website or what woujx the best way to get in touch with someone in my area involved in EXP?

@Charlotte Chew

Yes those are my thoughts exactly! I don’t need to be the top selling agent or anything but to do a few deals and have a bit of an inside advantage on deals. We are also wanting to find and source more off market deals so if we can’t flip or brrrr them then maybe we can just list them

@Kobe Xin

I appreciate your offer. It has been a thought for a long while to get my licence, so if I do decide to go that route then I will take you up on that. To be brutally honest my biggest hesitation on becoming a realtor is that it would make me a hypocrite. We have used realtors a number of times and some experiences have been decent while others have been down right a waste of time. So it makes me hesitant to join.

I will discuss it further with my wife. Thank you very much for some time out of your weekend to answer some questions. I really appreciate it. Thanks Kobe

@Kobe Xin

That is a lot less then any other realty group! What did you think of the training process? I’ve worked in and around the residential houses for years but I really do not know much about the legal selling of a property. My only worry is not knowing the paperwork side of things.

@Kobe Xin

That is very true. I would assume that EXP would give me access to the local MLS and be able to view houses for sale? I find realtors in our area are not very prompt at viewing properties. I'd like to find my own deals and view properties in my own time. My only deterrent to any other brokerage is the yearly fees. I don't intend to replace my full time job at this point

@Kobe Xin

Thank you Kobe for your feedback. Do you think it would drive anyone anyway in having to disclose that your a realtor?

I have been reading and listening to podcasts on joining EXP Realty. I live in Sask. Canada. We are real estate investors (fix n flips, new builds) in your opinion is it beneficial to become a licensed agent myself? Is EXP a good fit?
