@Mason Wade Morris

We hold a couple of agent/investor licenses. How much experience do you have in RE?

We do it because of the high amount of closings. We simply do too much business for me to handle myself, so we had to hire additional agents. I know a ton of great team leads or head brokers across the country, and their biggest problem is finding quality agents, not finding enough business.

What would keep them from wanting to help you? What do you mean by splitting commission that much?

@Kareem Lyons

I run a good sized real estate team with a lot of successful agents.  There is so much to learn in your first years that it's hard to it by yourself.  I'd recommend looking for a great team to join that can help you move in the right direction.  Our agents lead generate every single day, and you need someone to show you how.  Go find the best ones in your area.  If you need help finding a team, let me know and I'll be happy to ask around for you.

@Kaushal Patel - who is the builder? Many of our local builders prefer to close with their title company and pass along their builder discounts to the end buyer.

@Nathan Walker - What type of activity are you asking about?  Total units? Number of agents? Units per agent?  Something else?

@Cesar Egas

Congratulations! Do you plan on helping buyers/sellers or using the license for your own purchases?

Hi @Chris H

I'm a broker in Edmond.  Without knowing exactly where the property is (or more importantly how it's zoned), this might be a bit of a generic answer.  I see you mentioned that the land is unincorporated, so I'm assuming it's outside of city limits so the governing municipality would be the county.  There is a big difference in process of Oklahoma county (south of Waterloo) and Logan county (north of Waterloo).

1- If you are building quads or duplexes, there are a few local builders that we know that would love to take on the project.  

2 & 3 - These go together.  I'm going to assume that the land is unplatted, so survey work and engineering work would need to be done to determine the best fit that also complies with local municipal codes and guidelines.  This work would show streets, lots, water mitigation, and utilities easements.  With an initial proposal, you can start the process of attempting to get it rezoned.  The City of Edmond, for example, does a great job with their city planning and protecting the long term property values, so be prepared to make adjustments to the original plan. 

4 - Most of the local builder have contracts that can be used, although we'd always recommend having your attorney review the documents. 

Let me know if you have any other questions.
