Advice on working with a home buyer's RE agent using an hourly rate?
23 January 2025 | 8 replies
For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.

•For example, a listing with three price drops and 180 days on the market would be weighted less than one with 30 contacts, no price drops, and a quick removal after 30 days.3.Open Data:•Provide direct access to each comp’s details: price history, leasing schedules, photos, and even links to the original listing sites—all without leaving the platform.These three issues have been my biggest frustrations with current tools, and I’m building this out for internal use in my market.My questions to you:•Is this something you would want to see in your market?
