"Real estate consulting - sounds great, BUT..."
We hear this every time we talk about real estate consulting - "It sounds great, BUT..."
So, let's deal with the BUT's you may have about REal Estate Consulting in the REal World!
Do any of these questions or concerns sound familiar?
"My broker won't let me..."
"I don't want to discount my fees."
"How do I figure out what to charge?"
"Where do I find people who are willing to pay for consulting?"
"How do I market myself as a consultant?"
"No one else charges for a CMA; why would anyone pay me for one?"
"Buyers will never pay for representation since they get it free now."
"Do I have to split my consulting fees with my broker?"
"Buyer rebates? I don't want to work for free! Is that even legal?"
"What if a seller doesn't have the money to pay upfront?"
On Tuesday, September 13th, Mollie Wasserman, the queen of real estate consulting, will be in the studio with me to answer as many of these questions as we can for you.
Please note - This is NOT a program ABOUT consulting and why you'd want to do it, but rather a show telling more about HOW to do it in the real world! If you want to get yourself up to speed on what consulting is and why we think it's the future of real estate, here are a few resources for you to do that:

Really looking forward to the seminar, Jennifer. I earned my ACRE endorsement last month and am trying to find the right way to pitch the new way to my broker, who is another one mired in "this is the way it has always been done".
I just say this post !!!!!!!! I missed this arrgghh Do you think it will be repeated ?
Charlie - you didn't miss anything - it's tomorrow!
Exactly what I believe our business model will be in another 10 or so years. You're so ahead of the curve JAH. Copious notes ahead!
I'm sorry to say that I will miss this one. :(
Jenn -- A part of my business is consulting and I LOVE Mollie's book!
I am in for the seminar.
I'm still new to the business and trying to figure it out, but I'm so intrigued by this concept. I'll try and get to the webinar but Tuesday's are our broker's tour day and I've got to keep previewing so I can "know my market" like no one else!
