Should You Start Your Own Brokerage?
from East Meets West · host East Meets West
Are you looking to start a career and/or investing in real estate? If so, you'll really want to tune into this one. In East Meets West, we (Steve Zalunardo and Hussein Kabani) let you in on our conversation - most would probably call it a debate with the way we talk to one another. We share our very different stories of how we got started in real estate and go on explaining where we are heading. In episode 22 of East Meets West: We're into the Spring real estate market and in this podcast we're talking about our week dealing with the market and difficult realtors. We noticed there are a lot of agents out there that aren't working in their clients best interest and don't comply by best practices to get a deal done - which ends up with them losing deals for their clients. Currently we both own sub brokerages under REMAX West, however we discuss the idea of growing our real estate businesses by leaving the big name brand brokerage behind. Big brokerages are like an incubator and you need to use them as a way to structure your business and grow your transactions before you jump off into your own thing. Then we go on to talk about questionable home rental items in properties such as, hot water tanks and why we think you might as well buy it outright and/or you should be given that option when getting a new home... AND why do new builds come with no fences?! Please don't forget to rate and subscribe to our podcast! We would love to hear your feedback and answer any of your questions in our next episode.
