LoB asked: New career…new real estate license. One broker wants to charge me for their training and mentorship, one says I don’t need training or mentoring, just hands on help. Another charges a franchise fee but says in the end I will get a bigger percentage. They all promise to help new agents create a business plan and get started. Have you had this experience as a new agent recently? How did you decide? What advice can you give? Thanks.

starshine35 asked: office contacted our landlord trying to convince our landlord to throw us out of the property and install a new tenant as our lease is due to expire this month. The broker was asking our landlord for a finders fee of several thousands of dollars. If the landlord does throw us out and rent to the new tenant will I have a viable lawsuit? These parties would never have connected without the introduction from the shady brokerage firm.

Dilbert asked: They want people to sign up to use them as buyer’s agent, so why not motivate those people with impossible short sales, and try to sell them other property while they wait forever for the short sale to be approved?
How common is that?

Angie S asked: My brother is looking to sell his own properties but did not want to pay much on commission . So his wife applied for a broker license.
But after she got my broker license , they went into a situation that needs a lot of money , so they want to sell their 3 properties .
After more than 6 months ,they still did not sale our properties yet . I wonder is that because buyers don’t like to buy house from broker’s own properties ??
Any advice on this situation ?

dozertank asked: I am looking into buying my first home. I live in Ontario Canada, and everyone is telling me to go to a mortgage broker. I thought I would have to go the bank first to see what I qualify for. Is a mortgage broker and a bank, the same thing? I also heard something about a ‘first time homeowner’ thing that is also available. I am so clueless about this and I don’t want to get ripped off. Please tell me what steps I need to take to finally get out of this stupid apartment.
