does it really take brass balls to sell real estate?
>>215056603What does the agent do that the house itself doesn't?
>>215056603this guy was just a psycho with a fetish for emasculating elderly men because his grandpa put it in his ass as a kid
>>215056603You're thinking of a pawn shop.
You have to be a really good salesman. But getting involved in it is easy, apparently it takes only a couple of months to get a license
>>215056859Know a girl that did it and she went to selling ranchers in suburbia to multi-million dollar homes.
>>215056859>You have to be a really good salesman.Or an average salesman. Selling houses isn't harder than selling other stuff because houses actually has a very obvious purpose that all people need.
>>215056859>>215057097>t. clueless retardsIt takes to be ruthless. You are making a one, single fucking transaction with those people, you are never going to meet them again. You oversell to buyers and underscore for sellers, and collect everything between, while treating everyone as commodity and your ATMIf you can't do that - you shouldn't be a real estate agent.
Patel?!? Are you fuckin' serious? Shiva could tell them they'll make a million bucks and THEY STILL WONT SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE.
>>215056603YOU CALL YOURSELF A SALESMAN YOU SON OF A BITCH?!
>>215056603how could you not laugh at a guy for carrying around brass balls?
>>215057097Yes, but can you sell it? Can you convince people to even buy a more expensive home? Are you a good salesman? Are you good with people? Are you funny? Do you have a good attention to detail? Are you willingly to work days and even weeks with people trying to find them a home? Some shit is easier said than done.
>>215057119Meh, I thought about it at a time.
>>215056603Wait, do you really want to keep living where you are just now?For the rest of your life, growing old and stale, everything around you becoming too familiar?You're not like those others who can't see what they're becoming, you've always known what you can achieve when you put your mind to something.It's got you this far, am I right? So why rest on your laurels now?I don't tell many people this but I've got a connection in the trade who's specialty is finding gems, I mean the absolute best property around here and every time the price is undervalued.He only trusts me, he jokes I have an eye for shrewd buyers who can be trusted, which is kind of a compliment to you. As we're talking here, right?So what are you doing this evening? I've this one place, fully ready to go, it's basically a palace so will not last long on the open market. Let me show you what you can beat others too!They're only in it to flip it but for you, well for you this could be generational family living. And hey, if you do.want to flip it yourself, you can as it'll be yours and you're in control.So are you free around 6pm?
>>215056603In a sense, I suppose it takes balls to be a human leech trying to push a lifetime commitment onto anyone with a pulse. Not exactly a job for the timid or cowardlyAlec Baldwin did a great job in that scene though, he essentially pulled a Scarface and was so convincing that a bunch of people thought he was a model for success and not a horrible manipulator
>>215056603No, real estate just requires you to be dumb and immoral enough not to care about saddling people with huge mortgages they may or may not be able to pay off. Lots of very dumb people with no emotions whatsoever make tons of money selling real estate
I dunno, maybe commercial real estate I guess. Residential is all just having good people skills so you can help sellers and buyers negotiate with each other while skimming everything you can for yourself.
>>215057119You tell them bro! I bet those bitches don't even drive a lambo!
>>215058427I was actually looking into it, but I cant sell shit. Im a terrible salesman, but I have no problems having someone sign an insane mortgage with dollar signs in my eyes.
