Do you ever feel like the entire weight of your business falls squarely across your shoulders? Some times as Entrepreneurs we might even carry that weight with pride. This is your baby after all.

After time, if you have had any success at all that baby grows and your shoulders surely grow weary from the added burden and complexity of your business.

If you ever have run copies, typed in addresses, called clients about non-crucial issues, then you just may suffer from Seven Dollar an Hour Syndrome.

Doctors from Harvard University loosely define this as an affliction that attacks fledgling and established entrepreneurs as they seek to build a business. It especially creeps up on business owners when they have immature systems and processes.

We fall into a technical role and act less like a business owner. A role that makes you do $7 hr or lower work, instead of earning an owners wage.

Please join me as I grill Barbara Simmons and Greg Uttal and we discover how Greg has helped Barbara break out of the Seven Dollar an Hour Syndrome.

http://intz.interviewswithrealestateexperts.com/barbgreg/

Barbara will tell you:
-How someone worth $500 an hour gets suckered to do $7 hour work.
-Why Seven Dollar Syndrome Occurs and How it can be eliminated.
-How to find more time to grow your business and enjoy the benefits of your business
-Why you should really have a brokers license
-Why getting there isn’t always pretty, but it always ends up pretty if you have a system
-Why it does take money to make money, but it isn’t as bad you might think
-Two Powerful Words that are the Secret to Barbara’s success. Simple but lethal.

If your lead counts doubled today. What would you do? Could you grow right into it? Or would your office grind to a halt in gummy outdated processes?

In this short but concise half hour interview, you get why it does not matter if you knock on doors or you generate leads online. The ensuing mess that any new business activity makes can either slow your business to a halt or liberate you. Greg teaches how it will liberate you.

Managing 50+ agents is a job in and of itself. But Barbara runs this virtually up and down the State of California. And she aims to get more agents. All the while she finds time to whisk away to her fabulous Vegas and Maui hideaways.

In my interview with Mike Work, Mike told us that he believed in a total restructuring of the current system of Brokering real estate.

 Mike has had a ton of experience as he was one of the first variable commission brokers in the Country, and he along with yours truely helped the flat fee listing popularize across the net.

Well, I found a couple blog posts of late that really is interesting if you are considering a non-traditional real estate model.

Zip Realty

Zip Realty is a survivor. It was one of the first online Realty Shops that has grown over time. Zip offers the rebate model and may be in trouble if you believe the post by Russel Shaw.

From Russel’s post:

Let’s break down the compensation plan of an average zipagent:

• Avg Net Revenue/Transaction $7,400
• Avg zipAgent Commission 50%
• Avg Agent Commission/Transaction $3,700
• Transactions/Agent/Month .60
• Avg Monthly agent income $2,220

While at the Freakonomics blog, steve posts that Redfin ( the Iconic Real Estate 2.0 Net Firm)

“clients who use their discount brokerage firm pay a lower percent of the list price than the typical home buyer in Seattle (99.329% of the listing price with Redfin vs. 100.233% with other agents).  That difference in price is worth more than $4,000 per purchase, on top of the already discounted fees/commission sharing.”

One wonders after the Fat Uncle (Investors), are thru feeding these two pioneers if they will be able to still float.

Ever since my days as a real estate agent, I have not been a fan of the local board. Forgive my prejudice, but I always felt that the “leaders” were agents that were more interested in getting attention than selling real estate.

Perhaps it was when June, the lady who worked the desk was more helpful to a FSBO looking to purchase CAR forms for the sale of his home than helping me. Last I heard she is still working there. She must be 102 years old by now!

I thought how absurd that this jerk was even allowed into what I thought was my “association”.

Robbie over at Rain City rants about his “challenges” with the MLS here.

While Trulia mentions a couple of Brokers that Mike & I reference in the last interview.

It seems these guys are letting FSBOs to post their homes for sale on their site:

Some major real estate brokers such as ZipRealty and Catalist Homes are allowing for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) homeowners to post their home sale on the brokers’ highly trafficked Web sites. Many more brokers would like to do the same – so what’s stopping them? MLS rules of course!

I dug up a couple old press releases that I did for Mike and I when we were partners:

Man, I need to go on diet! that was a long time ago.
