How much is a REN’s salary? Well… 🙂
About 30 percent of the traffic to kopiandproperty.my comes from organic search. Occasionally, some search term amuses me and I write about them. Take a look at today’s result for search terms. Someone searched ‘real estate agent Malaysia salary’ and somehow got redirected to kopiandproperty.my Haha. Real Estate agent means Real Estate Negotiator (REN) Perhaps…

Waiting for that property everybody likes may take a LONG time
Two friends who are real estate negotiators were chit-chatting a few days ago. I happened to be their team-mate. Mr. C said that he has a customer who likes a certain project within a certain area and has been enquiring for the past few months but even after viewing a few units, the customer did…

When the REN is killing his potential deal
The below was an actual conversation between two people. It happened two days ago. A Real Estate Negotiator (REN) and a potential customer. They were on their way to visiting a condo unit in Gelugor, Penang. The unit was at Level 19. Their conversation as follows: Potential Buyer: How many floors are there for this…

iProperty.com Agents Advertising Awards – The Winners
Real estate negotiators do not have an easy life. Seriously. Sellers who refuse to use a dedicated one but chose to instead gave it to 10 different negotiators. Buyers who kept viewing forever and ever and never buy. However, rain or shine, if you are their top customer (whether buyer or seller), the good ones…

Today is Saturday. Let’s talk about something indirect about marketing and promotions for properties. I was invited to speak in a Toastmasters event today. I reminded all the club leaders that we are NOT an English class. Toastmasters provide a positive environment for everyone to learn by doing and at their own pace. Everyone is…

NREA: Recognising the best in the real estate industry
I have many friends who are Real Estate Negotiators (RENs). In fact one ex-colleague whom I admire a lot is now a very successful REN too. I always look at this profession as one where success comes after much persistency and consistency. Perhaps the toughest would be when they started because this is the time…

Potential to be cheated by illegal brokers are higher, definitely.
Personally, I have many good friends who are Real Estate Agents (REA) and Real Estate Negotiators (REN). I would engage them for all my real estate transactions. I would not want to take many calls and open the doors to show my unit to potential buyers 5 times a week. I would let the RENs…

More efforts needed but lower closures. Many have changed their full time job as Real Estate Negotiators (REN) to a part time one and taking up another…

How many of us have received calls that there are problems with our credits cards and that we must provide our login ID and password to check it out? Actually, if the bank is the one calling, why would they be asking for your login ID and password? These days, it’s becoming even more sophisticated…

Knowledge, work harder and a good agency is critical during a slowdown
A younger friend who’s a property agent told me that he could no longer continue as an agent. Market is too slow and he is earning way too little. Thus, he wants to look for a full-time employment (9-5) instead. I do not think this younger friend can survive in a full-time employment with a…
