I got licensed last year and have done over 100 inspections with a multi, including training. Most of the people I work with have the mentality that we should do years full time before attempting to go solo.
It’s a good company. I like the people and we have full schedules. But only getting 30% without benefits is a drag, and there’s been a lot of pushback when others have negotiated for more, despite the company doing very well. We also don’t do much ancillary services and that’s something I’m interested in. I know this has been asked a bit, but I’m looking for fresh answers.
So for you solo folks, how much experience did you get beforehand? If you were always solo, did you have trouble in making mistakes or a really slow start? How long did it take to build up consistent business? Focus local or set a pretty large range (I’m driving 2-3 hrs a day rn). Realtors these days prefer multi or solo? Any marketing avenues that have been particularly fruitful? Thanks in advance.
