My Real Estate team leader it’s charging me $5,000 to leave her team before the one year mark….

Here it’s my story, I need an advise

I stared my real estate career at Keller Williams were I met my productivity coach who later on created a real estate team and decided to join. She seem really nice and caring at first, when I joined the team o signed a contract of confidentiality with her and I remember her telling me one of the things she did not like or tolerate was gossip. So my splits were not that bad, if it was my client I found it was 25/75 and if it was a Lead she gave me it was 50/50… Which to me it make sense at first I though I was going to be getting leads. But later down the line I realized I was not getting leads, she will give me a list or really cold cold leads and expires to call. Which I would have to build the relationship over time. The first 2 deals I had with her that I close were from people I knew, and one other listing was from a list of expires that I build the relationship as well over time. And between those times I had other clients but she will want to meet some of them and just ended up scaring them away because she was so rude to them that all my clients complaint that she was rude and it seemed that she gave them an attitude. Long story short she scared my clients away and then she still had the audacity to tell me I needed to read me a book on how to make friends because I always look mad and that that’s why people did not want to talk to me….. And one day I call her because I had a question about something and told me to stop harassing her and her girlfriend who was also in the team and I didn’t like at all because she pretended to be so experience when we both had sold the same amount of homes and just felt entitled because she was my team leaders girlfriend, and yes they were lesbian which I don’t have anything against people sexuality by the way.

Anyway, they will both always criticize me for anything and tell me that I didn’t know how to talk to people and that that’s why they didn’t wanted to work with me. It got to the point were they even wanted to control the way I dress and talk. One day my team leader told me the new broker we move to was having a party and that I needed to be there and could not be late cause it was a party for white people not Hispanics and could not be late. Also she would force me to go to the office every single day because she said she got an office for us to use it, therefore we had to be there every single day.

She was just so toxic and her girlfriend to, I took so much disrespect from them, cause I though they were helping me at one point.

What broke the straw was when she told me I was harassing her and that I got into a car accident one time and I was left with no car and she told me I needed to rent a car if I wanted to make it in real estate knowing I was making no money with her.

Previous to that, I remember saying she updated the contract to anyone new that was joining the team, had to pay her $5,000 to terminate the contract. Which back then I was not considering leaving the team so I signed the contract and then all that BS began to happen even more. Her and her girlfriend began to treat me like shit and felt so disrespected by them.

I have my daughter right now and trying to get back on my feet has been hard, specially trying to pay my bills, feed my daughter, and trying to save for a car. I decided to leave that toxic team to go to another team where even though I just been there for a month I already got someone under contract and I’m actually being provided Zillow leads and people who actually want to buy. No now my ex team leader it’s telling me I need to pay her $5,000 soon because I signed that contract and her girlfriend send me an email as well. I told her I would not pay her right now because I have no money and she knows I’m trying to get back on my feet, and I also told her I would not leave my child hungry just to pay her $5,000 when I made her money when I was there and all I received from them was bad treatment and being constantly criticized like if she was my mother …..

I don’t think it’s fair for me to even pay her those $5,000 because at the end I made her money and she was forcing me to go to the office every day like if I was even getting pay the hour just cause she got an office she knew she could not even afford. She would just want us to go to the office to gossip about other people and investigate out personal life’s. When we would have one on one coaching she would want to ask us about our personal life’s and not business.

I need an advise??? What could I do?

Or do you guys think I’m in the wrong?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
