1. When will the new HQ be completed? (Co-working space?)
2. Could you walk us through REALSCALE? What gets set up by us? What gets set up by Stephen?
3. Is there still a 2 shift per week limit for leads duty? When are new lead shifts released?
4. If someone from my database is shared by another agent in FUB do I need to turn them off from receiving automated newsletter from me? Ive had one SOI reach out that is duplicated.
5. How are people using email between FUB and Gmail? I am started to get annoyed with having to delete emails in gmail because I used the FUB interface to communicate.
6. If I add a relationship, say spouse to a contact, will they get automated emails as cc’d, independently or not all unless the related person has their own contact listing?
7. How can I best build good expectations with buyers before an inspection of an older home? I've run into trouble recently where even though I prep them to expect lots of minor issues, and that we're looking for major issues, they end up getting fixated on creating a laundry list of requests for minor repairs, even when they are just regular maintenance items. Follow up on #1. During negotiations, I've needed to put the whole situation into perspective for the buyers, and mention the seller's state of mind and how that will play into things. Despite being careful about my phrasing, this makes buyers bristle and feel like I'm advocating for the sellers instead of them. How would you recommend I handle this to get the buyers to be more reasonable during negotiations without offending them?
8. Would love to discuss assumable mortgages and how they work. Seeing this offered on some listings lately and would love to hear your personal experience with them
9. What do you look for in a lender? (What keeps you with Max & Co?)
10. What's best practices on getting the lowest price on non-realty items... include this addendum with the contract before the option period or wait until the option period? Need help on navigating this a bit better.

13. If you had to invest in real estate that was not a single family home, what would you choose and why?
14. Is there an investment property you wish you didn’t buy? What did you learn from the deal and subsequent ownership?
