Lady Realtors: Demand What You Deserve! A Call for Equity and Fair Commission Negotiations
* Commission drama is on the rise: When it comes to real estate, everyone’s favorite subject these days seems to be commission negotiations. Can’t we all just agree on a dog house price and call it a day? Apparently not!
* Ladies at a disadvantage: Our gal Rachael Hite fires a warning shot over inequality in the real estate battlefield – suggesting women are not fighting hard enough for their slice of the commission pie.
* Don’t be shy, ask for more: Hite isn’t just all talk, she dishes out some no-nonsense advice to negotiate a fair commission.
* Not just about the purse strings: This isn’t only about fattening up your wallet, Hite insists. With women having to secure their future, it’s about long-term sustainability and work recognition.
* Share the burden, honeypies: Hite argues that advocating for better pay isn’t just the task of individual realtors. The entire industry needs to reevaluate its norms and standards.
Hot Take: Lady Realtors, It’s Time To Roll Up Those Sleeves!
Let’s Talk Equity, Not Just Property!
Negotiation is the Name of The Game
And there you have it, folks! In a world where we’re counting pennies and measuring square footage, women realtors need to get their game on! No longer can they afford to sit back and watch the commissions roll in at their own leisurely pace. Paraphrasing our girl Rachael, ‘demand what you deserve and make sure you get it!’
Is this about women asking for more money? Absolutely! Is it about them working to secure their future? A million times, yes! But is that all? Well, not really.
See, negotiating better commissions is not just about more cash in hand today or a more secured tomorrow. It’s about breaking the glass ceiling – one property sale at a time. It’s about demanding due recognition and ending the cycle of undervaluation that women across all industries suffer.
And folks, this isn’t a one-woman-show. The responsibility for change can’t just fall on the well-dressed shoulders of our hard-working realtors. Consider this a PSA for all stakeholders in the industry. Let’s pull together and create an environment where we’re not just selling properties, we’re promoting fair play.
So here’s to a future where a woman realtor’s negotiation skills aren’t just used to wrangle property prices but also to ensure she’s not short-changed. Because ladies, remember, it’s not just about the square footage in the property, it’s also about the bucks in your pocket!
