Few consider themselves experts in healhcare.
Mose believe themselves knowledgeable in real estate.
I share what I know, but never in a manner that is actionable.
For example a citizen may inquire about a specific property and I will suggest there are a number of exit strategies available that could/will prove beneficial. These strategies will reduce risk and increase options. THE END.

Unfortunately, experience has taught me that there's a point of diminishing returns when it comes to sharing expertise too freely. I let my instincts dictate when I think it's appropriate to assist without formality and compensation.

ABsolutely. Esptecially in Property management. I run across a lot of owners who like to maange the properties themselves, but dont actually do any of the work. They just fix things then something breaks. There is so much more to it than that (Especailly in california)

Yes, I do share expertise (in general, never about a client!), when asked. If I know the answer and am asked Nathan Gesner. This is not the same as answering '20 Questions" from a neighbor or family member, who then uses 'a friend' to be their realtor - HA!

All the time, Nathan Gesner ... there are some that I speak to that I know for a fact will never be actual clients. I refer .. dispense information ... advise ... and do what I can to help. I figure "what goes around, comes around" ... and it's just the right thing to do.

Too often but I think that's in part the nature of the business too... I did recently hear of an agent charging a $150 fee to do what I'll call a "prelisting appt" with a homeowner thinking about selling...

Pro bono real estate, it happens to collectively make it happen in a small rural town. Real estate is not the only service you provide in rural areas where pitching in and helping is a daily habit.

Sure. People reach out to me because they see me as an expert. I'm happy to help. It has come back in many ways that I never anticipated.

I share it. To me it never hurts to have people view you as a valuable source of knowledge. That way they refer people to you and those people pay for your expertise.

Don't we all? Free market analysis, free information on our website, free content from our blog posts, free newsletters with market information, free insight into our marketing plan during a listing presentation, etc. Much of it is done in hopes of getting future business but it's still free to consumers until which time they choose to sign up with us. Are youthinking of something more specific like helping a client buyer or sell a home commission free? Or taking on a property management rental with no management fee? -Kasey
