There is always that possibility, no matter in what industry and even from well established people.

Is that a problem with newbies? Or is that a problem with all types of agents? Or maybe it's not even about agents, but about people.

Hi Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! I loved your response to one of the earlier answers. I was going to come here to comment about the "Participation Trophy" generation myself. Seems like a lot of people think they should be starting out at the top and not have to work their way up. So when advice is offered that might include doing some actual work and putting in the time it has a tendency to fall on deaf ears.

I always like and wish I practice what my father always told me and I now believe it's the best advise for newbies "Stay GREEN and GROW!" LOL

The biggest mistake Newbies make, I believe is thinking thy ar going to enter the business, and change everything. Organized real estate has been around now for over 100 years. not much changes, as it has been refined and perfected over that time period. Some come in wanting to, and thinking they can, reinvent the wheel. Theyy will get slapped down awfully fast by some seasoned pros who have a lot of traction to sustain their business.

Offer advice. Between stimulus and response man has the power to choose. Nobody ever said all choose wisely!

Well. In my other profession I give advice for $$$$$$. So I'm kind of spoiled like that.😎
Imagine if we ALL charged for advice. LOL
Maybe they might listen more.

Sadly, the need for instant gratification has permeated through every aspect of our lives. Newbies of all ages in this business are afflicted with it, not just the younger folks. Real Estate has been seen for too long, as a get rich scheme for air heads not qualified to be a success at anything else. I welcome them in and wish them well when they leave. Everyone deserves the chance to try.

Those coming or wanting to get into the industry don't realize the behind the scenes work it takes to forge ahead in this business. They can't see beyond the commissions for what they think is showing homes. As to advice? I point them towards the bigger brokerages to learn the ropes. I can't possibly teach them what I've learned in a lifetime that makes me a successful boutique brokerage.

I never offer advice unless it is asked for. If they ask and ignore it I will take that into consideration for next time.
It's like I tell my kids (and other people):
"Don't ask a question you don't want to know the answer to."

It could be this issue is not the newbie but the presumption of oldies assuming 'TO KNOW' what is in the mind and heart of a newbie.
Most olders say "FOllow the formual we've perfected over the past 50 years."
Newbies thinks "That was 1970! Something certainly has changed since the year after I was born."
Oldies know it a union shop and resistance if futile.
Newbies are not yet aware of what they signed up for in the system.
Too much money being made within the system until someone with money changes the system.

I'm with Carol Williams on this one. It's kind of funny to me when someone asks for advice and then fights it for whatever reason. Fine by me, don't ask me anymore if you don't want advice!

Pride, arrogance and indifference is no myth and the young & inexperienced prove the point constantly. I sometimes point out things here and there but I reserve my best input for those that inquire & want to know
