Love this thread. Anyone can do this. He’s right. Lease brokerage, in general, is a low-skill, high-hustle job.
But the thing is, LeaseHackr’s customer base is no joke.
I can without a doubt say that some of my LH leads have been some of the cheapest, stingiest, manipulative, controlling, and self-righteous people that I’ve ever come across. Some people lie, cheat, and steal over $10/month.
It’s not the majority that you see represented on this community, more in the lurkers and friends-of-friends, but if you get a few dishonest people texting you 24/7, then skating you over $100, and it will discourage the average Joe Broker and slowly grind you down.
Most of my customers are excellent people, but make no mistake, some real motherfuckers have come into my sales pipeline via LeaseHackr. It seems like the cheaper/better deal I have on offer, the volume of assholes that want the LOWEST price go up. And if I only have lukewarm deals listed here, the leads stop coming in.
Anyone can get started easily but if you don’t have extremely thick skin, a shit-ton of time, and strong business experience/accumen, you will get railed and eaten alive by this customer base. It’s just like working retail except the worst-case “I Demand to speak to the manager” people are inside your house, inside your phone, 24/7/365.
I show my friends and family my phone, full to the brim with text inquiries on new Hyundais, and they all think I’m a masochist for it.
