WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU CAN'T PULL SOME GOOD COMPS ON A EXPIRED LISTING THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO GET? - 09/21/07 05:07 PM
I just called this homeowner who had a home on sale in a certain area but the listing agreement just expired. He told me to e-mail him information about me,my company,why I should be the listing agent for his property and some comps because some real estate agents have already called him about trying to re-list his property.

Please help me.

If you are like me,my business needs a kick it in the you know what. I set some goals.
