While exchanging our old Supra keys for new ones, I was standing in line at the final station and asked the man that was programming my key the following question. "Are you or do you know anyone that is thinking about selling or buying any Real estate?" He paused, the two agents I was in between thought I was completely off of my rocker. I mean the room is filled with agents. Over 200.
This is after I yelled to the entire group as they were at the first station, "may I have your attention, there is a Mercedes in the parking lot that has their lights on..." While I thought this was funny. The crowds reaction proved it was not. That whole, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, thing came into play. ( I supposed a Repossession tow truck would have had a better reaction!!!)
This man had seen at least 50 before me. Surely someone had asked that question. He told me actually I have. He also asked me "he asked me" for my card (I'm glad he did, I was still a bit taken back by his saying yes) and told me he was going to be ready after the first of the year.
Smoke them if you got them. I suppose Real Estate is not for the shy?
Lesson - You never know and won't unless you ask!!! You can only be killed once. A scared man dies a thousand deaths, but a brave man but once!!!(that last one was not mine) Neither is "3 men can keep a secret if two are dead"(that is the result of lots and lots of Police Training and my exposure to various folks from a really bad element!!)

I will add to the better side. You also need to listen when they are telling you what they want. It works both ways.
