I wrote an article the other day about protecting rentors from bad land lord (houses that are in Forclosure) and I got a response that disturbed me.
I had a broker that wrote back that obviously didn't like rentals - Here is his response,
"Run a Lien check on the property or pull one yourself at your Registrar's office. However as a Broker I would ask why are my agents working so hard to place a renter into a house??? I know it might be a good thing to do but is that really what you should be doing? Property Management is a sticky business and facilitating a rental contract as a licensed agent is even more sticky....????"
I have a problem with this - I think as agents we should be able and willing to work every angle in this business. I treat rentors just like a buyer - I hope I treat them well enough that when they do decide to buy a house that they will remember me and use me to help them buy a house. I'm still fairly new in this business, but I don't let anybody go. I work them all.
Just looking to see how many agents work the rentals and see it they are willing to share thier conversion rate on these rentals.
Thanks in Advance
