Let me get this straight, you want what from me?

Holy Moly - look what happens when I go away busy writing contracts and working on short sale. Yikes! Thanks all for your comments. All be back later to respond......

Kathy - loyalty is a two way street.  Excellence begets excellence.

Rodney - ha - me either!

janeAnne - thanks!  Much appreciated!  We all have a choice with whom we want to work with. I think of it as the law of attraction in action.

Deborah - I can spot this type fast.  Only really took a couple of minutes.  And....wait for the follow up post.  Too funny!

Kathleen - yes and he's only about a month or so too late on this one.

Loren - there is a crazy idea out there by a few , that by calling listing agents they will get a better deal. That is not the case and certainly I do not represent both sides on a short sale.

Kathleen - the time spent was very little.  I wasn't chasing after that cat!

Valerie - exactly. I scour the markets every single morning and I know exactly what's out there for sale, what's pending and what closed.  And I know what my investors want.  I'm not wasting time on folks who do not value my expertise, time and energy. No thanks.

Chris Ann - he actually wasn't acting like a jerk - just uninformed as to the best way for him to get a good deal in our market.  He was looking for some sucker to play his game - and he found one a young agent.  That sucker  poor agent called me the next day but did it do any good. No. The house is pending. And thanks so much for the feature!

Jerry - I learned that line from a very wise man my first year in the business.  Lucky me!  I should write a post about that teacher. He was amazing.

Jim - yes they have some screwy idea but it doesn't work in any kind of market.

Donne - hey you got give him koudos for at least attempting to get his hat in the ring. Now he needs to take some lessons and LISTEN.

Charlene - next is right!

Anthony now that is a good line as well. I like it.

Nathan almost all of our sales are cash right now. And they'd better be working with somebody who knows how 'not' to lose the deals out there.  Gone in a flash these days.

Michael - here here!

Jane - work for free?  Craziness.  Everybody needs to make a living.

Justin - you got it. You betcha when hell freezes over.

Elizabeth he found a young agent the next day. He called but the house is still sold kids!  Duh?

Corrine - most likely not unless he is willing to learn and listen on how it really works....

Michelle - the 401K thing is smoking hot right now.  With the right CPA etc people should be looking into this form or cash for investments.  Better averages than the stock market.

Brenda - it wasn't a big deal. Less than 5 mintues. 

Rosalie - he was simply uninformed and actully he was nice. Just didn't want to hear the truth of how it works.

Alan - lol. Like that will happen.  We know the wise investors are ready to pounce on the good deals.

Jayne - oil and water. I like that idea.

Nancy we've probably all met several along the way. Next.  At some point they'll figure it out - but for some it takes way too long.

Scotti - that's interesting.  The ones I work with I know are buying from me. I don't want to work with the other type.

Bob - indeed. It was an easy choice.

Phil - how that makes any sense is beyond me?????  Who thinks like that?  Gee let me work for hours and days and not get paid. sure.

Stacia - any professional and experienced agent isn't going to stand for it.

Mike that would be the ole circular file as we call it!

Barb I'm sure I wasn't the first - and I know I wasn't the last. The last one called me the next day!! Or wait...I'm sure he'll keep trying with others who will bite.

Patricia - done in less than 5 minutes!

Lloyd - only difference we are not in a slow market. Homes are flying off the shelves.  

Erica - it is all about mutual respect.

Deb - wow - this hit home for you. Thanks for the feature.  And...he actually seemed like a nice guy - just thinking it would work 'his' way and didn't want to listen.

Suzanne - you crack me up. Play in the corner sucker!

Peter and Lynda - indeed. First in the line - first to win at this game.

Melville - hmmm all my cash buyers are very respectful and a true gift to work with. They know I'll do what ever I can to make their goals a reality.

Mike - it alwasy pays to me nice and professional.  Rarely have I had to go the other way.

Sharon - now that would be a really short phone call with that dude!  ha

Beverly - refer him.....na.  He's the type who won't go far.

Christine - yes they need to be qualified beforehand. Most of mine are past clients from years of being in the business or they are referrals from very trusted sources.  Some come from AR referrals as well.

Maria - what kind of cake should we give them?  lol

Tamara - no brainer.  He just didn't know what's really going on.....and didn't want to hear the truth.

Gabe that's like a day late and a dollar short et?

Scott...indeed they do.  They're smart cookies.

Richard - it true all over the place. It makes more sense to be being real estate at these low prices.  No brainer.

Charlie - everyone works the way they want to. But I'm not going to cart somebody around our big city in hope of finding a needle in a haystack.  There must be a strategic plan in place up front - and smart investors know this part of the equasion. In a small community perhaps it wouldnt' be as big a deal?

Larry and Sheila - I think it's neptune, isnt' it?  lol

Richard bit mistake following the lead of a client who has no idea of what he's doing.  Not going to happen on my watch.  Hard to imagine seasoned and professional agents would have such a business practice.

Michael - cash can and does trump other offers, not alwasy but it can.  But here it's not so far off the list price and most seasoned buyers know that.  I have another trick up my sleeve I'll share about this - next week!  Worked again just this past few days.  Bingo for my investors!

Dee - of course. It was a simple office call of less than 5 minutes.

Oh....Candy you so make me laugh.  Get real or get on with ya bad self!  Love your sense of humor!
