By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Cinco Ranch License #0574076

Indecisive buyers may pitter patter for weeks or even months searching for a home and then decide not to buy at all. Make seller listings your primary lead generating focus. Always remember: If you get seller listings, the buyers will follow!

This is where I usually like to be but having a couple of Buyers these past few weeks has been a nice reprieve Julie.

Julie, my business has transitioned to more listings than buyers over the years.  All the reasons above are certainly true.

The first time someone told me this it all made sense - "You can work with 10 sellers at once but try working with 10 buyers at one time"... LOL
