Yesterday I took a newer investor to look at distressed properties.

WE have looked at a good number and I know what he is looking for.

Before we went, I told him what my thoughts were and that none would fit his needs.

Still, he wanted to see them.

After wer were done looking he said...

Bill, I am tired of wasting time. You have been right about every property we have looked at and you were right before we got there. From now on, unless you want to look at it, I will pass and use my time better.

That is one thing that buyers need to do...trust that the agent understands what you are looking for and if they say it doesn't fit the bill, then listen to them.

If you don't trust the agent like that...find a new agent!

Great advice William Feela, especially after a relationship and track record have been established! If an agent isn't trusted to do their job, why even get an agent?

Amen Rev. William Feela why would anyone work with someone they don't trust?

Folks who are buying and selling real estate are often dealing with one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable asset in their lives. It is important that they work with a real estate professional they trust.

Funny that he did not want to waste his time ... LOL

What about wasting your time? Oh my gosh ... that is just so true of many buyers. Once it is proven to them time and time again ... they finally get it.

Hi William. It sometimes takes a little while, but after a few times they had better trust me or find someone else.

Smart man. I often find that buyers have to see those homes we caution about for themselves to realize we arenn't trying to hide anything from them.
