Every year it seems I attend more and more functions, Christmas parties, New Year bashes and recently the Governors economic summit and it always seems that when people find out I'm a Realtor it leads to (as my wife says a whole night of) talking Real Estate. We recently sat at a table for eight and each person had a real estate question. Most want to know when their home price will head up or at least stop going down. I usually attend something of this nature every week and I come away with a deal a month because of it. But I have found most just want advice because it's free.
I remember once asking an attorney a question at one of these and he did spend a half hour or so answering but he also sent me a bill. After I called him to see if he was for real, he did let me slide but I think he thought I would probably pay it. I thought maybe I ought to start that to but I think it comes off as being a jerk.
Anyway it does seem to bother the guest that I take whether a friend or my wife and I was wondering what would you do in a case. I can always use the business but is there a point that you just don't talk business.
