i love this post! I have a question. How on earth does one get past all of the "PRIDEFUL" agents and investors in this business? we are literally trailing an area that either does them, by agents way, or has never done them, and act like they do! WE HAVE HAD several brokers, well known in our area, to call us in and make us think they are going to brings us leads, who out right lied to us! HAvent heard from either of them and they are not answering their calls! at the KY real estate meetings, I heard that this area was rough to break through. SO far? most agents and investors and brokers, act like we are taking their business or that we dont know what we are doing!!! We do have two agents that we are working with. One is great, laid back. The other is nice enough, agressive, and seems to want to run things, as she said she was taught.??! anyway i think you get my drfit. How do we break thru this..........thanks.
