What's the modus operandi of the best agent you know...
...and what do you think they could do better?
To me it seems like there are a lot of real estate agents...and a lot of bad real estate agents. I've decided to be a real estate agent and investor, but I want to be good at it, of course. What are some important things that make a good agent? Is the car they drive, the (too much) perfume or cologne they wear, the beehive hair doo or the waxed moustache, how much they smile?
I know it's none of those things. But, what is it?
