New investors coming to Agents

[Jonathan Orr]

I was speaking with a friend who is a fellow Real Estate agent (young guy that is hungry to grow) and we were discussing my side of the industry (Real Estate Development and consulting).  He asked me if he could connect me with a client he has who wants to get into real estate investing.  Of course this immediately set off the thought of a way to expand my consulting business and wanted to know if other agents/brokers get the everyday man or woman coming to them looking to be taught one thing or another in regards to real estate?

Being a licensed agent myself and being involved in transactions, I know a buyer or seller wants a agent/broker to do everything under the sun and expects them to know every event and how to handle things before it even comes up.  I was wondering if other agents feel the same that they are expected to teach their clients when you either are not well informed or don't feel it is part of the job description.

Cheers!
