Approached multiple real estate agents in my market with the attempt of understanding pocket deals and to make offers on distressed on-market properties they have listed on the MLS. I have received nothing but responses from Doofuses. Why is that?

A lot of realtors give good ones a bad name but I can also tell you I get people who ask me for off-market some of the time and this is how the convo normally goes: I explain, "sure but I can also show you homes, set you up with the MLS and - NO NO Pete, we only want off-market. We are already working with 4 realtors with MLS deals"

Oh, yeah. Sure bud, I'll just let you cut in front of a few hundred clients that I have.

It goes both ways.
