Would you be mad?

We've been doing some volume in rehabbing houses and I've been using the same realtor for most of our transactions. One day I get a call from my realtor saying that he bought a rehab for himself and he wanted to use my contractor since he was planning on doing 1 rehab then moving out of the country with his family. He's done a lot of work for me, so I thought I would be helpful and give him the number to my most trusted contractor. After a couple of months, I found out that he is doing another rehab and my contractor actually told me that my realtor asked him he is able to do 4-5 rehabs at a time. It bothers me because he wasn't being forth coming and the fact that as our volume goes up, his rehabs will be interfering. I've told my contractor that I don't want him to choose, but it's looking like something is going to happen soon. Please advise as I am getting angry over this. Thank you.

The Realtor is stealing your guy. Get your guy and keep him busy, I wouldn't even say anything, much, like how'd that work out? You can ask questions and see what he says, just ask him, did he pay you okay? Go from there.

Stop dealing with the Realtor, he's competition.

Put your guy to work, have a talk about all the work you'll have later on, ask him if he's up for a big year... intice him with the positive.... good luck
