Wendy Patton: not impresed so far

[Ivan Jouikov]

So I got Wendy Patton's LO course from a fellow REIA member (for only $60!) that included a think binder with info and a bunch of audio CDs. I listened to all of the CDs, two of which were "Live calls to Realtors" and "Live calls to Sellers."

I must say, it was a complete waste of time.

In the "sellers" CD, 95% of time was spent simply asking questions about the house and making small talk. There was not a single closed transaction on the whole CD. There was no educational substance.

In the "realtors" CD 60% of time was spent leaving voice mails to realtor offices ("hi i'm blah i do this please call me"); 35% was her "fishing" realtors who did answer the phone, and getting rejected. The other 5% was small talk with a realtor who apparently did "a few deals" with her. There was not a single closed transaction. There was no educational substance.

"Working the realtor system" and "broker" CDs I did find insightful though.

Now I'm going to read the binder and see if there's anything of value in there.
