Must be able to make HUD offers.

Must present all offers I make (this doesn't mean I make ridiculous offers)

Must make offers before I see the house

Must understand they will never be exclussive

Im my own agent. I think why I chose myself is pretty obvious. Im generally happy with the results I get from my agent.

Hi Richard,

Referral of a friend/family member is what I see the most. The agent-client relationship needs to have trust and it is difficult to build this online without social proof.

I would expect all of my clients to ask me these questions:

1) What is your background and what is your real estate experience?

2) What are the ballpark rental/sales prices for X neighborhoods?

3) How does the sales process work and how do you fit in?

Thanks.
