Hey @Account Closed. And the way many agents talk about it, sellers and listings seem to be more favorable than working with buyers (especially since you get a commission from both selling the property and also helping that seller find a new one, in most cases). But you could flip that argument and say that buyers need to sell their property as well (not always if they're like an investor, but still). Furthermore, I often find it's much easier to convince buyers to sign with me than sellers by telling them that classic line: "Oh, did I mention that my services to you are free?" Of course, that money is still originally from the buyer (and the commission can force the price higher than the buyer would want, but you get my point).
And yes, prospecting is tough... however!! That doesn't mean you can't add some variety. Go to church, get lunch with friends, have a potluck with your neighbors, take public transportation and talk with the drivers, volunteer and network with others, keep posting on the BP forums and send requests to people in your area, etc. No one said you have to eat the porridge bland, bring out the toppings and seasoning! It may seem like a long road but enjoy the experience, have a few laughs and don't forget to ask if anyone's buying because eventually, those people will need to sell and guess who they're going to call? ;)
