This is a really good perspective and I’m glad you’re sharing it. It’s the same for real estate agents having buyers demand the best “deals” and not wanting to sign an agreement to work together, and loan officers being shopped for rates.
In the business of real estate, basically everyone works off a commission. This means everyone works for free-until a deal closes.
It makes it all too easy to waste peoples time, or have expectations that are completely one sided. I commend you for sticking to your principles and refusing to do business with someone too disrespectful to even meet with you.
New or novice investors, please take note. When you hear people complain “there are no deals out there” or “everyone is a liar”, keep in mind the people who you want to help build your wealth are saying the same things about the investors.
If you can’t understand the other person’s position (and respect it) you won’t last in this business very long!
