Quote from @Jr Miller: The lack of human interaction increases our number of showings.

If you ever have a situation where your On Island Agent has to have interaction with your guests, you have to keep in mind this person is representing you. 

But I tend to like Bigger Pockets reviews even more because of the opportunity to interact with the author of the review.I will shout out to you in a pm as well.

Keeping notes on every interaction is a lifesaver when revisiting old leads.

In my opinion, if what you want is leads, you aren't going to make the right use out of Pro because you will be trolling for buyers and sellers instead of being an asset to the community and answering questions.If you've been a Pro member for several years and have only made three posts, you haven't been interacting with the community over that timeframe and that is where relationships are built.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

Quote from @John Clark: When I read successive “rah rah” posts, I smell skunk cabbage, but that’s just me.Perhaps, but also maybe folks are looking to spread positivity as a networking strategy, which resonates with how I aspire to be: Giving value in as many interactions as I can, because that truly is abundance.

This can help with limiting the time your unit sits vacant.These situations can get tricky, but I always recommend staying level headed during your interactions with the tenant.The worst case scenario is the tenant ends up unhappy that you don't want them to break the lease early and/or they don't want to pay for an early lease break (hopefully defined in your lease agreement with them) and ends up damaging your property, costing more, prior to their actual move out date.

Of course, after that brief interaction, I'm pretty sure I just become lost in a sea of other text messages.My question is do any of you see a way to utilize a strategy like this?
