Close the sale by getting the customer to take action.I've been blinded by the light a few times. @ the end of the day I've found that alot of the text book real estate investing "education" i get on books and CD's from the seminar's Ive attended doesn't apply in real life.

Would renters be interested in living in a property that was more energy efficient, water efficient and better insulated?

I'm an energy analyst/energy trading and previous a credit analyst @ Wells Fargo.

Find another broker...They provide a commodity service and are supposed to be in the business of customer pleasing (which is why they work on commission)...if they're not doing that, find someone who will.If it's too late to switch, then don't feel bad about calling and bugging them EVERY SINGLE DAY.You're the customer...they need to start acting like it.

With your attitude of complete disdain for and hatred of your customers and your industry I would suggest something for which you're more suitably equipped; congressman perhaps, or Vice President of The United States.all cash

They try to provide a great service to the typical customer.2.

I have a customer that just had a fire at one of their 5-plex buildings.

If you don't have much to your name, I wouldn't worry about it until you actually have something to worry about.For wholesaling its all about your customer, the investor that you are selling to.

Back then I wasn't involved in real estate, but there were some times, especially when getting off the phone with a nasty potential customer, that I would end a call and be angry.

If this was any other industry they are your customers and you would have customer reward programs or other ways to remind them that you appreciate their business.The guy will move out at some point.
