I would think they would view me as a competitor!

Politicians are also common around here although they only put their signs on private property.The bankruptcy signs tend to be placed on wire stakes and stuck in the ground, whereas my competitors in REI seem to only mount their signs on polls.

Simply asking him if he would mind you giving his competitor his sheet should push him back a bit.

So in effect, the hedge fund was never really a major competitor for my part of the market.

@Jeff Owens I use Buildium and have posted about it in detail several times on BP, so take a look at my old posts.Bottom line, it is feature rich and does a lot of things very well, but it has some major accounting shortcomings that you wouldn't find with the much more expensive competitors (AppFolio, PropertyWare, etc).

I think it's important for BP members to know that Alberto Fernandez from Glencoe, Illinois is a direct competitor of PFR and was trained in many ways by my team before opening his own shop. 

Hi Aaron,You may want to try wufoo forms or one of their competitors.

Different customs in different places.I don't doubt any of the stories above, about how they have done business.I can tell you that any agent who insisted on an in-house pre-approval, resulting in hard pulls on my credit reports, before showing me any properties would get nothing from me but scornful laughter as I walked out the door, on the way to her competitor's office.By the same token, I cannot imagine a local agent ferrying around a local buyer.
